The Juniper AP Series Access Points work in conjunction with the Juniper Mist Cloud Architecture and Mist AI to collect and analyze metadata in near real-time from all wireless clients. This is to enable rapid problem detection and root cause identification with predictive recommendations and proactive correction realizing the self-driving network.

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 …

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 …

The Mist portal-controlled Juniper APs are great in an environment where clients are relatively stationary. Coverage is fantastic, and throughput is really good. I would be more concerned about placing these in a distribution-type warehouse where clients frequently roam between APs. While I've not had any issues, I could see where some APs might become sticky due to the cloud-controlled nature. In my experience, a local controller would be better suited to environments like that. I'm also concerned that support and quality may suffer due to the HPE merger.

We used a reseller to help set up and initially manage the Juniper APs. Templates are set up and deployed to sites, and at first, it may seem complicated, with a slight learning curve. Once created and deployed, the overall management and usability are great. In summary, the initial setup takes some advanced knowledge of the Cloud Dashboard setup with templates. After that, it's easy to use and manage moving forward.
