A cost-effective cloud controller solution for real-time detection
Customers are increasingly focusing on seamless roaming between Dell Ruckus access points. They want to know how quickly and reliably their devices can switch connections as they move around, minimizing downtime and disruptions. Specifically, they are interested in the frequency and aggressiveness of roaming protocols, ensuring smooth transitions without disconnecting from the network. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Mohammed Junaid Khatib - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Has improved troubleshooting efficiency with AI-driven insights but requires a simpler user interface
Mist AI and Cloud has integrated artificial intelligence and introduced a Marvis tool, making troubleshooting much easier compared to Cisco, Extreme, or any other vendor. The Marvis tool includes Marvis Action and Marvis Mini. In Marvis Mini, you can enter the MAC address, site name, or device name to get complete details of any issues the device is facing. If you enter the MAC address of a device, it will show the types of issues such as roaming, authentication, or IP address problems. This eliminates the need to manually search for errors on the controller. The troubleshooting has been significantly simplified through Marvis Mini, which is integrated with AI. Additionally, Marvis Action helps with alerting and monitoring, showing how many devices are down and what kinds of connectivity, DHCP, or authentication issues exist, providing alerts without the need to manually monitor all devices. Mist AI and Cloud is very effective at managing user experience through its AI capabilities. It helps reduce downtime by providing alerts that allow us to work directly on issues without waiting for system failures.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My advice for anybody who is considering this solution is that they do not need to complete a proof of concept."
"Mist AI and Cloud is ideal as we move towards the AI world."
"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."
"Mist AI and Cloud has integrated artificial intelligence and introduced a Marvis tool, making troubleshooting much easier compared to Cisco, Extreme, or any other vendor."
"Mist is a really good tool that provides essential AI information from an operational point of view, covering both wireless and switching."
"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."
"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."
"The most useful aspect of Mist AI and Cloud is automation capabilities."
"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, and sometimes it's a hassle to work with wires, which is why wireless is so convenient."
 

Cons

"The security needs to be improved because we have had problems with people accessing our network using the VPN."
"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."
"Overall, I am not too happy with Mist Access Points."
"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."
"The stability needs improvement because in many places in Delhi, it intermittently goes down due to temperature and noise in the switches."
"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."
"Configuration could be improved."
"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."
"Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is not cheap, but it's a reliable solution and very easy for management."
"Mist AI and Cloud is expensive."
"The custom licensing is a little bit expensive and I would rate it 7.5 out of 10."
"The solution's price is too high for the end-users. My customers pay 1,000 USD towards the licensing cost of the solution every year."
"The annual cost is a significant issue for us, and it notably contributes to the overall price. We have a customer with nearly fifty-eight access points in a multifunctional building, and while the setup was relatively simple, the yearly licensing cost is substantial. For the specific features we utilize, the licensing amounts to about forty thousand euros annually. This is not a trivial expense and significantly impacts the overall cost, making it quite high."
"I rate the pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high."
"The solution is expensive in Brazil."
"The price is about the same compared to other vendors. There is an add-on license, but it's up to you if you want to buy it or not."
