We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar and Mist AI and Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The simplicity is great."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"The features aren't much different than those in Aruba, but deployment is easier to configure and the pricing is better."
"Express in default configuration mode with first turn-on is easy to set up and deploy from a medium installation standpoint."
"We are very satisfied with the performance."
"One feature that differentiates Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar from some other vendors is the fact that on-premise OmniVista licenses are perpetual."
"The solution allows you to see the SNMP packets, the DPI packets, and the SNMP server."
"I have worked with different solutions in the past and switched to Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar because of its quick installation time. It requires no additional preparation. The product is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support of this solution is great. The timeliness of their responses is crucial for me. When I raise an issue, I can count on receiving a prompt reply, eliminating the need for extensive online searches or phone calls."
"There is a definite ROI with this product. This product creates a baseline of technology that will be a means to grow from five to ten years from now. By using this solution, it is an investment on the installation of that baseline."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect is that they operate on small microservices, offering numerous open APIs that enhance the value of our Wi-Fi network. This flexibility allows us to optimize various aspects such as workforce planning and occupancy management. The platform is highly open in the market, providing robust APIs for seamless integration with other tools. Currently, we leverage these capabilities at a building site, incorporating IoT sensors to gather data. The collected data is stored in a centralized location, and we plan to use AI for analysis. This analysis will include insights on peak activity times, humidity levels, temperature variations, and other relevant metrics within the building."
"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Mist AI and Cloud have definitely improved the functioning of our organization. The access to the Internet, including its speed and reliability, has significantly improved."
"Multi PSK (Pre-shared Key) is a very good feature in the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The AI deployment process involves adding access points and placing them in the designated area. The AI system automatically adjusts channel selection and transmission power without any issues with stability or throughput. It has improved network performance."
"The cost is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"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."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"The price could be better."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"If the customers plan to go on the cloud side, they need encryption and daily communications from a security perspective."
"I would prefer to have the integrated heat map feature provided by the basic controller in the Solution instead of purchasing an external one. Accessing this capability directly within the controller's access point would be convenient."
"It needs to be faster in order to process and transmit bigger packets."
"Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar's radio management side could be improved."
"The current implementation of our Guest Access network in isolation for Express mode is very complicated in comparison with leading market solutions."
"There are occasional OS bugs."
"It is not possible to integrate Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar with third-party software like Opera, a property management system (PMS)."
"Better integration with third-party systems is what our customers are expecting in the future."
"The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently."
"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."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
"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."
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it."
"Configuration could be improved."
