It also has an inbuilt spectrum analyzer for stable connectivity.""It is a stable and secure platform."

"We use NETGEAR's Insight management solution to do off-property controls. It is user-friendly and provides network management, monitoring, and service deployment across multiple remote and local sites. That means I don't have to be physically at a location to do things if I want to make any changes to the network. It saves time and money.""The internet connectivity is good.""I'm able to do a lot of things, because the GUI is designed very well. I'm able to remotely make certain changes via my phone and apply them right away. It makes life easier when it comes to managing the equipment. The Insight management solution phone app is very good. It enables me to do what I want to do.""Our company sometimes uses the solution's technical support, and we have seen that they sort out our general problems quickly.""I now have the ability to remote access my network. That works extremely well. I can access it from any place. I don't need to be physically at the device. This saves me on time and travel.""[Being] able to configure the WiFi devices and to see utilization remotely, or from the cloud.""The meshing capabilities are the most valuable feature. When I am going in-between buildings, my phone doesn't have to pick up different WiFi. They are all the same. Even in-between the buildings, I stay connected.""The metrics demonstrate that NETGEAR really does a good job of balancing the load between the various access points on the networks and this results in an elimination of downtime."

Cons
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""The price could be better."

"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.""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.""The platform's cost needs improvement.""Not a lot of technical engineers are familiar with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. They are familiar with implementing and using other solutions such as Aruba. Therefore, Cambium Networks needs to be more visible in the marketplace.""The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"

"The pricing and standard connectivity can be further improved.""I have some frustrations with the ease of use. It tends to be sluggish. The graphical interface is pretty, but not useful. They have this tree that shows connected devices, which makes no sense whatsoever because the labeling field of the tree truncates all the items to the point that it's almost useless. You can't even tell what it is. I would prefer a spreadsheet list of the gear as opposed to a graphical representation.""The biggest issue I've had is that it works very well with the WiFi, but it does not offer any assistance at all with the routers. You can't control them or manage them at all. As soon as you want to use anything on the network side—because I have multiple 28-port switches—you can't manage them using this app.""Due to certain shortcomings in the solution's stability, I feel that the solution's stability requires improvement.""A con is the backend system which is very, very slow.""While the data throughput does provide us with full insight into data being used, we find that it's not very accurate.""Software-wise, they need to provide the ability to kick users out. If multiple users are abusing the system or the network, I should be able to block them for a time and, when I need to unblock them, I should be able to do so by using their MAC ID. That feature might already be there and I just don't know about it.""My major problem is right now, the area which I need to cover is around 7,000 to 10,000 square feet...I would like NETGEAR Insight Access Points to extend the area coverage they provide."

  • "High-end products from Cambium PTP, point-to-point radio, maybe cost around $1000 per year."
