"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"The most beneficial thing about Ubiquiti is that it is simple to deploy."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The price could be better."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The solution currently lacks the integration of security services."
"It is very difficult to convince the customer to choose Ruckus because of the price."
"I think it would be nice if Ruckus offered the option of a cloud interface for easy configuration of Ruckus Wireless."
"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."
"The solution isn't the cheapest option. However, you are getting a quality product."
"It could be cheaper."
"The initial setup is complex."
"In my company, we still has to do some manual calculations on where we should set the access points, which is a time-consuming process as there were no automatic setup functions provided by the tool."
"The solution should improve stability."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones."
"When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
