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.
Calvin Ong - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"Mist AI is a very powerful feature. Juniper is the only company that has introduced AI into networking."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"For the most part, it does what it's supposed to do, and I like it. It's a great product."
"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 artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"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."
"The internet connectivity is good."
"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 product's deployment is straightforward."
"[Being] able to configure the WiFi devices and to see utilization remotely, or from the cloud."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"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."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"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."
"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."
"There is always room for improvement."
"A con is the backend system which is very, very slow."
"Due to certain shortcomings in the solution's stability, I feel that the solution's stability requires improvement."
"The pricing and standard connectivity can be further improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."

"We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."
"It is an expensive solution."

"My company does not need to pay anything related to the solution's licensing costs."
"It wasn't much more than 100 dollars a year. For the devices that we have, the pricing was pretty fair."
