RamPrakash Ramar - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager, Engineering at Benchmark Broadcast Systems
Monitor broadcast systems effectively with real-time data processing and insightful feedback
The solution will monitor data in real-time and can scale out well. For instance, in a television studio, I might deal with about three hundred pieces of equipment. However, in other sites, it can handle 200 to 2500 nodes that send data every second. The system efficiently processes and analyzes data to provide insightful feedback, such as pinpointing specific equipment errors. It also offers predictive analytics based on received data, rather than just storing it.
IhorShtanko - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Consultant Of Juniper Networks Division at MUK
AI-driven insights have transformed enterprise network management and reduced issue resolution time
Juniper Mist Wired Assurance is a great solution for the enterprise area because it allows for easy and very fast deployment and easy maintenance. Juniper Mist Wired Assurance provides services such as AI assistance, which helps find different issues, and a virtual assistant that recommends what you should do to resolve these issues. It is a very scalable solution because we can deploy thousand switches in several minutes. The capabilities of Juniper Mist Wired Assurance that I find most useful include zero-touch provisioning. We can deploy any switch from the box by only connecting the switch to the internet. Each switch has a QR code on the box that we can scan to add the switch to our organization, and the switch gets all needed configuration that we have prepared before. We can use different templates for each site or the same configuration for all switches in the organization, regardless of how many sites we have. The real-time anomaly detection of Juniper Mist Wired Assurance is effective because this solution uses AI and a virtual assistant, allowing us to decrease the quantity of problem cases. The virtual assistant quickly finds different problems on the whole network and sends messages to the administrator or system administrator with recommendations on how to resolve the problem. End users cannot open a ticket because the administrator resolves the problem. The predictive analytics tools in Juniper Mist Wired Assurance include premium analytics as a different license. When we use this analytics, we get a lot of useful information over a long period of time. We can get information about the whole network, as well as about end users and devices, such as computers, and everything that connects to the network. This solution allows us to check the quality of network transmission. It constantly uses Marvis Minis, which is a cloud service that checks every hour if the network works properly. The automated network health metrics in Juniper Mist Wired Assurance utilize templates that are used by automatic tools in the Mist cloud. This very simplified deployment and maintenance approach works for all networks. When we need to change one function on all switches, we can use this template to do it very quickly and automatically. We can also use settings to update all switches to the recommended JTAC version of JUNOS, and this task will be done automatically. The impact of AI-driven insights on operational efficiency in Juniper Mist Wired Assurance helps improve network reliability and allows us to find and resolve any issues quickly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of DataMiner is its comprehensiveness. It provides an open driver that allows you to customize and program each aspect of the system. Additionally, there are many separate modules available that can be used to enhance the system's capabilities beyond just monitoring, allowing you to manage your entire workflow. This is a valuable feature that makes troubleshooting easier and helps to optimize the use of the system."
"DataMiner performs quite well because it can be customized to your requirements, to what you want to see."
"Among other NMS systems, DataMiner is considered the leader, and other NMS systems look up to DataMiner and aim to compete with it."
"Data Miner allows you to take control. It has an API to talk to different products, including drivers to talk to the APIs of third-party products. You can control it from the screen."
"The solution will monitor data in real-time and can scale out well."
"The solution is user-friendly and is readily customizable, which allows us to do control and monitoring in a single stage."
"The customer chose this solution because it helped reduce the number of trouble tickets. It’s easy to deploy and troubleshoot, as the solution uses AI to identify root issues."
"Juniper Mist Wired Assurance is a great solution for the enterprise area because it allows for easy and very fast deployment and easy maintenance."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist Wired Assurance is zero-touch provisioning for query edge switches. You can connect the switch directly to your edge locations and then directly onboard, similar to the Cisco Meraki solutions."
"The product greatly improved our organization in terms of making configuration, deployment, and firmware upgrades easy for multiple automated devices."
 

Cons

"I am looking forward to the company continuing to improve its solution and incorporate new technologies. Specifically, I hope that they will allow their cloud database environment to host services, rather than requiring the use of on-premises digital or physical servers. The company is moving in this direction, but I am still waiting for this capability to be implemented."
"The system's complexity during installation could be reduced."
"Sometimes DataMiner is not stable, with rare memory leakage issues and other software problems."
"We would like to have more products supported by the drivers because there are so many products out there. If DataMiner has not built the drivers to support them we can not control them, we can only see them based on SNMP. If more drivers are included, it won't cost us if we have new products."
"The platform’s monitoring tool is not up to the mark. It is not proactive enough and lacks some capabilities. Additionally, they should work on providing integration with other vendors."
"The configuration aspect of the solutions is relatively new, but I have had positive experiences. However, for more advanced tasks, such as VXLANs on the EX platform, Juniper Mist Wired Assurance may not be the best option due to certain limitations. Nonetheless, it does have a CLI override feature for specialized configurations that cannot be done through the GUI."
"This cloud solution is built on microservices, and Juniper continuously adds new ones to enhance performance or introduce additional services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"DataMiner is an expensive solution and that is why many companies do not use it. Other solutions are less expensive."
