We performed a comparison between Cambium Networks Wireless LAN and Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."
"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 provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."
"The product has valuable throughput capabilities. It also has an inbuilt spectrum analyzer for stable connectivity."
"They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool."
"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."
"The product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization."
"The product's cloud availability feature is the most valuable for network management."
"The stability of the Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is very good."
"It improved the installation time."
"It makes the process much easier by providing visibility and centralized control over the network."
"The settings of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN can be very granular. You can lock down and block devices with the controls. For example, we have four different wireless settings, such as guest, employee, security, and backup. For example, the settings for the employees, if they use laptops, they're required to have certain settings, such as an antivirus installed. If they do not then Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN will not let them connect. This is very good protection because the network works on the bringing your own device(BYOD) principle. It's a BYOD environment now, and you also don't want them to bring infection into the environment because these people are connecting to the LAN via wireless connections. We have to be careful because we're managing it, we have to be very strict with regards to the rules and policies."
"The network security the solution provides is its most valuable aspect."
"The solution is very stable. It is a very manageable and secure system."
"The product's cloud controller is easy to use."
"The solution is expensive."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"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 price could be better."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"
"Not a lot of technical engineers are familiar with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. They are familiar with implementing and using other solutions such as Aruba. Therefore, Cambium Networks needs to be more visible in the marketplace."
"The solution’s technical support could be faster."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing."
"Meraki should share their viability roadmap. It is really hard to know which functionality will appear or when they will be available. It is also hard to know which features are available now but are not visible on the dashboard."
"We'd like to have better mapping to showcase low-coverage areas."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The biggest pain point is that they limit you through firewall throughput. I understand why they do it, but that really grates me. For instance, for 450 Mbps throughput, you're looking at £800 for a router, whereas if you look at the one gig connection, for some of us are lucky enough to have a gig connection, you could almost be spending £3,000 for the option to have one gig connectivity. That's one of the pain points I've got. I don't mind paying for throughput, but I should at least have the option to be able to update that throughput, maybe through extra licensing or something else. It is crazy expensive to jump through to the next one."
"We would like to see Wi-Fi 6 support for devices sold in the Middle East."
"The throughput of the switches for wireless could be improved."
"Its pricing could be better."
