Comparison Results: Due to Mist AI’s power consumption issue, Cisco Wireless is the clear winner in this comparison. According to reviews, it is a more mature and robust solution.
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."

"The most valuable features are that it is easy to install and the range is good."
"The solution offers very good stability."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Cisco Wireless is that the average connectivity for this WIFI access point is 2.5 gigabytes. That's the highest technology and highest connectivity. They started using the new technology and WIFI to get you a faster connectivity."
"Cisco's support team is the best in the industry."
"The tool's most valuable features are security, flexibility, user activity, and high bandwidth."
"It helps with the visibility on our network."
"Cisco Wireless technology allows us to logically segregate networks, to segregate the traffic between multiple types of endpoint devices, connected to the network. For example, corporate laptops are connected to one network, corporate iPhones will go through a different network."
"The product’s stability is great."
"The tool's best part is the GUI. It is user-friendly and fast due to AI features. The solution can help you fix things with AI, which is impressive."

"Has an extremely good feature set."
"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"AI-driven automation helps implement the solution quickly."
"If you compare wired versus wireless, it's convenient. You don't need to have one place for connectivity. You can move around and it's easier. Sometimes it's a hassle to work with wires, which is why wireless is so convenient."
"Natural language patching is an important feature."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The solution is expensive."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"The price could be better."
"There is no technology without room for improvement. The main setback with Cisco solutions, not only with Cisco Wireless, is having to update the OS manually. We are now migrating to Miraki, so we've been able to work that out."
"This solution is very expensive, which means we often have to go for cheaper options instead."
"The licensing models need to be reviewed in some instances. Obviously Cisco's licensing models are quite challenging, and it can be costly."
"The flexibility on the controllers isn't that great."
"Probably more in terms of how much power it's using. Right now it just seems like it doesn't have enough power. Maybe that is all indicated, but says exactly how much power it's using."
"The installation is very tiring and painful, the process could be easier."
"The coverage area of Cisco Wireless could improve. Additionally, the reports when a problem arises could be better, such as how it is done in Aruba Wireless solutions. In the Aruba wireless solutions, there are reports that are provided regarding uploads, downloads, and other internet activity that are useful. If this feature was added to Cisco that would be a benefit."
"The reporting tool in Cisco Wireless could improve. If I am trying to receive information about a client or user, it's cumbersome to retrieve the information on the controller system. If I'm trying to find out where a client's been, it's cumbersome. You need another tool for Historical logs, but it should be all in one."
"Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
"The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."
"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
