We performed a comparison between Cisco Wireless and Mist AI and Cloud based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Due to Mist AI’s power consumption issue, Cisco Wireless is the clear winner in this comparison. According to reviews, it is a more mature and robust solution.
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"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 provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"Our organization has improved using this product because it helps enhance user experience. We use video communication a lot, like Skype. We used to get a lot of interference before and had a lot of issues during wireless voice or video calls. We get greater speed and performance with wireless now. It is nearly the same as a wired network."
"Device profiling allows us to have different policies applied by ISE to wireless clients."
"The product’s stability is great."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Wireless are the level of control and management. I am happy with it."
"Wireless access has enabled users to be mobile and as a result, more productive."
"You need to learn the technology but after that the setup is easy."
"The tool's most valuable features are security, flexibility, user activity, and high bandwidth."
"The most valuable features are mobility and security."
"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Ability to control the access points by groups."
"The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."
"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."
"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."
"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."
"AI is the most valuable feature."
"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The price could be better."
"The solution should introduce natural language troubleshooting processes. It will identify possible problems or errors due to the symptoms."
"It would be better if some utility lets us know the best place to install the system. Every time we install it, we have to change it, and we have to add more access points. This is a problem we have all the time. It would be better if it integrated seamlessly with products from other vendors. It'll also help if they included a device diagnostics feature in the next release."
"The coverage area of Cisco Wireless could improve. Additionally, the reports when a problem arises could be better, such as how it is done in Aruba Wireless solutions. In the Aruba wireless solutions, there are reports that are provided regarding uploads, downloads, and other internet activity that are useful. If this feature was added to Cisco that would be a benefit."
"Cisco Wireless needs to improve compatibility with Apple devices. Its deployment should also be made easier. It should also reduce the complexity around security."
"Improvement needed in RRM, ATF, Ortho-Polarization, AP concurrent client processing."
"The flexibility on the controllers isn't that great."
"No product can be a ten out of ten and there are some security issues."
"There is no technology without room for improvement. The main setback with Cisco solutions, not only with Cisco Wireless, is having to update the OS manually. We are now migrating to Miraki, so we've been able to work that out."
"There could be more integration."
"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."
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."
"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."
"Regarding opportunities for improvement in Mist, it is notable for its robust cloud portal and integration of artificial intelligence into various services, creating a highly efficient environment for work. However, a drawback lies in the cost associated with its WiFi offerings. With a pricing range of twelve hundred to fifteen hundred dollars for a single Access Point, exclusive of the subscription, it is acknowledged as a relatively expensive solution in the realm of WiFi services. Despite this drawback, the positive attributes of Mist make it a noteworthy option."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
