We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""The artificial intelligence feature is very good.""The simplicity is great.""The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence.""In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment.""It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."

"The initial setup of NETGEAR Insight Access Points was straightforward.""The product's deployment is straightforward.""From the WiFi aspect, it's very intuitive and easy to use. The solution enables me to manage my entire WiFi from anywhere in the world...""The meshing capabilities are the most valuable feature. When I am going in-between buildings, my phone doesn't have to pick up different WiFi. They are all the same. Even in-between the buildings, I stay connected.""We use NETGEAR's Insight management solution to do off-property controls. It is user-friendly and provides network management, monitoring, and service deployment across multiple remote and local sites. That means I don't have to be physically at a location to do things if I want to make any changes to the network. It saves time and money.""Our company sometimes uses the solution's technical support, and we have seen that they sort out our general problems quickly.""[Being] able to configure the WiFi devices and to see utilization remotely, or from the cloud.""I'm able to do a lot of things, because the GUI is designed very well. I'm able to remotely make certain changes via my phone and apply them right away. It makes life easier when it comes to managing the equipment. The Insight management solution phone app is very good. It enables me to do what I want to do."

"Unlike the Cisco solution that needs a dedicated wireless controller outside of a firewall, SonicWall has everything in one box. Fortinet is close to it.""The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to provide cloud access to configure and manage devices.""A good management tool that can be managed through the cloud or firewall."

Cons
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""The price could be better."

"The biggest issue I've had is that it works very well with the WiFi, but it does not offer any assistance at all with the routers. You can't control them or manage them at all. As soon as you want to use anything on the network side—because I have multiple 28-port switches—you can't manage them using this app.""While the data throughput does provide us with full insight into data being used, we find that it's not very accurate.""The product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward.""Due to certain shortcomings in the solution's stability, I feel that the solution's stability requires improvement.""There is always room for improvement.""Ubiquiti is a very good company. NETGEAR should look at that model and expand on its remote capabilities. Ubiquiti seems to have a better product.""The registration is annoying. I have to go back to NETGEAR and log tickets. Access points and router registration are something that they need to address in Insight. They need to fix the bug of getting the devices activated and enrolled in Insight without fighting with them. I have probably done about six of these in the last month. You get to see patterns.""My major problem is right now, the area which I need to cover is around 7,000 to 10,000 square feet...I would like NETGEAR Insight Access Points to extend the area coverage they provide."

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points Cons →

"The product's pricing is high and could be improved.""We have a lot of overlapping wireless networks with a lot of cheap equipment that does not run on any rules or regulations. The best way to improve the wireless network, like in SonicWaves, is to defeat these networks by isolating, preventing them, or overcoming their wireless signal. We try to do that, but I live near an airport, and the AirPortRadar glitches my wireless network every nine seconds.""Integrating with the firewall and management console was a little complex."
