Cambium Networks Wireless LAN Reviews

I like how they have a single point of contact for administration. The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial.

I would like them to add some kind of web filtering, as well as the ability to add content filtering. That is something I would like them to be able to do.

If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release. And if they include that, it would be a perfect solution.

I have been working with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN for five years.

Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is a stable solution.

Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is a scalable product.

I have everything from a single person in a home to a large installation with over 40 wireless access points, which is quite large.

Technical support is very knowledgeable.

We also work with Cambium Wireless WAN.

Previously, I worked with Ubiquiti and NETGEAR. We have a legacy system mobile. When compared with Cambium, I recommend Cambium Networks Wireless LAN.

Cambium, in my opinion, completely outperforms them.

The implementation process is exceedingly easy.

Cambium's initial price is a problem because it is more expensive than the others, but if you calculate the total cost of ownership over three years, Cambium probably works out better because there are no license fees.

The cost is determined by the item purchased. A wireless system has so many different types of applications. You have to consider if you need it outdoors, indoors, and across multiple sites, or if you require more than one website.

It's a good price, but not the best price. It's on the higher end of what I would call affordable for small to medium-sized businesses.

I would recommend hiring someone who knows what they are doing. This is the secret because is it easy to make an error, and easily ruin it.

We are partners with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN.

It's a marvelous system, I would rate Cambium Networks Wireless LAN an eight out of ten.

How the product is used depends on the customer requirements. It's based on what we are doing with the solution design.

It can be used in different sectors, including hospitality and governmental sectors. 

Cambium itself is now focusing on more enterprise solutions in the hospitality sector. It's reducing the cost. Cambium is a one-time investment. There is no other extra cost to buy a controller or buy a license. If I implement Cambium, it has a lot of features. The main advantage is that Cambium provides a five-year warranty and all the devices and it can be managed from cloud cnMaestro, which is free of cost. Therefore, it helps save an organization on costs. 

Cambium recently launched the 6 GHz band. If the customer buys Cambium hardware, they don't need to change the hardware in the future. If they want to change the band to 5 GHz or if they want to change the band to 2.4 GHz, they can, without changing the hardware. This is the most advantageous feature.

It's easy to set up.

It is a stable solution. 

We can scale it if we need to. 

Support has been helpful.

We have witnessed a great ROI.

The capacity and coverage could be improved. Nowadays, for the end user, there could be more features. 

API integration features should be free. 

I've been working with the solution since 2014. That's almost eight years. 

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. 

It is scalable. 

There is a ticketing system for technical support. If I put the ticket, there are various priorities - high, medium, and low. I get a reply within eight hours if it is a high priority. If I need on-call support or remote support, they can provide it.

Positive

The initial setup is very straightforward and simple. 

We have one person that can handle deployment and maintenance tasks. 

The deployment times depend on the project. If the project is big, then it'll take time. If the project is small, then it'll be fast. 

The main thing is if the site conditions are okay. If the site conditions have dependencies, there is passive work. If the passive work is done for Cambium deployment, the device configuration is not going to take more than five to ten minutes for each device. Most use cases of Cambium have the deployment managed centrally from cnMaestro and the thing is just plug-and-play. To complete the installation and configuration is not going to take more than one or two days.

We have a technical team in Bangladesh that can handle limited deployments.

As we are the distributor, our customer is a system integrator. The system integrator themselves have lots of engineers who look after the end user. As we are the distributor, my role is to train and understand Cambium products. I understand that two or three engineers are enough to do a deployment for the development of a project.

In terms of the return of investment, the main advantage is the device has a five-year warranty and its RMA claim process is very easy. If I claim the warranty, I don't need to send back the device. I will just do the RMA claim and Cambium will provide me with new devices free of cost. Also, they launch triple band devices - 2.4, 5 GHz and then 6 GHz. It means that it is a one-time investment; I don't need to change the hardware for the future.

I'd rate the ROI we can expect at a five out of five. 

They're offering two solutions for the controller. One is Cambium cnMaestro Essentials, which is free of cost. The other one is cmMaestro X. cmMaestro Essentials has a limited shelf of features. cmMaestro X is a paid version and there is no limitation on the features and there are more advanced options. If you need the more advanced features, then you need to buy the cmMaestro X and this depends on the part device licensing.

The licensing is per device. It's possible to get a discount, however, it's a bit costly - much like Cisco. I'd rate the licensing affordability at a three out of five. 

I used to be a user at a different company. Now I work for an organization that is a South Asia Pacific master distributor of Cambium.

We're not necessarily just using the latest version of the solution. 

As of now, I have not deployed or implemented an on-premises solution. However, I do work with the cloud. 

In a large deployment we did, this solution was deployed for a hotel in Bangladesh. This building had 204 guest rooms, seven restaurants, and a big lobby. This is the biggest project I have implemented. It had 120 indoor devices. There might be 200 users on the solution. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

If someone is looking to implement Cambium Wireless LAN they should check the device. The technology is very fast moving. They need to secure their investment before implementing and ensure they'll be getting something that lasts. 

Not a lot of technical engineers are familiar with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. They are familiar with implementing and using other solutions such as Aruba. Therefore, Cambium Networks needs to be more visible in the marketplace.

I have been using it for a couple of months.

It is a stable solution.

The solution is scalable as well. Approximately 20 engineers use this solution in my company.

Technical support is not great but not too bad either. They are slow at times.

Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months.

I deployed it myself with the help of other engineers.

Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is cheaper than Aruba.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cambium Networks Wireless LAN at seven.

We use it for wireless solutions. 

It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure.

There is room for improvement in the pricing model. Cambium is a little bit higher than some other products. There are some product types which have single cases, but the cost is very low.

I have been providing the service for one and a half years. It's accessible on both cloud and on-premises.

It is a stable solution. 

It's quite easy, not so difficult to set up. Nowadays, the product we are using as a backup or secondary solution for Cambium is even more familiar than Cambium.

Cambium is a high-cost product. As for performance, Cambium is very good, even better than Ruzzi, but the cost is a major consideration. So, clients tend to go for the more reasonably priced products.

I would give it an eight. Overall, it's a good product, but there is definitely room for improvement in terms of cost.

The product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization. 

Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing. 

I have been using the product for two years. 

Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is stable. I rate it an eight out of ten. 

The product is scalable. My company has 250-300 users. 

The product is easy to deploy. It can be done within one to two hours. 

Cambium Networks Wireless LAN's deployment can be done in-house. 

I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. 

I rate the product an eight out of ten. 

We use Cambium Networks Wireless LAN to manage and control network devices such as access points, routers, or network switches. This centralized management system, facilitated by cnMaestro enables administrators to configure and monitor their LAN devices seamlessly through the cloud.

The product pricing needs improvement.

The initial setup is relatively quick and straightforward, especially compared to other products. However, the complexity of the setup process may vary depending on the scale of the deployment.

It is an expensive product compared to other competitors.

It is a stable and secure platform. I rate it an eight.
