"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."
"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."
"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."
"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."
"The product pricing needs improvement."
"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."
"There is very little publicly available information about Virtual Cell and Single Channel Architecture. Promotion of the overall technology is limited as well. Being more vocal about a product that has many advantages would go a long way to eliminating a lot of the confusion and negative perception about Virtual Cell and Single Channel Architecture."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"Areas for improvement would be the compatibility with Apple products and cross-platform integration."
"The pricing for the solution is expensive and can be improved."
"I have used Cisco previously and I don't see any specific differences from Fortinet FortiWLM or other vendors."
"Technical support is very poor. We are not satisfied with the technical support because there is not any direct person from Fortinet for any troubleshooting, which we expected."
"The range needs some improvement and also the stability."
"The roaming of Fortinet FortiWLM could improve when comparing it to other solutions. We are missing some of the functionality in the controller. Additionally, they should offer more logs instead of using FortiAnalyzer because all the users will not be using the same thing."
