As far as the solution goes, the coverage is usually very comprehensive."
"The integration with Cisco ISE is good, and together we use them to provide services."
"The LAN network conductivity is good."
"It gave us the ability to view wireless traffic, unwanted devices on the network, and how they affected overall network performance."
"The initial setup was quite easy. We have a very good relationship with our integrator and our integrator has a good relationship with Cisco. The integrator that installs Cisco is quite knowledgeable about the technology. They are trained and have a good relationship with their tech. We cannot be experts in each domain and we have to be supported by an integrator."

"The most useful aspect of Mist AI and Cloud is automation capabilities."
"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."
"If you compare wired versus wireless, it's convenient. You don't need to have one place for connectivity. You can move around and it's easier. Sometimes it's a hassle to work with wires, which is why wireless is so convenient."
"Ability to control the access points by groups."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"Sometimes, in some rooms the signal could be a bit better, a little stronger."
"The classic Cisco wireless interface is difficult for users to learn."
"The product’s interface must be improved."
"The solution could be more stable."
"The solution is stable but it could be improved. However, this could be because there are not enough APs."
"In this part of the world, support is the weak side of this solution."
"Even though the tool offers a cloud-based central management option, the product needs to work on improving the security part a bit since it is an area of concern."
"There needs to be an access point that is compact and more suitable for small and medium-sized businesses."
"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."
"The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently."
"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."
"There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."
"Regarding opportunities for improvement in Mist, it is notable for its robust cloud portal and integration of artificial intelligence into various services, creating a highly efficient environment for work. However, a drawback lies in the cost associated with its WiFi offerings. With a pricing range of twelve hundred to fifteen hundred dollars for a single Access Point, exclusive of the subscription, it is acknowledged as a relatively expensive solution in the realm of WiFi services. Despite this drawback, the positive attributes of Mist make it a noteworthy option."
"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."
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."
