"The strongest point for Ruckus has always been the radio hardware."
"Ruckus Wireless WAN is an easy-to-use solution."
"The performance of this solution is amazing in terms of radiofrequency technology."
"One of its notable advantages lies in the superior performance of its antennas and radios."
"The initial setup of Ruckus Wireless WAN is very easy."
"Ruckus Wireless WAN is simple to use. Its coverage is better than other tools."
"Scalability is a valuable feature."
"The connectivity is good. There's no lag at all in service."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"The solution offers us good situational awareness by providing information on user activity, signal strength, and all the data that you need to manage the system and understand issues."
"We use the solution for many of our smaller customers and the cloud management aspect of the solution is very good. If you compare it to other vendors that have a controller, it's much easier to manage the cloud-based solution because we travel a lot. It allows us to manage everything from any place."
"I like that it's very easy and very stable. It's easy to install as well."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is extremely easy to set up."
"Overall, it's a straightforward solution."
"It allows us to offer policy control."
"Having dual-band is important. Having compatibility with very old equipment on certain frequencies, for example on 2.4 and 5.8."
"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."
"The stability of the solution could improve in an upcoming release."
"This product needs a point-to-point, bridge solution."
"Ruckus Wireless WAN needs to improve its pricing."
"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 connectivity and mobility for users could be improved."
"The solution could be more stable."
"Technical support is something that needs to be improved."
"Its stability could be better."
"The range and maybe the quality of the signal can be improved. I had a feeling that the range wasn't long enough. Unfortunately, beyond a certain range, the signal was too weak. If I'm not mistaken, it must have been something like 100 or more than 100 meters, but I'm not sure. So, one improvement I wish for this equipment is to have a longer range, but that could mainly be due to the model we're using."
"o if you are setting up any other third party product or any other different product, it sometimes can be a bit difficult. With Ubiquiti, you need to set up because you can adopt the product and that's it, where if it's not a Ubiquiti product it can sometimes be a difficult setup."
"This might not be the best solution for a very large organization."
"It's hard to get stuff delivered on time."
"We'd like the solution to be more stable and have fewer firmware upgrades."
"Ubiquiti Wireless could improve stability."
"Their stock is a bit low compared to others, making it difficult to purchase."
