Pros
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"We have found the client dashboard to be very simple to use, especially in our Meraki environment.""It's a scalable solution.""What I found most valuable in the Meraki Dashboard is straight monitoring of the different devices, as well as the ability to easily set up VPNs, for example, both Meraki client VPNs and non-Meraki VPNs for different organizations that work with my company. I also like that the tool is a really good firewall.""Easy to configure with great troubleshooting feature.""The most valuable feature is knowing the wireless and switch are healthy.""It is very stable and we have been using it for five years.""The ease-of-use and the analytics are really effective tools.""The initial setup was easy."

More Meraki Dashboard Pros →

"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features.""The most useful aspect of Mist AI and Cloud is automation capabilities.""Mist AI and Cloud is the best solution I have seen in the industry, especially from the artificial intelligence perspective, as it helps businesses.""AI-driven automation helps implement the solution quickly.""The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point.""AI is the most valuable feature.""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."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"There needs to be more improvement on the device-connected interface.""The cost of the solution is high and can be improved.""Some features could be added.""There are some issues with the NAT configuration, it is now impossible to some operations with the solution.""There is a bit of a problem when you try to log in and you don't have a fixed IP address. If you're granting access, you need to log in by using the IP address. If your administrator's IP address is not a fixed IP address and it has changed, you might need to update the changed IP address in the interface. For this, you need to log in to the interface to update the IP address. This issue might not have so much to do with Meraki interface.""It is not appropriate for large, enterprise businesses.""What we would like from the IT perspective is a lot more granular control, more visibility into the packets, into the routing, and things of that nature.""More integration would be an improvement."

More Meraki Dashboard Cons →

"There are some technical issues that may require attention""In future releases, they need to add some router models. Because currently, it supports only SSR and WAN routers. But adding other routers would be good.""Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations.""Configuration could be improved.""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.""Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed.""Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
