"It works well. It is reliable."
"I rate the support an eight out of ten since it is good."
"I like the solution's ability to add multiple SSIDs on different levels such as enterprise and guest networks."
"The initial setup of Aruba Networks Wireless WAN can be done quickly, and everything functions smoothly."
"What I like best about Ruckus Wireless WAN is easy administration. After installation, you'll benefit from how easy it is to administer the product. I also like that the product can cover the whole area with just a few endpoints."
"The feature I like most, is the product activity."
"The performance of this solution is amazing in terms of radiofrequency technology."
"Tech support is good."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the size of the outdoor access points. It's great and you can disguise them quite well."
"Provides great coverage and performance."
"The stability provided is very nice."
"Its build quality is good and quite robust."
"The solution should be cheaper."
"Device integration has room for improvement in Aruba Networks Wireless WAN."
"Right now, the integration between the support that you are getting from Hewlett-Packard, which is the parent company, and Aruba, they're not meshing together."
"From the commercial-side the pricing side is fine but in other aspects, it could be lowered."
"If they provided more updates that would be ideal."
"It would be better for customers if Aruba provided more license options, like 5-year licenses"
"The issue is that we are unable to update it because we lack the necessary permissions. We set up the website, but we don't have permission to download the software."
"In a meshed environment, the handoff between access points is sometimes not smooth when users are mobile. For example, a connection is occasionally interrupted when a user takes their laptop from the gym to the cafeteria."
"I would like to see the billing system improved by adding a billing system integration."
"Pricing could be improved in Ruckus Wireless WAN because obviously, everybody wants things to become cheaper. Another room for improvement in the product is from a delivery perspective, particularly the heavy delivery delays because of the chip shortage that a lot of manufacturers have to deal with. The chip shortage is not coming to an end, but Ruckus Networks has to make a plan because the ETA has slipped out from the average of three months on switches to fourteen months, which is very, very rough on the industry at the moment. Ruckus Wireless WAN could lose business to Chinese competitors, for example, HTC has a good wireless solution that I haven't tested yet, other than on POC, and it works great. I haven't yet experienced the HTC wireless solution in large deployments, so you never know how it's going to go, but HTC has managed to circumvent the chip shortage, so the ETA provided by HTC is much more preferred than the ETAs provided by Ruckus Networks, Cisco, and Aruba products."
"The documentation they do have is very difficult to understand. There should be some scenarios, deployments, complications, or techniques to follow. They are inadequate in that regard, and the documentation needs to be greatly improved."
"It would be nice to some analytical features built into this solution."
"Technical support is something that needs to be improved."
"The GUI interface of Ruckus Wireless WAN could be more usable, especially the drag-and-drop feature."
"I would like to see built-in Wi-Fi."
"I would like to see IoT device support available with WiFi six. IoT is used by all businesses. They are now using IoT devices. It is required."
