Overall Satisfaction with Juniper AP Series Access Points

We use Juniper AP Series Access Points with Mist across all of our sites, about 70 total. Before, we didn’t really have visibility into what was happening on our wireless network or a centralized way to manage it. Now we can quickly see where devices are failing in the connection process, which makes troubleshooting a lot easier. Deployment is simple, which helps since I’m the only network admin, and having the APs tied in with Mist switches gives us a single platform to work from. Overall, it’s cut down on downtime and reduced the amount of support overhead we used to deal with.

Pros

  • Deployment is super simple
  • Endpoint statistics/health is easy to read.
  • Coverage is great on AP33s

Cons

  • 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
  • Positive - reduce overhead to configure/deploy/manage
  • Positive - great visibilty on clients
  • Negative - expensive - handcuff's to subscription
They’re pretty easy to set up, and the dashboard makes it simple to see what’s going on with devices and troubleshoot without running around. It’s a lifesaver since I’m the only network admin. I didn’t give it a 10 because there’s no mobile app, Marvis isn’t always that helpful, and you can’t get super deep with configurations. Still, for day-to-day stuff, it’s smooth and way less stressful than some other wireless systems I’ve used.
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 company. MIST is a good middle point if you don't need all the bells and whistles.

In my experience, Juniper AP Series Access Points are a great fit for environments like ours where you’ve got multiple sites and not a huge IT staff. For example, in our retail locations I can roll out new APs quickly and know they’ll come online with the right config. If a store calls about Wi-Fi issues, I can jump into Mist and immediately see if the problem is the AP, the switch, or even the client device—it saves me from having to send someone onsite.

They also work really well in our medical offices, where reliable coverage is critical. If a doctor’s tablet is having trouble connecting, I can see exactly what stage of the connection it’s failing at and get it fixed fast. That kind of visibility has been a big change compared to what we had before. It's not appropriate for companies that want on-prem access. This is cloud access/configured/troubleshooting only. It's a subscription-based system - if you don't renew the subscription there is no way to manage the APs
