Pros

Cons
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""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.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""The solution is expensive.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device.""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 downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates.""The solution should improve stability.""I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment.""There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face.""I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution.""Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."

More Ubiquiti WLAN Cons →

"The solution can be scaled but it has limitations from my experience.""Inability to import a user with one click.""If a client device had issues with authentication due to out of date browser or similar difficulties, it would be nice to have the ability to migrate the client onto the portal via one click.""The price of this solution needs to reviewed, as it is currently high enough to deter customers from trying it.""I don't think they're available at the best price.""One of the things is if you buy it with a certain subscription, you can't easily change the subscription level."
