Consistently manages user capacity and satisfaction with ease

I have completed over twenty projects using Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points ( /products/juniper-mist-wireless-access-points-reviews ), and I continue to see exceptional performance in the areas of user capacity, user experience, and user satisfaction. This makes Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points highly recommended if the customer's budget allows, as the hardware performance is also very good. From my perspective, the Juniper reporting logs are clear and provide necessary data, which supports better management and diagnosis.

A product with load-balancing features that offers scalability to its users

My major problem is right now, the area which I need to cover is around 7,000 to 10,000 square feet, where even the mesh routers don't work out for me because it is a huge area to be covered. To cover huge areas, I will have to put extenders. I will have to use mesh routers with extenders to cover a whole huge area with Wi-Fi. I would like NETGEAR Insight Access Points to extend the area coverage they provide. One of the major problems I see is that when you try to use NETGEAR Insight Access Points, the huge amount of options that are there can only be handled by a person who is experienced or knows the process. So there should be a guide that walks anyone through different options and different things about how to go work with the UI.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For the most part, it does what it's supposed to do, and I like it. It's a great product."

"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."

"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."

"The product is quite user-friendly and easy to deploy, so one should definitely consider buying it."

"Mist AI is a very powerful feature. Juniper is the only company that has introduced AI into networking."

"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."

"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."

"The solution is very secure."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros

"The metrics demonstrate that NETGEAR really does a good job of balancing the load between the various access points on the networks and this results in an elimination of downtime."

"The product's deployment is straightforward."

"Our company sometimes uses the solution's technical support, and we have seen that they sort out our general problems quickly."

"The internet connectivity is good."

"From the WiFi aspect, it's very intuitive and easy to use. The solution enables me to manage my entire WiFi from anywhere in the world..."

"I now have the ability to remote access my network. That works extremely well. I can access it from any place. I don't need to be physically at the device. This saves me on time and travel."

"The initial setup of NETGEAR Insight Access Points was straightforward."

"We use NETGEAR's Insight management solution to do off-property controls. It is user-friendly and provides network management, monitoring, and service deployment across multiple remote and local sites. That means I don't have to be physically at a location to do things if I want to make any changes to the network. It saves time and money."

Cons

"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."

"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."

"Juniper should make the products more affordable."

"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."

"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."

"The solution is expensive."

"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."

"Though certain security features are integrated into the product, my company has to always look forward to tightening certain security functionalities in the solution."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

"My major problem is right now, the area which I need to cover is around 7,000 to 10,000 square feet...I would like NETGEAR Insight Access Points to extend the area coverage they provide."

"While the data throughput does provide us with full insight into data being used, we find that it's not very accurate."

"The product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward."

"The registration is annoying. I have to go back to NETGEAR and log tickets. Access points and router registration are something that they need to address in Insight. They need to fix the bug of getting the devices activated and enrolled in Insight without fighting with them. I have probably done about six of these in the last month. You get to see patterns."

"A con is the backend system which is very, very slow."

"Software-wise, they need to provide the ability to kick users out. If multiple users are abusing the system or the network, I should be able to block them for a time and, when I need to unblock them, I should be able to do so by using their MAC ID. That feature might already be there and I just don't know about it."

"The biggest issue I've had is that it works very well with the WiFi, but it does not offer any assistance at all with the routers. You can't control them or manage them at all. As soon as you want to use anything on the network side—because I have multiple 28-port switches—you can't manage them using this app."

"The pricing and standard connectivity can be further improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."

"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."

"If a customer has a budget of around five lakhs in Indian currency, they can afford Juniper products."

"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."

"I rate the product price as a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is expensive. It is a reasonably priced tool."

"I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."

"The pricing is too high."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pricing and cost advice

"It wasn't much more than 100 dollars a year. For the devices that we have, the pricing was pretty fair."

"Price-wise, it is a little too high, about $20 higher than what it should be, but it's worth it. It's cheaper than Cisco's access point, but the products are not apples to apples."

"I think that the price of the product is reasonable."

"My company does not need to pay anything related to the solution's licensing costs."

"We have some basic models they give without a license."

"I can source the stuff pretty quickly wherever I go through the distributor. There is pricing available at NETGEAR if you can spend between $2,000 and $5,000 on a solution. So, there is special pricing that they can help with. The vendor's reps are very responsive. They have a good channel system."

"Their pricing is perfect for smaller businesses who are money and budget conscious. There are a lot of other solutions out there that are two to three times more expensive."

"It is an expensive solution."
