Cons
"The price could be better.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""The solution is expensive.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device.""When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved.""If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process.""The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates.""The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far.""The solution should improve stability.""I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution.""During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."

More Ubiquiti WLAN Cons →

"The solution can be scaled but it has limitations from my experience.""If a client device had issues with authentication due to out of date browser or similar difficulties, it would be nice to have the ability to migrate the client onto the portal via one click.""I don't think they're available at the best price.""Inability to import a user with one click.""The price of this solution needs to reviewed, as it is currently high enough to deter customers from trying it.""One of the things is if you buy it with a certain subscription, you can't easily change the subscription level."
