Mohammed Junaid Khatib - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.

Development & Innovation Expert at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
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

"AI is the most valuable feature."
"The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."
"AI-driven automation helps implement the solution quickly."
"Mist AI and Cloud is ideal as we move towards the AI world."
"With Wi-Fi 6, we are getting better coverage and better performance."
"It's a stable product, we don't have any major issues with it."
"The cost is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"Real-time management of events and resources is excellent, making it the best in the market, which is why Juniper is highly ranked in the Gartner ratings."
"The solution has been dependable and has kept up with modern technology."
"Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features."
"When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment."
"It has all the common solutions that all other solutions provide, but it is very effective, and its cost is 60% less than Ruckus."
"Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity."
"We don't have any issues 90 percent of the time. It works fine in most situations. It has been a success story for delivering WiFi services in Romania. Our customers are happy, and I've been satisfied with Omada's performance as an engineer."
"The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."
"The initial setup is not complicated."
 

Cons

"I found the inter-functionality with other vendors a negative, and we weren't particularly happy with their sales model when it came to roll-out and implementation."
"If there's one thing I'd like to change, it's the pricing. They are quite expensive, but honestly, it's justified by the value they provide. However, for a simple Wi-Fi connectivity with basic security needs, there are alternatives in the market that offer comparable features at a more budget-friendly price."
"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."
"There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."
"There seems to be different versions of standards used in the wireless access points. In the future, it would be helpful if the solution could come up with some kind of universal standard for all devices and all access points."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"Overall, I am not too happy with Mist Access Points."
"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."
"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement."
"The quality of the hardware needs to be improved."
"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."
"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this product is approximately the same as competing products in the market."
"I rate the pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high."
"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."
"The price is not cheap, but it's a reliable solution and very easy for management."
"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 custom licensing is a little bit expensive and I would rate it 7.5 out of 10."
"Mist AI and Cloud is expensive."
"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 cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
"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."
"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
"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."
"There is no need to pay for the licensing costs since my company is in South Africa. Omada Access Points can be termed as a medium-priced product."
"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
