We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiWLM and Mist AI and Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The solution is stable."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The most valuable features are central management and the many other features available."
"With Fortinet, there is a feature called Network-In-Control. It's the AP controller that decides what the clients are going to connect to... Even though your phone sees, let's say, two APs, since the wireless controller has visibility into and access across all the APs, it knows the best AP for the client to connect to. This way, the controller makes sure that none of the APs is over-crowded, and the spectrum is used properly."
"I found that It's really good when comparing it to any other product or it is much better in terms of features that the customer requires."
"The security is a valuable feature."
"Having the single pane of glass, by using the Fortinet Security Fabric, allows us to tighten security, and more easily and quickly create additional VLANs to help protect data. Rules in the firewall mean we can protect data and systems so that, should anything go wrong, any security issue is held to an individual device."
"We're using SD-WAN at all of our locations now, which helps increase and aggregate and lower response time and improve application performance."
"The Fortinet FortiWLM system can be controlled through the cloud controller, which is convenient when the solution is not installed in our environment, as it allows us to manage the entire WiFi or access points and provides more adaptability."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWLM is the single management pane and integrated controller inside the firewall."
"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."
"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."
"AI is the most valuable feature."
"The most useful aspect of Mist AI and Cloud is automation capabilities."
"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."
"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The cost is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"I have used Cisco previously and I don't see any specific differences from Fortinet FortiWLM or other vendors."
"The guest management features need to be improved by adding automation."
"The range needs some improvement and also the stability."
"The solution should improve user capacity."
"They need to do more with their marketing. That's what's wrong with them. Nobody knows they do all this other stuff. I love the product. For an enterprise-level system, you never have to explain why you're recommending Fortinet, whereas you might have to do that if you want to use the Ubiquiti Professional or the new Netgear line, but you don't have to explain Fortinet. It has been remarkable to work with."
"When using the FortiGate as the wireless controller, you cannot have automatic user registration, which is something that they should offer."
"Technical support is very poor. We are not satisfied with the technical support because there is not any direct person from Fortinet for any troubleshooting, which we expected."
"In the next release, they could improve by adding a controller-less server, or architecture that is provided in other solutions, such as Aruba. This would be a great benefit for customers."
"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."
"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."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"There seems to be different versions of standards used in the wireless access points. In the future, it would be helpful if the solution could come up with some kind of universal standard for all devices and all access points."
"Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."
