"It is easy to deploy, and it is not that complicated. There are a lot of systems that are very complicated, and they require a special kind of training. Their response is also very slow, especially with the Chinese vendors, but with Cambium, we have not faced any issues. Everything is going well in terms of cooperation from Cambium. We are happy with them, their services, their cooperation, and their quick response. They are just amazing."
"It eliminates the need for additional controllers, reducing costs."
"It is a good product for cloud management."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of Cambium Networks Wireless WAN are cloud management and links."
"The initial setup of Cambium is straightforward."
"The solution's coverage range is good, it is easy to use, and deployment is very easy and user-friendly."
"Our university has experienced a positive return on investment, and I believe Cisco Wireless WAN will continue to benefit us for at least a decade."
"The most valuable features are user and handling capacity, indoor and outdoor access points and antennas, and the inbuilt intrusion prevention system."
"Provides good visibility and insights into what is happening."
"The initial setup is straightforward, and you need to spend around six to 10 weeks to set up one controller."
"The solution offers very good performance, especially for iPhones."
"I also like that now you can add a cellular connection to the Cisco router. So, if your operator is down, you can now still have one connection in the office with the cellular module."
"The devices are all of good quality."
"The most valuable features are CleanAir, Rogue Detection, and the auto-calculation of RF."
"It has voucher generation. These vouchers are provided to the customers. It would be great if there is a possibility to integrate these vouchers with the system that vendors use to print the receipts. For example, if you go to Starbucks, they provide you a receipt, and in that receipt, you have the code for the Wi-Fi network. I would like some kind of integration or API that can be integrated into any other system for generating such receipts. It would be a really nice feature. It has the cnMaestro portal that normally an integrator sets up. When you deploy this solution to a user, rather than generating a Cambium account, I would like to share this console with the users so that they can at least see the stability of the network and not necessarily trust what I said. It also allows the customers in visualizing the way that they are connecting and the way the network is behaving. I have been in touch with the Cambium team for these features, but they don't yet have the final answer. It is kind of hard to get these solutions immediately. It is a bit challenging to bring these devices to Lima, Peru, or to get Cambium from the distributors. They need to import these devices."
"The modulation could be optimized for better performance, and the configuration should be made adaptive to ensure dynamic adjustments as needed."
"The solution's price could be better."
"They could enhance the product's security features, particularly in analyzing and protecting against potential threats."
"If someone wants to go to the location-based portal of the product, like the one available in Meraki, it would not be possible, and it is an area that needs improvement."
"There is no good technical support available for Cambium Networks Wireless WAN."
"The Cambium user interface and configuration should be improved."
"I think this product could be improved if It were SMS based. If I have a visitor in my office, I'd like to be able to send them the wireless password as a message via SMS, so I don't have to give it out."
"Cisco Firewall cannot recognize some applications and that makes dealing with policies difficult. Even when we whitelist, it does not work well."
"The price could be better."
"We would like to have the lead times improved."
"The price could be better."
"Technical support could be more helpful."
"The solution could be more stable."
"We did have issues with the product that made us concerned about the overall stability."
