We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence.""It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices.""The solution is stable.""You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment.""The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs.""In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the management.""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.""If you do have a FortiGate Firewall somewhere in the network, you can connect the wireless controller to that... You get 100 percent visibility from a single point... You can see everything that's connected to the FortiGate, whether it's a switch or a wireless AP or a wireless controller or any other Fortinet product.""Fortinet FortiWLM is good for tracking assets, monitoring, and overall management.""The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWLM is the single management pane and integrated controller inside the firewall.""The firewall integration is very important for the security of the connection.""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 most valuable features are the roaming profile, the mesh, and the performance."

More Fortinet FortiWLM Pros →

"The security is a valuable feature.""We just plugged it in and it worked. That just doesn't happen. We plugged it in and it worked and all 100 kids got on the test and started testing.""The most important feature is ease of use. We can simply take an access point and plug it in, then it is automatically configured for us.""The cloud-based architecture of the controller is valuable because it obviously saves on my hardware costs.​""Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless.""It is a hundred percent scalable product since its functionalities are good...It is a very stable product.""It's scalable. You don't have to configure an access point. Literally, if I needed a new one, I just take it right out of the box, go plug it into our network. It finds our Mojo network, and then it talks to the other access points that are close to it, and then it literally adopts the policies, and meshes itself in our network.""The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."

Cons
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""The price could be better.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""The solution is expensive."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The solution should improve user capacity.""The guest management features need to be improved by adding automation.""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.""The pricing for the solution is expensive and can be improved.""When using the FortiGate as the wireless controller, you cannot have automatic user registration, which is something that they should offer.""Documentation could be improved.""Licensing is the only area that I think they are below average. They need enterprise licensing, an all-encompassing license to cover all products for a company.""This solution should be easier to set up in a production environment."

More Fortinet FortiWLM Cons →

"The ​RF signalling and data analytics parts should be improved.​""Needs greater simplicity in the management portal. Currently, the Mojo portal presents different “apps” to configure the devices, create splash pages, configure security settings, and monitor the network. This can be confusing, although Mojo has made great strides in combining these into “Aware”.""The setup was complex.""The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive.""The implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex.""The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco.""Compared to other OEMs, Mojo Networks or Arista faces a little bit of coverage issues. So, if we put the same dBm, the power of the other OEMs indicates much more extensive coverage compared to Mojo or Arista.""My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."
  • "Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
  • "The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."
  • "The pricing is too high."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
  • "I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."

  • "Licensing has become easier. There is no longer a per-AP license needed on the controller."
  • "If a customer already is a FortiGate customer, the cost to go to the FortiAP is incredibly affordable, because you already have the controller."
  • "For indoor access points, there is a one-time cost, upfront, whereas outdoor access points have an annual fee."
  • "Fortinet would do something with their pricing model to attract smaller business users and eliminate the mandatory service contracts."
  • "There is a perpetual license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."
  • "Support contracts typically cost approximately $100.00 per year."
  • "To save yourself from increased setup and maintenance costs, I highly recommend undertaking a proper site survey from the beginning."
  • "Licensing costs are reasonable. There are so many different types of licenses with Fortinet, but the licensing and the 24/7/365 support are so reasonable that I automatically include it with every transaction. I never line item it without it. There are no additional costs."

  • "Of every solution we looked at, every wireless solution, Mojo was a minimum of six figures cheaper. Minimum. Most of them were double, which again is unheard of. Not only do you get all the feature benefits, like everything is there, everything just works, but at the same time, it was a no-brainer, because of the cost. It's almost like you hit the lottery."
  • "Pricing includes the planning tools, management, security, analytics, and advanced guest WiFi capabilities. It's always better to buy the longest term available for the best ROI. However, device will continue to function without valid cloud license."
  • "They have been a great price competitor against some of the other big brands, like Meraki, especially for cloud-based WiFi. However, Meraki has been more expensive. They beat Meraki on features for the WiFi, which makes them a better choice even if the price is the same."
  • "There are other solutions, like Ubiquiti, that have lowered their prices, which sometimes makes the argument to go with them. However, we do not bake in the WiFi for other vendors into our managed services, because they do not meet our standard offering."
  • "The pricing was a good value and substantially less than some of the other products that we looked at. In some cases, with some of the big names, this product was even close to half the price."
  • "The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
  • "In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."
  • "We have a term that is renewed every three years."
