Room For Improvement

Juniper Mist needs improved customization, AI, support, pricing, UI, and logistics to compete effectively and expand market reach.
Ubiquiti WLAN struggles with manageability, support, and stability, needing enhanced tools, features, and AI for improved performance.
Regarding gaps for improvement for Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points, I think pricing is a complicated issue since Cisco can drastically reduce prices, unlike Juniper.

Juniper products are still coming to market, HP offers its own access point range, which competes with Juniper's premium Mist access points intended for enterprise customers.
PRADIPJOSHI

I suggest that the AI tool in the Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points needs to be a little bit more ChatGPT-like, allowing easier communication in normal language instead of requiring specific prompts.
NoelThompson
Managing Director at Altostratus Tech (Pty) Ltd

Valuable Features

Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points offer AI-driven troubleshooting, cloud management, security, and analytics for efficient network performance optimization.
Ubiquiti WLAN offers high security, scalability, user-friendly management, cost-effectiveness, and robust performance with adaptable hybrid environment features.
I have gained valuable insights from the Mist Cloud's analytics and network insights, as it tells you a lot of things, including details about Microsoft Teams calls, identifying which calls were good or bad, and correlating that to the client's signal and which access point the client was connected to at the time.
NoelThompson
Managing Director at Altostratus Tech (Pty) Ltd
The most useful functions or features in Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points are the insights that tell you what is going on inside your Wi-Fi network, and you can easily find that on the dashboard with analytics.

Pre Sales Network at a wholesaler/distributor with 10,001+ employees
AI insights have improved wireless visibility and now proactively prevent network issues
I am somewhat uncertain about the room for improvement for Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points because I am sure that some concepts will be incorporated in the future. Recently, HP acquired Juniper, and now under the HP umbrella, we have both Aruba and Juniper Mist, which raises questions about how to compete in the market. Customers often ask me to compare them, and I have to pitch both even though they are from the same organization. Regarding gaps for improvement for Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points, I think pricing is a complicated issue since Cisco can drastically reduce prices, unlike Juniper.
