More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"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.""The capacity and coverage could be improved.""There is room for improvement in the pricing model.""The platform's cost needs improvement.""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.""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 should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN Cons →

"The troubleshooting feature for the cloud version is challenging.""The solution should offer better support.""The solution must include integrated IoT solutions on their wireless APs.""The product must be provided at a cheaper price.""In the next release, I would like to see more security features.""Technical support is an area that needs to be improved.""The user interface of ExtremeWireless could be better. It is not user-friendly.""The cost is a little high."

  • "High-end products from Cambium PTP, point-to-point radio, maybe cost around $1000 per year."
  • "It's a good price, but not the best price. It's on the higher end of what I would call affordable for small to medium-sized businesses."
  • "The pricing for Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is much cheaper than Meraki. For example, I have to pay $200 for one AP from Cambium, while for a Meraki AP, I have to pay $450 including the user license. Meraki has a higher price over Cambium Networks Wireless LAN."
  • "In general, the way we purchased it was we purchased it at the beginning, was with five years of support, once our initial cost was met, we didn't have to pay for anything else."
  • "The licensing costs for this solution are calculated per asset, and depending on the model of the equipment, it starts at $230, and goes up to roughly $1,200. The benefit of this solution is that there are no hidden costs; no cost for managing the equipment, and no cost for maintaining the equipment during its usable lifetime."

  • "There are both paid and free licenses of the cloud environment, with only basic functionality in the free version."
  • "The purchase of 350 access points cost approximately $250,000 USD."
  • "The solution is priced well and we currently are only paying for a license for maintenance."
  • "Our access points device is at its end of life. I can buy one more and then I must buy a new device, but if it is a new device it will not support the old virtual appliance. I would need to upgrade our virtual appliance to the next version or build a new virtual appliance with new devices, and it's not good for us. The overall licensing subscription could be better."
  • "The price of the solution overall is expensive. Additionally, the controller and license are expensive. We pay for an annual subscription."
  • "Extreme isn't the most expensive, but it's not a low-cost solution, and because there are no big volumes, you don't receive significant discounts, making the final price higher."
  • "I rate the price of Extreme Wireless a three out of five."
  • "It's not as expensive as some and is scalable to our needs."
