Product Description
Juniper Mist™ Premium Analytics is an advanced, cloud-based analytics service that provides enterprises with end-to-end network observability. IT and line-of-business users can gain unique networking and location insights based on any combination of Juniper Mist AI-driven datasets. Simple dashboards make it easy to:
- Specify criteria and filters
- Identify issues and trends
- Generate, schedule, and email customized reports
Premium Analytics is the only analytics service of its kind that stores up to 13 months (or more) of data. This feature extends observability of historical data beyond the 30 days available with the standard Juniper Mist analytics service, enabling users to perform long-term historical time series analyses of network, app, visitor, and employee behavior to enhance business decision making.
Premium Analytics helps IT professionals obtain insights across their entire network—wired, wireless, and WAN—to aid in planning their IT infrastructure, manage resources, gain insights into security events, and improve IT operations. Professionals in a range of vertical markets—including retail, healthcare, education, and hospitality—can use Premium Analytics to analyze long‑term trends, visitor behavior, and zone movement. Additionally, Premium Analytics provides facilities managers with insights to help them optimize space and manage assets and occupancy.

Features and Benefits
Wireless, Wired, and WAN Network Insights
To ensure that IT assets and controls meet the business expectations of your digital business, end-to-end network visibility, continuous monitoring, and actionable insights are critical. This involves not only identifying network infrastructure misconfigurations and issues, but also addressing deficiencies impacting applications, end users, and client devices.
With the Premium Analytics service, networking teams gain insights from client to cloud, allowing them to effectively identify and solve sub-par experiences. They can also use client and traffic utilization data for better planning, resource management, and for improving public safety (see Table 1). Sample networking use cases include:
- Monitoring and behavior reports for applications, traffic, and clients
- Monitoring historic and average service-level expectations (SLEs) across wired, wireless, and WAN domains
- WAN visibility for link and application quality of experience
- Ingestion and reporting from Juniper and third‑party network devices (not managed by Juniper Mist Cloud architecture)
- Insights on device OS and device manufacturers
- Traffic metrics on the basis of service set identifier (SSID), switch interfaces, or WAN zones
- Client access and authentication events, statistics, and trends
- Complete visibility into security events on the network
Gain Complete Visibility into Security and Network Access Events
In the world of security, having a clear view of what's happening on the network is essential to prevent attackers and other threats from infiltrating the network. Juniper Mist Premium Analytics’ Security Assurance gives organizations the security insights they need with visibility into security and network access events within the Juniper Mist dashboard.
- Security Assurance helps security operations teams identify and respond to potential threats, reducing security risks and improving the organization's overall security posture.
- Access Assurance insights dashboards help network managers see connection trends and statistics for clients as well as access points (APs) and switches over time.
Juniper enables the integration of network and security domain—and provides an industry‑first persona‑based workflow response system—to enhance the user experience. Now, organizations can configure their security capabilities directly on the Juniper Networks SSR Series Routers and/or the Juniper Networks SRX Series Firewalls through the Juniper Mist framework.
With the help of these integrated dashboards, network operations and security teams can easily detect and highlight security events and connection issues. It effectively addresses threats and suggests audit actions to improve operational workflows. Benefits include:
- Accelerating the time to mitigate threats
- Improved agility
- Reducing operational costs by saving time and mitigating potential damage

Line of Business Insights
Business insights, including customer and employee engagement, occupancy analysis, and proximity tracing, have become top priorities for digital transformation initiatives, especially in hybrid workforce environments. Whether analyzing retail traffic flows, space occupancy and utilization in the enterprise, optimizing staff operations, or conducting real-time reporting of congested areas, operations and real estate management teams can benefit from network data insights to drive decisions around staffing, product placement, real estate planning, and proximity tracing.
Premium Analytics combines user engagement and asset visibility location services built into the Juniper AI‑Native Networking Platform with services from technology partners to deliver fast access to business insights supporting requested analytics about customers and guests.
Enterprises and retailers that segment end users and subscribe to the user engagement or asset visibility service can gain clear insights about areas frequently visited by customers. For retailers, this information helps drive more interactions with associates and customers, ultimately leading to higher basket sizes. For other enterprises, these insights can enhance workspace utilization and improve employee engagement. Retailers can also use the digital platform to support industry best practices for cross-selling and omnichannel marketing and sales initiatives.
Real estate management teams can also leverage occupancy analytics from Premium Analytics to optimize their building and real estate portfolio management (see Table 4). Using long‑term occupancy data, they can gain insights into how spaces are utilized, identifying peak usage times and underutilized areas. This enables more efficient allocation of resources, such as heating, cooling, and lighting, reducing operational costs and enhancing sustainability efforts.
Additionally, data-driven insights into tenant behavior and preferences can inform more strategic decisions regarding space renovations, reconfigurations and overall building use. By leveraging analytics, real estate managers can create smarter, more responsive, and cost-effective building environments.
Popular business analytics use cases include:
- Visitor segmentation and trends with dynamic categorizations
- Unique visitor trends with popular motion flows for user journey mapping and proximity tracing
