This enables us to be proactive in providing support and ensures smooth operations for our clients."
"The after-sales services are helpful."
"It offers features that are essential for an efficient and high-performance wireless LAN deployment, where capacity, coverage, and quality are optimized, and frequency bands are selected based on the specific needs of the network."
"It is a stable and secure platform."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months."

"Comprehensive availability and performance of monitoring and reporting for WISP network monitor."
"The most valuable feature is that Ruckus offers better coverage."
"The solution provides superior coverage."
"Very reliable."
"Its high capacity is the most valuable. It is also very stable. It is way more stable than other platforms."
"The most valuable feature for me is reliability."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"We would like this product to have more information data sheets available. At present we cannot easily access details around the full capability of a piece of equipment."
"The product pricing needs improvement."
"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."
"The solution’s technical support could be faster."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The platform's cost needs improvement."
"The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the configuration options for point-to-point setups directly from the cloud management interface. Currently, the process feels a bit clunky—you monitor the unit in the cloud but need to make configuration changes by editing a text file, then downloading it back to the unit. This method can be error-prone, as even a small mistake in the text file could disrupt the unit's configuration."
"The solution needs to have some sort of security offering, like a firewall, for example."
"One area where Ruckus Wireless could improve is its technical support."
"One complaint that we have is the lack of cloud-based management."
"We use this solution in a certain way, and it works very well. So, I don't expect it to do a lot more, but to do what it's doing probably better or faster. But it's not a problem with the features; it's more the operations."
"The switching could be improved. The active component requires a data center. Cisco and HPE have a complete solution for data centers. Ruckus has a core solution, but the data center aspect needs to be improved."
"The software should be made more stable."
"The cost could be slightly improved. It's not on the low end, and it's not in the high end. It's in that middle area, which can be a deciding factor between someone going with this solution versus another one."
"Ruckus is a bad solution in general. It's pretty old and outdated."
