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."With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"The solution is stable."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The simplicity is great."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"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."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months."
"It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is reliable."
"Ruckus Wireless is a valuable solution. It's both scalable and reliable."
"Ruckus features a centralized architecture solution with ultrasound technology, which helps us with communication and roaming."
"The solution is very user friendly."
"Very reliable."
"They have all the features in terms of wireless technology. They have most of the features already there in the controller and their wireless system."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"There is better security on our internal SSID/VLAN due to the use of Zero-IT."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"The solution is expensive."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"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."
"The solution’s technical support could be faster."
"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."
"The capacity and coverage could be improved."
"The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"
"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."
"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."
"Mounting options for outdoor access points, I think they could easily improve on that."
"One area where Ruckus Wireless could improve is its technical support."
"I recommend enhancing flexibility for administrators within the Partner Domain."
"They need more products in the lower-end range for smaller clients."
"Ruckus is a bad solution in general. It's pretty old and outdated."
"There is some strain with Ruckus because of various buyouts involving the company used for data centers and the cluster."
"Wi-Fi 6E and the cloud are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"It would be better if there were more visibility on the cloud. We have some lack of visibility because of wireless interference, and you have to do some troubleshooting for the packet capture. They have a built-in packet capture, and we can monitor the application. You can see all things over the cloud. They also provide an on-premise solution, so they need to improve the on-premise version and ensure an output with more visibility. Live monitoring in a live environment should be good. What is happening with wireless is that the wireless client is not connected due to interference, and there should be a shield zone on their wireless cloud. If they give us more features on both Ruckus Cloud or on-premises, that will be best. Nowadays, security is more important for everyone using wireless technology. If they implement a little bit of reduction and prevention features for some packets on the wireless cloud, some features like web filtering and some prevention for blocking will be good for the network."
