Consistently manages user capacity and satisfaction with ease

I have completed over twenty projects using Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points ( /products/juniper-mist-wireless-access-points-reviews ), 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.

A product with load-balancing features that offers scalability to its users

My major problem is right now, the area which I need to cover is around 7,000 to 10,000 square feet, where even the mesh routers don't work out for me because it is a huge area to be covered. To cover huge areas, I will have to put extenders. I will have to use mesh routers with extenders to cover a whole huge area with Wi-Fi. I would like NETGEAR Insight Access Points to extend the area coverage they provide. One of the major problems I see is that when you try to use NETGEAR Insight Access Points, the huge amount of options that are there can only be handled by a person who is experienced or knows the process. So there should be a guide that walks anyone through different options and different things about how to go work with the UI.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."

"For the most part, it does what it's supposed to do, and I like it. It's a great product."

"Mist AI is a very powerful feature. Juniper is the only company that has introduced AI into networking."

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

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

"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."

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

"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."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros

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

"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."

"[Being] able to configure the WiFi devices and to see utilization remotely, or from the cloud."

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

"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..."

"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."

"I'm able to do a lot of things, because the GUI is designed very well. I'm able to remotely make certain changes via my phone and apply them right away. It makes life easier when it comes to managing the equipment. The Insight management solution phone app is very good. It enables me to do what I want to do."

"The product's deployment is straightforward."

Cons

"They should include SD-WAN features to it."

"Though certain security features are integrated into the product, my company has to always look forward to tightening certain security functionalities in the solution."

"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."

"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."

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

"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."

"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 should be made cheaper."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

"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."

"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."

"The registration is annoying. I have to go back to NETGEAR and log tickets. Access points and router registration are something that they need to address in Insight. They need to fix the bug of getting the devices activated and enrolled in Insight without fighting with them. I have probably done about six of these in the last month. You get to see patterns."

"There is always room for improvement."

"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."

"My major problem is right now, the area which I need to cover is around 7,000 to 10,000 square feet...I would like NETGEAR Insight Access Points to extend the area coverage they provide."

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

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

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points cons

"The pricing is too high."

"The solution 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."

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

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pricing and cost advice

"The pricing seems to be reasonable."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"It wasn't much more than 100 dollars a year. For the devices that we have, the pricing was pretty fair."

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