Reliable border connectivity with responsive support but there's room for more intuitive documentation

The documentation is somewhat lacking and not easy to navigate. There are some errors and misleading information. The general appearance of the company site is also not user-friendly for downloading firmware. Firmware updates should be more straightforward. More security features would be appreciated, however, they should be easy to understand and implement.

Has simplified infrastructure management through on-site data and control plane termination

The most valuable features of Juniper Mist Edge include the ability to terminate the data plane and the control plane on-site for privacy purposes. For those that don't want the management of their either wireless or wired infrastructure to be done in the cloud, Juniper Mist Edge helps to solve that problem. AI-generated features in Juniper Mist Edge help to optimize network operations as AI is everything. It helps to simplify the management of infrastructure, assists in root cause analysis and identification of issues and resolution of those issues, and aids in what we call premium analytics to analyze what has gone wrong or the events on-site, providing feedback that would help to make some business-critical decisions. Anomaly detection in Juniper Mist Edge is beneficial, as when talking about AI, that's just it. Anomaly detection helps when things are not going the way they were designed or planned to work. Juniper Mist Edge also helps to detect that and assists in resolving the issue.
