There is no need to buy additional controllers for managing access points.
There are significant time savings, around thirty to forty percent, due to minimal disconnections.
The return on investment is huge and unmatched, as the devices are not expensive and are highly beneficial for day-to-day business operations.
I only needed support once or twice for a replacement, and it was handled smoothly without any difficulty.
I would rate their technical support nine out of ten.
The customer support is good.
My impression of Juniper support is generally good, and I would rate it probably a 9.
Technical support is very good.
The support quality needs improvement, particularly in terms of reachability and response time after the merger.
The issues were mainly related to response time.
The solution is scalable, as multiple sites connect seamlessly.
It is easy to adapt and very scalable.
The cloud, which operates on Amazon Web Services (AWS), can support unlimited access points.
It's built for larger environments.
I would rate scalability at nine out of ten.
In terms of scalability, Mist AI and Cloud is scalable.
I have been using the product for the last nine years without facing any issues post-installation.
I don't remember it going down during the years it existed.
Aruba Wireless is stable.
Mist AI and Cloud is stable, and I would rate its stability as eight out of ten.
The product should be more affordable, especially the cloud and console for the Aruba product as it is currently very expensive.
While the technical specifications are satisfactory, the access points are expensive.
At the time of purchase, the prices were moderate, but now they are quite expensive.
Juniper products are still coming to market, HP offers its own access point range, which competes with Juniper's premium Mist access points intended for enterprise customers.
The reporting logs require improvement in terms of clarity.
I suggest that the AI tool in the Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points needs to be a little bit more ChatGPT-like, allowing easier communication in normal language instead of requiring specific prompts.
Since the merger or integration between Mist AI and Cloud and HP, it has affected service quality negatively.
From a Juniper perspective, there is a need for further improvements in the SRX and the given solution area.
If Juniper or Mist can enhance the management of third-party devices, it would make sense, as the current functionalities offer limited insight compared to managing Juniper or Mist devices.
The pricing seems reasonable compared to other brands; however, it is too expensive for smaller businesses.
The pricing can be expensive.
The initial prices were more affordable compared to the current high prices.
Juniper Mist is cheaper than Meraki, placing it in the middle of the pack.
The price is very high, which is why not all enterprises can purchase this product.
Regarding pricing, Juniper's cost rates as a seven on a scale where one represents a high price and ten represents a low price.
Compared with other solutions, Mist AI and Cloud is not that expensive and is considered moderate in pricing.
Mist AI and Cloud is not an expensive tool and is very competitive.
I do not need to buy a controller for the access point since the Aruba Access Point has a built-in virtual controller.
The Aruba Wireless solution has excellent roaming capabilities, ensuring seamless connectivity.
It has many features and is integrated with Azure AD and multiple active directories, making authentication easy.
I have gained valuable insights from the Mist Cloud's analytics and network insights, as it tells you a lot of things, including details about Microsoft Teams calls, identifying which calls were good or bad, and correlating that to the client's signal and which access point the client was connected to at the time.
It's a cloud solution with Mist, which helps troubleshoot and provides visibility to look at different access points.
From my perspective, the Juniper reporting logs are clear and provide necessary data, which supports better management and diagnosis.
The AI-driven automation, like Mist, assists the network manager and operation manager in troubleshooting the wireless network by identifying signal issues and offering timely assistance.
Mist AI and Cloud's orchestration is beneficial for troubleshooting and proactive analysis, offering proactive solutions before issues arise.
Juniper doesn't have a wireless LAN controller; they used to have it in the past, but recently everything about Juniper wireless LAN is on Mist AI.

Reviews from Real Users
Aruba Networks is aiding organizations in transforming to a hybrid work environment with Aruba Wireless. Users especially love its ability to work with many devices and its ability to group and manage access points.
A senior IT solutions architect at a manufacturing company says, "The most valuable feature is the fact that it can work with many devices. It supports everything that we need it to."
Gary F., a network administrator at wireless at Abilene Christian, notes, "I like the way it groups and manages access points."
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.
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.
