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 valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features are mobility and security."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is reliability."
"The ability to make different types of networks, such as land networks, is the most valuable part of the solution."
"The Guest feature is pretty good."
"We've found the technical support to be helpful and responsive."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"One of the main advantages of Cisco Wireless is its DNAT compatibility. When we have dynamic segmentation, or the DNAT enabled on the LAN, Cisco Access Point integrates with the DNAT architecture. Aruba Switches cannot integrate with the Cisco DNAT architecture."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to install and the range is good."
"Regarding features, the solution seems to be very intuitive."
"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."
"Natural language patching is an important feature."
"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."
"Has an extremely good feature set."
"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."
"If you compare wired versus wireless, it's convenient. You don't need to have one place for connectivity. You can move around and it's easier. Sometimes it's a hassle to work with wires, which is why wireless is so convenient."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The solution is expensive."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"There's a delay in equipment that comes to Columbia, to our country, and that lasts almost six months."
"The price should be reduced. It should be cheaper."
"The installation is not too difficult but the solution could improve by making the configuration easier."
"The main problem that traditional solutions like this one have is that you need to buy packages to deliver a similar solution as a Meraki one."
"The current issue with Cisco is I don't have centralized management."
"Cisco Wireless could improve if they had some kind of social media integration. There is some limitation with social media integration and wireless interaction. They need to add some additional components to their wireless devices to complete the solution or requirements."
"We've recently had hardware issues which have caused us some problems."
"The new GUI interface and the newer version OS are a little bit more complex than the older version, however, it just might take some getting used to."
"The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."
"There could be more integration."
"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."
