Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features.""Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance.""The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system.""Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management.""You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment.""The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence.""The artificial intelligence feature is very good.""The simplicity is great."

"I believe the initial setup was straightforward."

More ADTRAN Bluesocket Wireless Pros →

"Whenever I have a concern, question, or just need a refresher the helpful staff at AeroHive is there to help me. By far, the ]best relationship I have ever had with a vendor.""What I like best about ExtremeCloud IQ is its ease of use. Flexibility is another pro of ExtremeCloud IQ. I also find ExtremeCloud IQ feature-rich.""ExtremeCloud IQ is a complete package with the pilot and the co-pilot feature that gives me full visibility of the network.""What's most valuable for me in ExtremeCloud IQ is easy management. It also has centralized administration, so you don't have to go to the customer site to program it. It can be programmed remotely.""Its configuration and deployment are the most valuable.""ExtremeCloud IQ is integrated with the Ekahau tool so that you can log in to the ExtremeCloud IQ portal, upload the cloud plans, draw all the interiors, and plan the APs with the real-time AP position.""HiveManager is extremely easy to use for anyone with little network experience.""It allows me to see APs and clients that are having issues, allowing for faster support response and less downtime."

Cons
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""The price could be better.""The solution is expensive.""Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features.""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.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""The pricing should be made cheaper."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"Having a better dashboard management system that the client can use to access and control their environment would be a nice addition to the product.""Support is not really up to par in quickly addressing issues."

More ADTRAN Bluesocket Wireless Cons →

"They can improve just the onboarding process. More user information about the introduction to the product would be helpful. It would be good if they have a better user introduction to the new product because it is different than the prior version.""Pricing is a bit expensive.""Having a wizard for customers who are just starting might be helpful.""The solution will show us that there are some issues, but when we try to find those issues, we can't see them.""Need port aggregation on the 2384 switches to take full advantage of ac on the APs. I understand that is on their product road map.""We'd like to have a cloud dashboard from which we can see all devices.""A room for improvement in ExtremeCloud IQ is roaming. My team is facing roaming issues with the solution, particularly when using VoIP over WiFi. For example, VoIP sometimes breaks when you walk around the customer site. In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution, right now, the inventory for ExtremeCloud IQ is awful. There's no stock, and you must wait a year and a half for new stocks. It's awful.""Pricing could be improved. It could be lower."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."
  • "Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
  • "The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."
  • "The pricing is too high."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
  • "I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
  • "The pricing is fair."
  • More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It cost over $30,000 for us for 260 access points."
  • More ADTRAN Bluesocket Wireless Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Although the pricing is a bit high, I consider Aerohive to be well worth the money."
  • "Buy near the end of Q4 in order to get a deal."
  • "Bring the cost down."
  • "I would advise that you be sure to compare apples with apples. Many customers just look at the price per AP and licences, and compare that against other solutions. But, they do not look at the complete picture such as: TCO - how much the equipment will cost you over, say, seven years? Will the customer need to change complete infrastructure when they want to buy the newest hardware? Does support include a lifetime warranty and RMA?"
  • "For example, if you compare Aruba vs Aerohive, you need to check which licences from Aruba you need to match the functionality of Aerohive (usually you need at least three types of licences and a controller with redundancy). The same goes with Cisco, where you need buy additional licences for central management, firewall, spectral analysis, WIPS, PPSK, etc. Aerohive has a very simple model - one licence for all the functionalities - and you can believe that there are many. One licence makes it easy to maintain, scale, renew and you can plan your costs 10 years in advance."
  • "Start small and grow big. You can choose the basic Aerohive Connect free subscription solution and, later, if needed (in terms of functionality) you can upgrade to Aerohive Select."
  • "There are probably cheaper solutions but we invest for stability and performance for the longer haul."
  • "I did a multi-year license. It was a three-year license. It compares well with others in terms of the price. It is about a hundred dollars per year on a three-year scale."
