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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"It is a pretty good solution."
"It provides high-speed network connections."
"I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"Installation is easy."
"What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The most effective features in the Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points include the fact that it's completely cloud-managed, the Marvis AI agent, the ease of use, and the user-friendly interface, along with a plethora of features."
"Mist AI is a very powerful feature. Juniper is the only company that has introduced AI into networking."
"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."
"The lack of integration or the lack of work needed to be put it into the local site to get it to work is really lovely."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The solution is very secure."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
 

Cons

"The speed could be a bit better."
"There was one time I had a problem with their centralized licensing. I called the Indian call center, but the response was not that good. One guy attended this call and he told me, "Definitely, I am forwarding your call to the next level. I'll let you know." After that, it took between 10 to 15 hours before I got a call back. By then, we had already resolved the issue. Therefore, they could improve the local support; there should be at very good Tier 1 and 2 support in India. They should be both proactive and reactive."
"Price is one of the major problems of the solution, and because of this, our company's customers want to migrate to some other product from Huawei."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."
"There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product."
"The stability could be improved."
"Technical support is not ideal. They sometimes cannot connect to the wireless access point or their connection drops."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"Supporting multiple protocols would be beneficial."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"If you want to go deeper in, to do more customization, or have an office with special needs, it can be a bit tricky to get help from Juniper and to get them to do something in the background of the cloud to help."
"Juniper should make the products more affordable."
"Though certain security features are integrated into the product, my company has to always look forward to tightening certain security functionalities in the solution."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"Right now, my company made a one-time purchase of Huawei Wireless. It depends, but in most of the projects where customers buy hardware with some software, it's a one-time purchase. Customers pay a yearly fee for other projects for support and additional software features, such as email protection firmware updates for cybersecurity. You'll also receive information about the latest attacks and get more protection if you pay an additional fee apart from the standard license fee. You'll also get an additional warranty for Huawei Wireless, a yearly contract."
"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions. It has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"It is not monthly. It is a kind of perpetual licensing. We pay once depending on the kind of services we need to deliver. There are no licensing fees."
"Its price is reasonable."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"We don't have any control on the pricing. This comes from Huawei in India. Pricing-wise, Huawei is very aggressive and competitive if you compare them to competitors, like Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus. The Indian Huawei team tells us, "Just pick up the order and design the infrastructure. If there are any pricing challenge, we'll work on that and we will try to match things 100 percent.""
"We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."
"The pricing is too high."
"I rate the product price as a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is expensive. It is a reasonably priced tool."
"Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"The pricing is fair."
"The solution is expensive."
"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
