We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices.""The artificial intelligence feature is very good.""The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs.""The solution is pretty generic and easy to use.""The solution is very secure.""Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."

"From the WiFi aspect, it's very intuitive and easy to use. The solution enables me to manage my entire WiFi from anywhere in the world...""The internet connectivity is good.""The product's deployment is straightforward.""The initial setup of NETGEAR Insight Access Points was straightforward.""I now have the ability to remote access my network. That works extremely well. I can access it from any place. I don't need to be physically at the device. This saves me on time and travel.""[Being] able to configure the WiFi devices and to see utilization remotely, or from the cloud.""Our company sometimes uses the solution's technical support, and we have seen that they sort out our general problems quickly.""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."

"All of the interfacing is very good.""Firstly, I initially purchased the device to build a VPN, and one very valuable feature for me was the ability to create a layer two VPN, which was available on the legacy ER router. It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with.""I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage.""Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance.""Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software.""The initial setup was very straightforward.""The management features are valuable.""The solution has a lot of great features."

Cons
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process.""They should include SD-WAN features to it."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"I have some frustrations with the ease of use. It tends to be sluggish. The graphical interface is pretty, but not useful. They have this tree that shows connected devices, which makes no sense whatsoever because the labeling field of the tree truncates all the items to the point that it's almost useless. You can't even tell what it is. I would prefer a spreadsheet list of the gear as opposed to a graphical representation.""The registration is annoying. I have to go back to NETGEAR and log tickets. Access points and router registration are something that they need to address in Insight. They need to fix the bug of getting the devices activated and enrolled in Insight without fighting with them. I have probably done about six of these in the last month. You get to see patterns.""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.""There is always room for improvement.""The product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward.""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.""My major problem is right now, the area which I need to cover is around 7,000 to 10,000 square feet...I would like NETGEAR Insight Access Points to extend the area coverage they provide.""While the data throughput does provide us with full insight into data being used, we find that it's not very accurate."

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points Cons →

"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved.""There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face.""I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment.""The solution should improve stability.""The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world.""Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones.""Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch.""The coverage could be increased."
