Consistently manages user capacity and satisfaction with ease

I have completed over twenty projects using Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points, and I continue to see exceptional performance in the areas of user capacity, user experience, and user satisfaction. This makes Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points highly recommended if the customer's budget allows, as the hardware performance is also very good. From my perspective, the Juniper reporting logs are clear and provide necessary data, which supports better management and diagnosis.

Reasonably priced product with a straightforward deployment process

I never thought about what could be made better in the product since my company is a customer-centric organization where we provide Aruba or NETGEAR, depending on the demands and needs of our customers. The product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward. It would be great if it was possible to send notifications regarding some errors related to the product that can be sent from our company to our clients through the organization's post-sales team.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."

"It's well-detailed in terms of troubleshooting logs."

"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."

"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."

"The solution is very secure."

"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."

"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."

"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros

"The product's deployment is straightforward."

"Our company sometimes uses the solution's technical support, and we have seen that they sort out our general problems quickly."

"We use NETGEAR's Insight management solution to do off-property controls. It is user-friendly and provides network management, monitoring, and service deployment across multiple remote and local sites. That means I don't have to be physically at a location to do things if I want to make any changes to the network. It saves time and money."

"From the WiFi aspect, it's very intuitive and easy to use. The solution enables me to manage my entire WiFi from anywhere in the world..."

"I now have the ability to remote access my network. That works extremely well. I can access it from any place. I don't need to be physically at the device. This saves me on time and travel."

"The meshing capabilities are the most valuable feature. When I am going in-between buildings, my phone doesn't have to pick up different WiFi. They are all the same. Even in-between the buildings, I stay connected."

"The initial setup of NETGEAR Insight Access Points was straightforward."

"I am all about simplicity. With the Insight management solution, I don’t need an additional cloud controller, appliance, network manager, or PC/server to configure and manage my access points. You have to look at cost, and everything has a cost. There is a cost to using Insight. But if the cost is reasonable, I don't want another layer. The ability to deploy a network and then have that software built-in, without having to go to a third-party, is big. Also, the less pieces that I have to call in on, the better. So, when I'm calling NETGEAR, it's not like I'm using some third-party piece of software to manage their product. It doesn't add that layer of complexity, which is key."

Cons

"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."

"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."

"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."

"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."

"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."

"The price could be better."

"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

"Ubiquiti is a very good company. NETGEAR should look at that model and expand on its remote capabilities. Ubiquiti seems to have a better product."

"Due to certain shortcomings in the solution's stability, I feel that the solution's stability requires improvement."

"A con is the backend system which is very, very slow."

"Software-wise, they need to provide the ability to kick users out. If multiple users are abusing the system or the network, I should be able to block them for a time and, when I need to unblock them, I should be able to do so by using their MAC ID. That feature might already be there and I just don't know about it."

"I have some frustrations with the ease of use. It tends to be sluggish. The graphical interface is pretty, but not useful. They have this tree that shows connected devices, which makes no sense whatsoever because the labeling field of the tree truncates all the items to the point that it's almost useless. You can't even tell what it is. I would prefer a spreadsheet list of the gear as opposed to a graphical representation."

"While the data throughput does provide us with full insight into data being used, we find that it's not very accurate."

"The product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward."

"The biggest issue I've had is that it works very well with the WiFi, but it does not offer any assistance at all with the routers. You can't control them or manage them at all. As soon as you want to use anything on the network side—because I have multiple 28-port switches—you can't manage them using this app."

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."

"If a customer has a budget of around five lakhs in Indian currency, they can afford Juniper products."

"I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."

"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 solution is expensive."

"The pricing is fair."

"The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pricing and cost advice

"I think that the price of the product is reasonable."

"Their pricing is perfect for smaller businesses who are money and budget conscious. There are a lot of other solutions out there that are two to three times more expensive."

"The pricing seems to be reasonable."

"For what you get, the price of Insight access points is very reasonable."

"My company does not need to pay anything related to the solution's licensing costs."

"I can source the stuff pretty quickly wherever I go through the distributor. There is pricing available at NETGEAR if you can spend between $2,000 and $5,000 on a solution. So, there is special pricing that they can help with. The vendor's reps are very responsive. They have a good channel system."

"We have some basic models they give without a license."

"It is an expensive solution."
