Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"It would be nicer if the dashboard was lighter.""It's a very complex system. Customers have told me that sometimes there are lots of advanced features that are available and that you can change in the dashboard, but sometimes it's very hard to know what they are.""The wait time to speak with a Meraki support engineer is always long, but they get the job done.""Meraki Dashboard could improve integration with non-Cisco platforms.""There needs to be more improvement on the device-connected interface.""If I am a user and I have a seat on the fourth floor, if I move across the building, the system should be able to track me and should be able to figure out my whereabouts or my position within the building if I'm connected to the wireless. That would make the administrator's life easier in terms of reachability.""What we would like from the IT perspective is a lot more granular control, more visibility into the packets, into the routing, and things of that nature.""You can't really clone or replicate a device, that sort of feature would be useful. You can clone the site but you cannot clone the device."

More Meraki Dashboard Cons →

"The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us.""Configuration could be improved.""It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language.""There is no local support for Mist in Brazil.""Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry.""There are some technical issues that may require attention""Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it.""The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."
