Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The solution is very secure."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The simplicity is great."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The most valuable features in Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN are that we were able to see all the registered users for each particular WAP, which is a big help. The roaming allows us to have continuous wireless throughout the building. The signal can carry over from one WAP to another. Which is probably the most important feature."
"It is more robust for me to deploy networks. And because of the field we are in where offices open up and others close, it helps my turnaround time to deploy these networks for the customers."
"The most valuable feature is that the solution is friendly to manage."
"Provided reliability and a good price."
"The management console is valuable."
"The captive portal feature is my favorite. It allows us to keep track of how many people are entering our client's businesses."
"The product's cloud availability feature is the most valuable for network management."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the application visibility, which is one of the main features."
"The most useful feature is how the product integrates with the Microsoft directory in the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"The product's price is competitive. It is an impressive and reliable product."
"The technical support from Extreme Networks is perfect."
"It's cloud-based and very easy to deploy."
"It provides seamless connectivity if you move around."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"It's reliable and works well. It's pretty stable."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The price could be better."
"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."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"It's performing well, really well. We don't have any issues. We only have issues if there is a lot of rogue APs in the neighborhood and that not Meraki's fault."
"I'd like better integration with security providers."
"Cisco Meraki must improve the integration between its own family of products."
"Concern when there are a number of concurrent users."
"The Meraki platform needs better on-premises management options."
"The biggest pain point is that they limit you through firewall throughput. I understand why they do it, but that really grates me. For instance, for 450 Mbps throughput, you're looking at £800 for a router, whereas if you look at the one gig connection, for some of us are lucky enough to have a gig connection, you could almost be spending £3,000 for the option to have one gig connectivity. That's one of the pain points I've got. I don't mind paying for throughput, but I should at least have the option to be able to update that throughput, maybe through extra licensing or something else. It is crazy expensive to jump through to the next one."
"Its pricing could be better."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"The ExtremeWireless WiNG Access Point on-premise is not as good as the cloud and many of my customers are switching. It is easier for my clients to manage everything from the cloud. I currently use a model of the controller that does not support any cloud functionality."
"The solution must include integrated IoT solutions on their wireless APs."
"The main area for improvement is the company's local visibility."
"The solution should offer better support."
"The troubleshooting feature for the cloud version is challenging."
"The ability to integrate with network devices from other vendors would be helpful."
"The current product line is very high-level and is well suited for enterprise-level organizations, but they need a more cost-effective solution for smaller businesses."
"They could provide different product models. Additionally, there could be a feature to manage devices."
