Cons
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""The solution is expensive.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The ease of use is average. It could be more user-friendly.""The solution's mobile application and management of dashboards are areas with shortcomings that need improvement.""Its price should be reduced.""I would like to see more cybersecurity. I would like the ability to go in and enhance security. Because WPA2 is becoming obsolete, many devices are now WPA3, but the challenge is that a lot of devices are not yet there. I would like to be able to go in and do monitoring, similar to ASPM. ASPM has the ability to monitor who's joining and who's active. It supports two-step monitoring. The stability of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN can also be improved.""The cost of the devices and the solution itself could be more competitive.""We would like the solution to work on the pricing of the solution. It would be ideal if it could bring the overall costs down.""When it comes to switching, Meraki lacks categories of features.""The initial setup was simple. However, the full deployment could be easier."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN Cons →

"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved.""It is less affordable for smaller businesses.""Aruba has better scaling capabilities.""We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem.""There should be more remote support for the mobile application.""Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with.""The price of the solution is an area requiring improvement since I want the solution to be made available at a cheaper price than its current market price.""The technical support could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."

  • More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Negotiate the deal put in front of you!"
  • "At this price point, I would not mind seeing a four-way channel, instead of a 3x3 or a 4x4, like they do in the Cisco Aironet system with their other brand. For the same price point in this other Cisco brand, it is a lot cheaper, and you can get a slightly better throughput than you can with these."
  • "​If you are wondering if Meraki can work for you, contact one of their representatives because they will do onsite trials where you can set up their system. If it does not work, you can send it back to them for no charge.​​"
  • "The price is negotiable."
  • "It's a pretty good value, but not great. Pricing is on a yearly basis for the Meraki solution."
  • "The price is good, but it could be improved."
  • "You have to renew your contract every year, or for three or for five years. If you do not pay right away they will suspend your subscription."
  • "The pricing is based on a subscription and is a bit high at the moment."

  • "Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
  • "TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
  • "The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
  • "The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."
  • "There is no need to pay for the licensing costs since my company is in South Africa. Omada Access Points can be termed as a medium-priced product."
  • "We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
  • "TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
  • "On a scale of one to ten for pricing, with one being cheap and ten being expensive, I would rate Omada Access Points at a one for its cost-effectiveness."
