"The installation is very simple. We've limited the security feature, which I found valuable, and that allows two separate networks, one for the company and one for a guest network. During installation, it is very easy at that point to divide it."
"You can handle all of the access points at once virtually instead of manually handling each one. You're able to populate all of the information to all of the access points through the virtual controller as well. It transforms everything it a single access point, which simplifies things."

"The solution is used for public Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi solution provides internet connectivity in the public platform."
"Ruckus WAPs have excellent coverage and their beamforming means that we can cover more area with fewer WAPs."
"The solution is very user friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Ruckus Wireless is the Beamforming feature."

"There is a problem in the preferred portal access points when I'm using the portal."
"There was only ever one case in which an access point failed, but it was reintegrated. The issue was more of a matter of oversight. One part of the network had covered ten access points."
"Aruba Instant can improve by increasing the gigabit range of the switch or by adding additional management features and tools. It can be helpful."
"The restart time should be improved."
"Doesn't support enough access points in one cluster."
"If you need to access the master access point the integration between the two becomes quite expensive."
"The captive portal through Facebook doesn't work."
"They could provide a centralized system to manage switches incorporated into multiple branches."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Having support available that is more compatible with time zones in the United States would be helpful."
"Some customers have issues with the price because it's more expensive than Ubiquiti, but they can accept the cost because it's reliable and has more features."

"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see a more detailed spectrum analysis."
"The tool needs to incorporate training. Also, it needs to improve the range of coverage."
"Its interface could be a little bit more user friendly."
