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.

User-friendly, easy to install, and scalable

Peplink SpeedFusion needs a thin rail model for industrial solutions. The stability has room for improvement. Peplink SpeedFusion needs to have a heavy-duty heat sink on the case to perform better. Generally, what I found is that devices that have a heat sink on a case or, more weight on a case to absorb the heat, perform a little better. I get some areas where I'm right at the hundred and fifty degrees. So I've had a few failures not many, but I found more failures than a Cisco ISO eleven or a Moxa router. Those solutions have more mass to absorb the heat. Most failures have a lot to do with the case. That's why a lot of people have a hard time pushing Peplink SpeedFusion, and they want to move to Cradlepoint because they have a much more ruggedized case.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Juniper Mist Edge provides better support for medium-sized businesses."

"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."

"Juniper Mist Edge is valuable for its ability to troubleshoot and configure more things compared to Meraki."

"Juniper's technical support is highly responsive."

"Juniper is a remote and AI-enhanced product."

"The visibility of the information that's available about APs through their cloud portal and some of the AI features are most valuable."

"The most valuable aspect of Mist Edge lies in its ability to provide comprehensive visibility into all network packets."

"It is a very stable product."

"In the Philippines, VPN usage may not be widely known, but we leverage VPN effectively within my organization. I've shared our in-house systems with other district offices, as I cover fifteen municipalities and cater to the entire province. This platform is a valuable tool for us, enabling collaborative work, and allowing us to update our services remotely."

"The SpeedFusion feature is good. It allowed us to move away from IPsec between the sites. It is also a really easy product to deploy."

"The most valuable feature is the virtual VPN concentrator."

"Our customers find it to be an interesting and tempting solution."

"The SpeedFusion feature is the most valuable."

"The valuable feature is that, after reading about its capabilities and using it for a while, Peplink SpeedFusion employs eight technologies within its SD-WAN profile, addressing issues like packet loss and latency. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support team gives quick response and efficient local support."

Cons

"Juniper Mist Edge can sometimes have a delay in information updating, which could be improved."

"Juniper Mist Edge can sometimes have a delay in information updating."

"I experience a lot of stability issues, so the rating is eight out of ten."

"The product needs an update, particularly in price, as it deters many customers, including myself, from using it despite its convenience and effectiveness."

"I think there is a need to improve the virtual edition or the virtual platform of Juniper Mist Edge, as I know that it was discontinued."

"The one area that we're specifically looking into is their outdoor APs. The development of their outdoor APs is lagging as compared to their internal APs."

"I would like to see improvements in ensuring government compliance for Mist Edge."

"Its pricing is the main issue. The pricing could be improved. I would like to see an outbound policy based on the application. It is a very good feature, and most of the customers are looking for that. They can also include stronger firewall features. This would help the customers in choosing this product as the only device for the SD network."

"Their hardware support isn't the greatest. We've had one unit go down, and it took a while for them to replace it. It was in the Caribbeans, so it might be a location-related issue."

"There is room for improvement in enhancing security features, such as incorporating intrusion detection blocking capabilities and integrating artificial intelligence to bolster security aspects on the device."

"The stability has room for improvement."

"I believe there could be some enhancements in the enterprise segment, offering greater options or something similar."

"The product needs to aggregate the bandwidth of different ISPs. It needs to improve scalability as well."

"They don't have next generation firewall, UTM, like the other competitors."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe we're getting some good discounts. We're paying less than $500 per AP. I don't know the annual maintenance cost."

"The cost is in the middle, a five out of ten."

"It's not cheap, but it is highly competitive."

"It has lifetime licensing. Its pricing is high for most of the markets."

"Perpetual licensing, which is good for customers that don't want any annual or subscription based license."

"I rate Peplink SpeedFusion's pricing an eight out of ten."

"Its licensing fee is on a yearly basis. For the price, it is actually pretty good value."
