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."The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The simplicity is great."
"The cloud-based management provided by Cambium Networks is particularly valuable to us, as it allows us to efficiently manage Wi-Fi, point-to-point connections, firewalls, and switches across various locations from a centralized platform. This enables us to be proactive in providing support and ensures smooth operations for our clients."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."
"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."
"The product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization."
"The management console is valuable."
"The monitoring device enables you to see the network health."
"Great architecturally based dashboard and the solution is accessible from anywhere."
"The most valuable feature is that the solution is friendly to manage."
"Cisco Meraki is HIPAA compliant."
"The visibility of the site is most useful."
"I have found it to be stable."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the single pane of glass management and reliability."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The solution is expensive."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing."
"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’s technical support could be faster."
"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 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."
"What could be improved in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is its efficiency in large areas because we noticed that there's a need to increase the APs in large rooms or spaces for the Wi-Fi to be more efficient. Another area for improvement in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is bandwidth management. This is a feature that Meraki has that allows you to control user bandwidth, so my company has a pilot project to test Meraki Wireless LAN. Bandwidth control is an additional feature I'd like to see in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN as that would make the solution better."
"The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"
"The platform's cost needs improvement."
"Currently, only a limited number of clients can connect to these devices."
"Currently, with Meraki, a controller is required to direct guest and user traffic to the internet. Improvement is needed in the portal for enhanced visibility into activities. Additionally, addressing multiple bugs, especially those arising with new releases, is crucial to ensure system stability."
"It would be nice to have licensing that stays in place while the system is being renovated or changed."
"The annual maintenance is something that needs to be changed."
"It would be better if they enable full integration with Cisco's cloud-based network in the next release."
"Our only concern at this stage is how it's licensed."
"Cisco offers pretty expensive devices."
"We would like to see Wi-Fi 6 support for devices sold in the Middle East."
