reviewer925296
Sr. Systems Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Great management features and easy to set up
Pros and Cons
- "The feature I like most, is the product activity."
- "I would like to see built-in Wi-Fi."
What other advice do I have?
In the next release, I would like to see a better and easier firewall for proper scanning of our network analyzer. At this stage, it is analyzing my complete traffic on the protocol level and then I have to analyze and spend a lot of time to understand my existing traffic flow. So it is very time-consuming. On a scale from one to 10, I rate it a 10 out of 10. This solution is a complete product and the best product out there.Uwe Schmidt

Simple to use, great for outdoor usage and easy to disguise
What is our primary use case?
The solution is mainly used by carriers or for government usage. It's not really designed for normal usage.Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable aspect of the solution is the size of the outdoor access points. It's great and you can disguise them quite well."
- "The pricing, when compared to Ubiquiti, isn't competitive enough. If you want to have a Government or Public sector client they will ask why they should pay 200 euros if they can get something for 40 euros."
What other advice do I have?
We're Ruckus reseller and implementors. This solution is very high-quality. I'd advise other organizations to look for the best solutions for their situation. However, I know how difficult this is to sell. It's difficult to sell quality when organizations just want to see the price tag. This is especially true in the government and public sector, that are always constrained by budgets. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It's a very good product. It's a high-end product and it plays in the right league. We do have customers who are willing to spend money, but it's very difficult to find…

IT Consultant at Asasbin
A reasonably priced solution that is easy to set up and expand
What is our primary use case?
We use this solution to provide network access points.Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature is the ease of adding an access point."
- "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 other advice do I have?
My advice for anybody who is considering this solution is to get a good system integrator. Specifically, the people who design the wireless network. You want to have a good design professional who will optimize the cost and give you the best office solution. Overall, this is a good product that is reasonably priced. I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

Easy to install, Stable Wireless connection, but marketing needs to expand to other areas
What is our primary use case?
This solution is used in our hotel as an access point to connect our guests on the internet. The deployment model we used is on-premises.Pros and Cons
- "I made some comparisons with other competitors and I found that Ruckus was number one in regards to stability."
- "I have some friends who have not heard of Ruckus, but are aware of other competitors."
What other advice do I have?
I really like this solution and it is recognized here in Riyadh Airport, most of the WiFi is with Ruckus, not with Cisco or any other solution. One of the largest Airports in Saudi Arabia is using the Ruckus Wireless WiFi as an access point. It means it's a genuine, reliable solution. In Saudi Arabia we have a lot of outdoor WiFi and it's recognized through Ruckus, Cisco and sometimes Linksys. Unfortunately, at work, they are using Linksys. I am an IT engineer and I have used Ruckus as a WiFi access point for all of the hotels. It can be connected directly to the wireless access controller and…

Good performance, data throughput, reliability, and technical support
What is our primary use case?
The primary use case of this solution is wireless networking for small businesses.Pros and Cons
- "The performance is very nice, the throughput is better than any other product, and it's reliable."
- "The pricing needs to be reconsidered because it's expensive."
What other advice do I have?
I will always ask customers first if they have a specific vendor in mind and if they say no, then I always refer them to the Ruckus solution because of the technical aspects. I am not involved in sales or the pricing but it's expensive. It has very good speed, for the current user, the quantity is more. Ruckus is the first vendor who has declared access by live access points. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.See 4 more Ruckus Wireless WAN Reviews
