We performed a comparison between Cambium Networks Wireless LAN and Ruckus Wireless 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 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 most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The solution is very secure."
"The solution is stable."
"The simplicity is great."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"What I like best about Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is that it's easy to configure, has no licensing hassle, and is a controller-based solution."
"They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool."
"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."
"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."
"The after-sales services are helpful."
"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."
"Ruckus Wireless is more of a plain Wi-Fi solution where it does the basic job well. Additionally, it has good conductivity, easy to use, simple to manage, and its access points can be used as standalone devices which gives flexibility in the SMB market."
"The solution is used for public Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi solution provides internet connectivity in the public platform."
"Analyzes real-time, in-depth network performance."
"The solution has many innovative features."
"Zero-handoff is one of the top features. The client balancing between the access points is good. Its security is also fine."
"It's good for low-level usage."
"The biggest advantages of Ruckus Wireless are pricing and support."
"Ruckus WAPs have excellent coverage and their beamforming means that we can cover more area with fewer WAPs."
"The solution is expensive."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"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 pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"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."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The product pricing needs improvement."
"The solution’s technical support could be faster."
"Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available."
"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."
"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 product licensing could be improved."
"The pricing needs to be more clear and licensing could be less expensive."
"While the Virtual SmartZone appliance has improved in the last few years, it isn’t without issue and the performance of the Web page leaves something to be desired."
"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 solution's pricing could be cheaper."
"The product is very expensive."
"The solution currently lacks the integration of security services."
"APs should be more adaptable to denser client regions and, most important, the logs on the ZoneDirector should be classified into groups, such as type of logs and alerts."
