"Configurations are highly customizable and we could tune easily to suit our Wi-Fi requirements."
"I can manage the network through a cell phone, which is a plus from my side. I am also able to visualize the network.

"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."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The ability to integrate with network devices from other vendors would be helpful."
"The user interface of ExtremeWireless could be better. It is not user-friendly."
"The current product line is very high-level and is well suited for enterprise-level organizations, but they need a more cost-effective solution for smaller businesses."
"The ExtremeWireless WiNG Access Point on-premise is not as good as the cloud and many of my customers are switching. It is easier for my clients to manage everything from the cloud. I currently use a model of the controller that does not support any cloud functionality."
"The product must be provided at a cheaper price."
"ExtremeWireless should fix some general bugs and make the user interface more user-friendly."
"The troubleshooting feature for the cloud version is challenging."
"They could provide different product models. Additionally, there could be a feature to manage devices."
"If the system could directly download and update, that would be much easier. It could be more automated."
"The pricing of the product can be a bit expensive. They should work on making pricing more competitive."
"Having support available that is more compatible with time zones in the United States would be helpful."
"They have so many products that there are so many different part numbers for the US and other countries. That means it's easy to make a mistake with the licensing. You have to have somebody knowledgeable on the other end with the licensing. If you make one mistake, it can be a $2,000 mistake."
"The cloud system from Ruckus is not mature enough just yet."
"Its pricing and licensing can be improved. Its UI can also be more user-friendly. Currently, in the Unleashed mode, the information that you have about the switches that you add to the controller is quite limited. I would like more information regarding switches. In this mode, an access point acts as a controller, so you don't need a controller. It is for deployments with less than 125 access points, and you can use an access point as a controller."
"The solution could include more security features."
"Sometimes doing mass changes on their products can be challenging."
