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.

Implementing advanced security features requires in-depth knowledge and setup
I am familiar with Juniper Mist Wired Assurance or Mist Premium Analytics, more on the security and firewall side. Currently, I need to renew my Juniper certification, so I am looking at Mist and some of the other cloud-based solutions. I am familiar with the Juniper vSRX or SRX, and I am mostly an SRX specialist. I have been using it for years and we still leverage them. The virtual SRX is primarily in the home lab, but I do actually have physical SRX. I have not tested any features such as automated network insights yet as we are still in our initial three months evaluation. Regarding configuration management, I had previously leveraged Security Director and other items that we could utilize, but it would require a relatively large environment of Juniper devices to really take advantage of it. I rate Juniper Sky Enterprise a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product greatly improved our organization in terms of making configuration, deployment, and firmware upgrades easy for multiple automated devices."
"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."
"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 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."
"What I find valuable with this product are the best features; if we were able to implement it to its full potential, anti-malware and the behavior-based features would add value to the environment."
 

Cons

"This cloud solution is built on microservices, and Juniper continuously adds new ones to enhance performance or introduce additional services."
"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."
"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 primary issue is ease of use in deployment. It requires significant expertise."
