Has improved troubleshooting efficiency with AI-driven insights but requires a simpler user interface
Mist AI and Cloud has integrated artificial intelligence and introduced a Marvis tool, making troubleshooting much easier compared to Cisco, Extreme, or any other vendor. The Marvis tool includes Marvis Action and Marvis Mini. In Marvis Mini, you can enter the MAC address, site name, or device name to get complete details of any issues the device is facing. If you enter the MAC address of a device, it will show the types of issues such as roaming, authentication, or IP address problems. This eliminates the need to manually search for errors on the controller. The troubleshooting has been significantly simplified through Marvis Mini, which is integrated with AI. Additionally, Marvis Action helps with alerting and monitoring, showing how many devices are down and what kinds of connectivity, DHCP, or authentication issues exist, providing alerts without the need to manually monitor all devices. Mist AI and Cloud is very effective at managing user experience through its AI capabilities. It helps reduce downtime by providing alerts that allow us to work directly on issues without waiting for system failures.

They have good specs, and the price is lower than competing solutions
Omada could add some API integrations that would help with our automated solution. We're trying to integrate, and we're having some issues because some of the calls are not there. The API still needs some development. They could also enhance the reporting capabilities. At the same time, Omada's reporting has improved considerably in the latest version. That was an issue for us, but now it seems okay. More carrier-grade integrations should be available on Omada access points in the future. They could also add a hot spot and maybe a mobile upload solution. I still have issues from time to time when switching access points. I'm still connected to the SSID, but my signal drops when I switch from 5 Ghz to 2.4 Ghz. I'm not switched to the other access point that is closer to me. I should have been switched automatically to the other access point. Occasionally, the handoff doesn't work. I have tried this with WiFi 6, and it worked fine, so I think they may have resolved this issue in the latest versions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Mist is a really good tool that provides essential AI information from an operational point of view, covering both wireless and switching."
"The AI deployment process involves adding access points and placing them in the designated area. The AI system automatically adjusts channel selection and transmission power without any issues with stability or throughput. It has improved network performance."
"The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."
"The tool's best part is the GUI. It is user-friendly and fast due to AI features. The solution can help you fix things with AI, which is impressive."
"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."
"The most useful aspect of Mist AI and Cloud is automation capabilities."
"Mist AI and Cloud has integrated artificial intelligence and introduced a Marvis tool, making troubleshooting much easier compared to Cisco, Extreme, or any other vendor."
"Omada is easy to manage, has cloud management features, and is easy to set up."
"It has all the common solutions that all other solutions provide, but it is very effective, and its cost is 60% less than Ruckus."
"The initial setup is not complicated."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The performance and availability of Omada Access Points have met our business needs, particularly in improving network control and facilitating direct access for developers to branch services."
"We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based management option, as it is very convenient to manage and this product is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to deploy and reliable."
 

Cons

"The solution lacks documentation."
"The support needs improvement. Since the merger or integration between Mist AI and Cloud and HP, it has affected service quality negatively."
"The area for improvement is that Juniper is not as market dominant as Cisco, so they should focus on making their GUI more user-friendly, as it is currently a bit complex and users may not fully understand the available features."
"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."
"The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us."
"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."
"There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."
"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."
"It is quite difficult to get support from TP-Link. They should provide more support to their clients."
"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."
"Omada could add some API integrations that would help with our automated solution. We're trying to integrate, and we're having some issues because some of the calls are not there. The API still needs some development."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"The price of the solution is an area requiring improvement since I want the solution to be made available at a cheaper price than its current market price."
"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
"Aruba has better scaling capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The annual cost is a significant issue for us, and it notably contributes to the overall price. We have a customer with nearly fifty-eight access points in a multifunctional building, and while the setup was relatively simple, the yearly licensing cost is substantial. For the specific features we utilize, the licensing amounts to about forty thousand euros annually. This is not a trivial expense and significantly impacts the overall cost, making it quite high."
"Mist AI and Cloud is expensive."
"The price of this product is approximately the same as competing products in the market."
"The solution's price is too high for the end-users. My customers pay 1,000 USD towards the licensing cost of the solution every year."
"The price is about the same compared to other vendors. There is an add-on license, but it's up to you if you want to buy it or not."
"The price of Mist AI and Cloud is approximately 20 percent less than competitors, such as Aruba and Cisco. However, Cisco has a lifetime warranty for its solutions."
"The custom licensing is a little bit expensive and I would rate it 7.5 out of 10."
"The price is not cheap, but it's a reliable solution and very easy for management."
"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
"The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."
"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
"The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
"On a scale of one to ten for pricing, with one being cheap and ten being expensive, I would rate Omada Access Points at a one for its cost-effectiveness."
"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
