"The most valuable feature is the technology of the security that is offered."
"It will allow me to integrate another system very quickly, as we continue expanding for our client."
"Its ability to be cloud-managed is the most valuable feature so if there's a reconfiguration or an issue, we have excellent visibility into the network and we can usually resolve the problem online without having to go onsite."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the application visibility, which is one of the main features."
"The visibility of the site is most useful."
"With Cisco products and third-party products, integration of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is good."
"The best feature of Ruckus Wireless WAN apart from its seamless roaming feature where you roam beautifully on the network is its analytics tool that gives you so much insight into your deployment, so it has become more of a business intelligence type of tool as well. I also like that Ruckus Networks, in terms of WiFi security issues on the WiFi protocols, is also the first company to give you notices of security issues, and also the first to provide patches for those issues. Ruckus Wireless WAN is very proactive and much, much faster than Cisco, Aruba, and Meraki."
"The stability provided is very nice."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"Ruckus has multiple radios. Therefore, it supports high speed for users and clients. Other vendors have fluctuations in speed. The main thing about Ruckus is that you can trust it and rely on its speed. I am simply satisfied with it."
"The performance of this solution is amazing in terms of radiofrequency technology."
"The solution is suitable for many types of environments, such as small businesses."
"Radio management is a valuable feature of the solution."
"The technical features are very good and it's very useful if you need a wireless solution."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The integration options with third-party applications need enhancement."
"We would like the solution to work on the pricing of the solution. It would be ideal if it could bring the overall costs down."
"There needs to be some work done on security because, with time, some viruses may emerge that one may not know about."
"The price could be slightly better, but then again, we negotiate deals every time so the market price isn't really relevant."
"When we are using SSID roaming, it is not flexible in terms of which AP it connects to."
"It is not a budget-friendly solution."
"Cisco offers pretty expensive devices."
"Documentation could be improved, but everything else has been spot-on."
"Ruckus Wireless WAN we have a lot of component shortages in the world. This has impacted deliveries. We have large back orders of the solution."
"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."
"Integration with AirMagnet, the design software, would be good because it takes the layout of a building and positions the access points accordingly, based on the areas and the construction materials."
"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."
"I believe there is room for improvement in the price structure."
"It would be nice to some analytical features built into this solution."
"In Cisco, there is a configuration where it automatically switches from the 2.4 GHz to 5.2 GHz frequency. But with Ruckus, usually, we need to manually define whether we want to use the 2.4 GHz or 5.2 GHz."
"The product needs to improve its latency and performance."
