Featured Reviews

Mike Scofield - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides efficient, controllerless setup and supports high client numbers
Cambium Networks Wireless LAN was well-priced and offered a controllerless setup, which was more unusual at the time we first used them. This meant they could operate independently without a controller, unlike many other products that required a controller. Also, they had a software-based controller or management system that we initially used. The product was scalable, allowing for fewer access points to cover more area, and supported a high number of clients. We were able to deploy them across multiple sites within a limited timeframe, thanks to their efficient setup process.
Raihan Hossain - PeerSpot reviewer
Consistently manages user capacity and satisfaction with ease
I have completed over twenty projects using Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points ( /products/juniper-mist-wireless-access-points-reviews ), and I continue to see exceptional performance in the areas of user capacity, user experience, and user satisfaction. This makes Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points highly recommended if the customer's budget allows, as the hardware performance is also very good. From my perspective, the Juniper reporting logs are clear and provide necessary data, which supports better management and diagnosis.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months."
"They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool."
"It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure."
"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."
"What I like best about Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is that it's easy to configure, has no licensing hassle, and is a controller-based solution."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"The product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization."
"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."
"The solution is very secure."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."
"It's well-detailed in terms of troubleshooting logs."
"The simplicity is great."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
 

Cons

"Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available."
"The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness."
"Cambium currently lacks such extensive analytics capabilities."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the configuration options for point-to-point setups directly from the cloud management interface. Currently, the process feels a bit clunky—you monitor the unit in the cloud but need to make configuration changes by editing a text file, then downloading it back to the unit. This method can be error-prone, as even a small mistake in the text file could disrupt the unit's configuration."
"The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"
"The capacity and coverage could be improved."
"The platform's cost needs 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 AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"The solution is expensive."
"Juniper should make the products more affordable."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"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."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the product price as one."
"I would place it in the mid-range market segment, balancing affordability and profitability."
"In general, the way we purchased it was we purchased it at the beginning, was with five years of support, once our initial cost was met, we didn't have to pay for anything else."
"The licensing costs for this solution are calculated per asset, and depending on the model of the equipment, it starts at $230, and goes up to roughly $1,200. The benefit of this solution is that there are no hidden costs; no cost for managing the equipment, and no cost for maintaining the equipment during its usable lifetime."
"The pricing for Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is much cheaper than Meraki. For example, I have to pay $200 for one AP from Cambium, while for a Meraki AP, I have to pay $450 including the user license. Meraki has a higher price over Cambium Networks Wireless LAN."
"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten."
"It's a good price, but not the best price. It's on the higher end of what I would call affordable for small to medium-sized businesses."
"The pricing and licensing might vary based on each country's specific needs and telecommunication regulations."
"The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."
"Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"If a customer has a budget of around five lakhs in Indian currency, they can afford Juniper products."
"The pricing is too high."
"We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."
"I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"I rate the product price as a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is expensive. It is a reasonably priced tool."
