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.

Centralized management has simplified our home Wi‑Fi setup and supports multiple users reliably

Given my experience with NETGEAR Insight Access Points, my piece of advice for other organizations considering it is that they have to look at the rest of their system because NETGEAR Insight Access Points is quite useless with anything but the Wi-Fi system. I rate this product an 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."

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

"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points save considerable time compared to legacy vendors such as Cisco, Ubiquiti, or Cambium, which require extensive troubleshooting."

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

"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."

"The most useful functions or features in Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points are the insights that tell you what is going on inside your Wi-Fi network, and you can easily find that on the dashboard with analytics."

"The visibility is good, the controller is very nice and easy to work with, and the bottom line is it's a good vendor and it's a good solution for WiFi."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros

"The metrics demonstrate that NETGEAR really does a good job of balancing the load between the various access points on the networks and this results in an elimination of downtime."

"The biggest lesson that I've learned from using the Insight access points is that there is no need for expertise."

"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."

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

"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 solution enables me to manage my entire network from anywhere in the world."

"My advice would be to go ahead and switch to this one, because this is the best-performing device I have seen so far."

"I now have the ability to remote access my network, which works extremely well and saves me time and travel because I can access it from any place without needing to be physically at the device."

Cons

"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."

"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."

"The reporting logs require improvement in terms of clarity because it can be difficult to find specific information about network influences."

"The pricing should be made cheaper."

"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."

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

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

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

"There is always room for improvement."

"Software-wise, they need to provide the ability to kick users out."

"I put in a NETGEAR BR200 router and it gave me a lot of headaches when trying to create VLANs."

"The pricing and standard connectivity can be further improved."

"When it comes to features needing improvement, the WAX610, WAC540 and the WAX610Y do not reliably stay online and this is especially true of the WAC540."

"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."

"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."

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

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

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

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