We performed a comparison between Cambium Networks Wireless WAN and Ruckus Wireless WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless WAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is highly scalable. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"What I find valuable is the fact that you don't need to purchase any license. Basically you just get the hardware for the access points, configure an IP and connect it with a switch."
"It is easy to deploy and has many specialists to help us handle complicated processes."
"It is a good product for cloud management."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's a good product and works well when there is a lot of interference."
"The solution's coverage range is good, it is easy to use, and deployment is very easy and user-friendly."
"The most valuable features for network performance in the solution are reliability and centralized management through a single controller."
"Scalability is a valuable feature."
"Its build quality is good and quite robust."
"I made some comparisons with other competitors and I found that Ruckus was number one in regards to stability."
"The ratio of highest quality to value is the most valuable."
"The feature I like most, is the product activity."
"There are numerous features, but what I like about Ruckus is that they have a good coverage range due to their BeamFlex technique."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The solution can scale well."
"The solution needs to add an LTE solution and/or something in 3.5GHz."
"It has voucher generation. These vouchers are provided to the customers. It would be great if there is a possibility to integrate these vouchers with the system that vendors use to print the receipts. For example, if you go to Starbucks, they provide you a receipt, and in that receipt, you have the code for the Wi-Fi network. I would like some kind of integration or API that can be integrated into any other system for generating such receipts. It would be a really nice feature. It has the cnMaestro portal that normally an integrator sets up. When you deploy this solution to a user, rather than generating a Cambium account, I would like to share this console with the users so that they can at least see the stability of the network and not necessarily trust what I said. It also allows the customers in visualizing the way that they are connecting and the way the network is behaving. I have been in touch with the Cambium team for these features, but they don't yet have the final answer. It is kind of hard to get these solutions immediately. It is a bit challenging to bring these devices to Lima, Peru, or to get Cambium from the distributors. They need to import these devices."
"The Wifi coverage and throughput performance of Cambium could improve."
"The installation is difficult."
"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN could improve by providing a better signal range."
"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is stable but sometimes the 2.4 gigahertz network is sometimes not as stable as the 5 gigahertz. The 5 gigahertz works smoothly with everything, but 2.4 has some problems. If we change the configuration I am not sure if it would fix the problem."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"They could enhance the product's security features, particularly in analyzing and protecting against potential threats."
"What needs improvement in Ruckus Wireless WAN is the initial setup. It could be easier. Availability is also another area for improvement in the product. Another huge disadvantage of Ruckus Wireless WAN is the cost you must continuously pay for the licenses."
"The controller could be made less complicated, so those who are less technically sound can maintain it."
"So far, I find Ruckus Wireless WAN okay in terms of the technology and existing business network, but licensing could be more flexible, especially the IoT license that was changed to adapt to the IoT Controller and sensor subscription. The previous licensing method for Ruckus Wireless WAN was better. In my opinion, it wasn't a good decision to change it because the customer prefers the previous licensing over the current licensing. It's not only about the money in terms of licensing, but also about flexibility. The latest license change isn't as flexible. I also found the cloud solution not partner-friendly, so that could also be improved. Another area for improvement in Ruckus Wireless WAN is answering partner requests because currently, it doesn't seem easy for them. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is the AP having its MQTT forwarder. Ruckus Wireless WAN AP supports IoT modules now and to use the IoT modules, you need all IoT data to pass through the IoT Controller. If I could forward that IoT data directly to my environment, similar to what you can do with other solutions, that would be great."
"They could include a firewall feature in the next release but even there it's not really necessary"
"The captive portal should be more customizable because right now, it is very limited."
"The product needs to improve its latency and performance."
"Of course, we'd always like it to be cheaper, but that's for every product."
"There is a significant issue with wireless functionality in Apple devices, particularly during video calls."
