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's a good product and works well when there is a lot of interference."
"One could say that Cambium is a scalable solution."
"It is a good product for cloud management."
"It is easy to deploy and has many specialists to help us handle complicated processes."
"Technical support has been good."
"The solution's coverage range is good, it is easy to use, and deployment is very easy and user-friendly."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is highly scalable. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup of Ruckus Wireless WAN is very easy."
"One of its notable advantages lies in the superior performance of its antennas and radios."
"One of the standout features is the ease of installation and commissioning, making the whole process very straightforward."
"Ruckus Wireless WAN is simple to use. Its coverage is better than other tools."
"Ruckus Wireless WAN's best feature is its virtual controller."
"We use things like VLAN and all the multibeam features that are built in, but at the end of the day, the most important thing for us is to get a good signal and site-wide coverage."
"It's highly scalable as long as the licenses are in place. You can expand it easily."
"There are numerous features, but what I like about Ruckus is that they have a good coverage range due to their BeamFlex technique."
"The range of the product is disappointing so far."
"The product could have more access points to increase the network coverage."
"I think this product could be improved if It were SMS based. If I have a visitor in my office, I'd like to be able to send them the wireless password as a message via SMS, so I don't have to give it out."
"If someone wants to go to the location-based portal of the product, like the one available in Meraki, it would not be possible, and it is an area that needs improvement."
"The modulation could be optimized for better performance, and the configuration should be made adaptive to ensure dynamic adjustments as needed."
"The installation is difficult."
"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN's support services could be better."
"Cambium's solution is flexible for various connectivity needs, although there are limitations based on the specific equipment and metrics. The indoor coverage typically reaches up to sixty meters and may require external antennas for optimal performance and for outdoor connectivity, Cambium Networks offer excellent scalability and coverage, especially with sectorial access points."
"The support could be faster. It takes time for them to reply."
"I have been working with WiFi for more than 17 years. I am not able to convince customers because of the pricing of the solution. Otherwise, we could have sold lots of this tool to the customers."
"Really, it's just about centralizing manageability across multiple sites, but like I said, that's me commenting on the old product that we've got. I know they've addressed that now with cloud controllers, but that would've been my main thing."
"The pricing of Ruckus Wireless WAN is an area of concern. Ruckus Wireless WAN should slash its current price to match the prices offered by its competitors."
"The solution could use a better user interface."
"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."
"Pricing is an area for improvement. The devices are relatively expensive."
"The initial setup is complex."
