Wireless projects run smoothly with more access point support and competitive pricing
D-Link Wireless offers more supported APs to the WLC with the default license compared to other brands like Cisco. With Cisco, only four to five APs are connected with the default license, but D-Link Wireless provides more flexibility. Local support in Pakistan is necessary for those with limited budgets, creating a reach in the market.

AI insights have improved wireless visibility and now proactively prevent network issues
I am somewhat uncertain about the room for improvement for Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points because I am sure that some concepts will be incorporated in the future. Recently, HP acquired Juniper, and now under the HP umbrella, we have both Aruba and Juniper Mist, which raises questions about how to compete in the market. Customers often ask me to compare them, and I have to pitch both even though they are from the same organization. Regarding gaps for improvement for Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points, I think pricing is a complicated issue since Cisco can drastically reduce prices, unlike Juniper.

More D-Link Wireless pros
"The solution is very secure."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The most useful functions or features in Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points are the insights that tell you what is going on inside your Wi-Fi network, and you can easily find that on the dashboard with analytics."
"Mist AI is a very powerful feature. Juniper is the only company that has introduced AI into networking."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros
 

Cons

"The support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel."
"Password restriction: Sometimes we set a password and it uses that password but, after some days/months, the password gets changed and a few laptops still use old the password while a few use the new password. The password restriction option needs to improve."
"Sometimes we configure the SSID with a password but the same AP shows two WiFi connections with the same SSID name (one is protected by a password and another one give access without a password)."
"In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch."
"It would definitely help if we had more advanced features for distributing bandwidth."
"The solution's performance could be improved."
"In future releases, it can keep improving on countering the new patterns of security attacks."
"Its interface and support system need much improvement. Sometimes, when we use the interface to reset the password and configure SSIDs, or some other changes, the "Save" option does not show and we have to go to some internal setting and then we can "save" the setting. The “Save” option should be in front of or below of the settings."
More D-Link Wireless cons
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"Juniper should make the products more affordable."
"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"Though certain security features are integrated into the product, my company has to always look forward to tightening certain security functionalities in the solution."
