Mist has more features than meraki in regards to wireless management. Adding devices is still simple and licensing is much easier to undertsf

I've used a variety of other APs and WLAN systems. Juniper provides an outstanding product and their support is top notch. The Mist portal is intuitive for most admins that have an intermediate understanding of WLANs. The product is very reliable, and they provide value in …

We deploy HPE Juniper Access Points in the busy busy busy areas. The Ruckus devices are just in for the long haul because that's what we had to start with. As they die off we would go HPE Juniper Access Points.

Meraki and Juniper both utilize cloud-based controllers. This enables easier configuration without requiring local controller hardware. Both Meraki and Juniper utilize AI to help manage their devices and make adjustments to keep the system running at optimal performance. …

I say Meraki UI's is more friendly. Also, their layer 7 visibility is a lot better. You can get more details about the devices on Meraki's UI vs MIST UI. Meraki is more expensive though. Omada is entry for SMB. Its a nice system but buggy. I would not go back to Omada for our …

I prefer Juniper. Configuring the extreme environment was odd and clunky. Three years after we deployed Extreme I got informed the virtual controller we were using was end of life. The APs were still good, just the controller was end of life. I had to deploy a new virtual …

Chose HPE Juniper Access Points
Much easier to manage them and configure them. When we used Aruba central to manage the newer AP's, it seemed a little clunky and didn't always like the placement or what port it was connected to. Troubleshooting Juniper AP's is much easier with Mist over using Aruba Central. …

Juniper and the Mist console are far superior to access points and admin consoles I have worked with in the past. You can utilize the Mist effectively even if you don't have a background in networking or a lot of experience early on without a real learning curve. So far, they …

In a high-density K-12 Deployment, Juniper outperforms most vendors. Hardware is superior in terms of durability, appearance, and functionality. The AI Cloud Controller is 2nd to none in monitoring performance and self-diagnostics. AP tools enable easy identification, testing, and troubleshooting of APs. Overall, when switching from a Cisco Meraki to Juniper, there is no comparison. We immediately saw a performance and reliability improvement.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • I wish there was a mobile app that allows configuration and health status checks
  • The MIST UI could use some improvements - some things take more than 1 click to access
  • Marvis doesn't impress me. I ask it questions and sometimes it doesn't respond or understand

Usability

It is a well rounded AP that is easy to connect, has great insights in to who is connecting or why did they disconnect or fail to connect. I like being able to see the switch and port number an AP is connected to. This is helpful especially when they are connected to other brands of switches

I've used a variety of other APs and WLAN systems. Juniper provides an outstanding product and their support is top notch. The Mist portal is intuitive for most admins that have an intermediate understanding of WLANs. The product is very reliable, and they provide value in line with the cost of the product and service. Ultimately, it really depends on what you need. Want something low cost, but don't require 24/7 support? Unifi probably suits you. Have a small team, need something beginner friendly? Meraki is the way to go. Do you have unique deployment needs, and are already in the Juniper ecosystem? Juniper APs make sense for you.
