It provides us with enterprise-level authentication methods at a decent cost

ExtremeWireless is deployed in our staff quarters. It's a small building with three floors, and we have deployed eight ExtremeWireless access points. It is an appropriate solution for the moderate bandwidth needs in the staff quarters. However, we don't use ExtremeWireless for heavy video streaming…

Cons

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

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

"The price could be better."

"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."

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

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

"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

"They could provide different product models. Additionally, there could be a feature to manage devices."

"ExtremeWireless should fix some general bugs and make the user interface more user-friendly."

"The ExtremeWireless WiNG Access Point on-premise is not as good as the cloud and many of my customers are switching. It is easier for my clients to manage everything from the cloud. I currently use a model of the controller that does not support any cloud functionality."

"The ability to integrate with network devices from other vendors would be helpful."

"The onsite controllers are not as good as the cloud controller. I would also like ExtremeWireless to add web filtering on the access point. This feature is available from other vendors but not ExtremeWireless."

"The user interface of ExtremeWireless could be better. It is not user-friendly."

"The main area for improvement is the company's local visibility."

"The management portal is in need of improvement."

More ExtremeWireless cons

"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."

"There could be more integration."

"There seems to be different versions of standards used in the wireless access points. In the future, it would be helpful if the solution could come up with some kind of universal standard for all devices and all access points."

"If there's one thing I'd like to change, it's the pricing. They are quite expensive, but honestly, it's justified by the value they provide. However, for a simple Wi-Fi connectivity with basic security needs, there are alternatives in the market that offer comparable features at a more budget-friendly price."

"In future releases, they need to add some router models. Because currently, it supports only SSR and WAN routers. But adding other routers would be good."

"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."

"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."

"The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pricing and cost advice

"The solution has a yearly subscription, and we have to pay additional costs for technical support."

"There are both paid and free licenses of the cloud environment, with only basic functionality in the free version."

"The solution is priced well and we currently are only paying for a license for maintenance."

"ExtremeWireless isn't budget-friendly. The hardware costs around 20,000 Indian rupees. We're still using an older controller, so it doesn't require a license, unlike the newest versions of the ExtremeWireless controller."

"The purchase of 350 access points cost approximately $250,000 USD."

"We pay approximately $30,000 per year."

"ExtremeWireless is subscription-based for both cloud and on-prem solutions, and it's quite expensive."

"I rate the product's pricing a three or four out of ten."

More ExtremeWireless pricing and cost advice

"Mist AI and Cloud is expensive."

"The price of this product is approximately the same as competing products in the market."

"The price is about the same compared to other vendors. There is an add-on license, but it's up to you if you want to buy it or not."

"The price is not cheap, but it's a reliable solution and very easy for management."

"The solution is expensive in Brazil."

"The solution's price is too high for the end-users. My customers pay 1,000 USD towards the licensing cost of the solution every year."

"The annual cost is a significant issue for us, and it notably contributes to the overall price. We have a customer with nearly fifty-eight access points in a multifunctional building, and while the setup was relatively simple, the yearly licensing cost is substantial. For the specific features we utilize, the licensing amounts to about forty thousand euros annually. This is not a trivial expense and significantly impacts the overall cost, making it quite high."

"The custom licensing is a little bit expensive and I would rate it 7.5 out of 10."

Overview

Juniper Wireless Access Points work in conjunction with Juniper Mist Cloud Services and Mist AI to deliver premier wireless access capabilities. The Juniper Mist Edge extends microservices to the campus to bring agility and scale while enabling new applications at the edge.

Extreme ExtremeWireless Access Points deliver wired-like performance, at scale for high-density in every environment. Smart Access Points are equally adept for both distributed and centralized deployment models. ExtremeWireless Controllers provide advanced functionality to allow organizations to define how wireless voice/video/data traffic is processed without architectural constraints and in accordance with business needs.

Mist AI uses a combination of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science techniques to optimize user experiences and simplify operations across the wireless access, wired access, and SD-WAN domains.

Data is ingested from numerous sources, including Juniper Mist Access Points, Switches, Session Smart Routers, and Firewalls for end-to-end insight into user experiences. These devices work in concert with Mist AI to optimize user experiences from client-to-cloud, including automated event correlation, root cause identification, Self-Driving Network™ operations, network assurance, proactive anomaly detection, and more.

Juniper also leverages Mist AI for next-generation customer support. It is the foundational element behind Marvis, the industry’s first AI-driven Virtual Network Assistant, which provides extensive insight and guidance to IT staff via a natural language conversational interface.

With Mist AI, operators save time and money with faster problem resolution and fewer onsite visits. Users benefit from a network infrastructure that is more predictable, reliable, and measurable.
