Find out what your peers are saying about HPE Aruba Networking, Cisco, Ruckus and others in Wireless LAN."The simplicity is great."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."
"Regarding features, the solution seems to be very intuitive."
"Multi PSK (Pre-shared Key) is a very good feature in the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable aspect is that they operate on small microservices, offering numerous open APIs that enhance the value of our Wi-Fi network. This flexibility allows us to optimize various aspects such as workforce planning and occupancy management. The platform is highly open in the market, providing robust APIs for seamless integration with other tools. Currently, we leverage these capabilities at a building site, incorporating IoT sensors to gather data. The collected data is stored in a centralized location, and we plan to use AI for analysis. This analysis will include insights on peak activity times, humidity levels, temperature variations, and other relevant metrics within the building."
"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."
"The cost is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."
"AI-driven automation helps implement the solution quickly."
"The authentication links into our standard Active Directory authentication, which is very good."
"The sensors and probes are great, nice and lightweight, they don't take up too many resources on the system. We just deploy them out and they start reporting instantly."
"I really love the activity library. It gives the flexibility to discover data and metrics about my interface and data server."
"The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are bandwidth utilization, user-friendliness, all past report simple retrievals, and timeout features. Additionally, if the solution does go down it is simple to bring it back."
"Technical support has been very helpful so far."
"It gives me a live view of the traffic on the WAN."
"It is nice to have one place where all the information is right there in front of us."
"It improves the status of my infrastructure, from networking devices to real-time machines."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"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."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The price could be better."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
"Configuration could be improved."
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us."
"There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
"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."
"There seems to be a big jump from the basic scan to the really thorough scan. There is a big jump in the quantity of sensors it uses for certain things. One minute you might get ten and then the next you get 200. There seems to be a big jump between the two at times."
"Performance-wise, PRTG Network Monitor still needs improvement because a large number of SNMPv3 queries reduces tool performance."
"We have had a few issues with the web elements, as far as the dashboard. With the dashboard, it has to be manually refreshed. Occasionally, we reboot the server, or at least web services, due to the web aspect."
"In our organization, we encounter performance issues with our PRTG probe service. I saw documentation from the vendor or Paessler mentioning that there are limitations for WMI sensors. Other than that, we are okay with PRTG."
"I would like to see them take their graphing tools and convert them into a collector so that we can point telemetry to them"
"We run it in a cluster, so we have two that run together. The cluster behind it is sketchy at times."
"The dashboarding definitely needs improvement."
"I would like to see more updates available in this solution."
