"In the last year, there's been a significant price jump, but I think Ruckus Wireless is still a good value for the money."

"I have not got any major problem using Ruckus, but the price and technical support could be better."
"It would be ideal if the solution offered more features."
"From the user point of view, sometimes we face a little bit of a challenge in terms of the channels selection for Ruckus. When we have installed all of the APs outdoors, those channels are actually empty in different numbers, so sometimes we found this challenging for getting paired between these point to point communications. If there is any way we can get some proprietary channels or some IT this interruption will not be there. That would be really fantastic for more reliable connectivity."
"The Ruckus platform in general could be improved — it could be more user-friendly."
"The switching could be improved. The active component requires a data center. Cisco and HPE have a complete solution for data centers. Ruckus has a core solution, but the data center aspect needs to be improved."
"The pricing of the product can be a bit expensive. They should work on making pricing more competitive."
