Pros
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good.""The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done.""With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features.""The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs.""The solution is stable.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""The simplicity is great.""The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."

"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
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""The solution is expensive.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."

More Juniper Mist Wireless 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."

More SonicWall SonicWave Access Points Cons →

"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process.""The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions.""The solution is stable but could improve.""Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones.""When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved.""The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability.""I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution.""Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
