We performed a comparison between Cambium Networks Wireless LAN and Ruckus Wireless based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is very secure."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The simplicity is great."
"The product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool."
"The product has valuable throughput capabilities. It also has an inbuilt spectrum analyzer for stable connectivity."
"The cloud-based management provided by Cambium Networks is particularly valuable to us, as it allows us to efficiently manage Wi-Fi, point-to-point connections, firewalls, and switches across various locations from a centralized platform. This enables us to be proactive in providing support and ensures smooth operations for our clients."
"It is a stable and secure platform."
"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months."
"We are able to quickly identify Rogue WAPs in our network and move to disconnect them immediately when Ruckus alerts us."
"The most valuable is the central administration. Provides quick views of activity, from the number of clients online to signal and noise readings."
"Valuable features include Bonjour Gateway and the hardware antenna array."
"I like the price and its capacity."
"The product is extremely easy to manage after it is implemented."
"The solution is very stable. I've worked with it at a hospital before, where we deployed it all over the hospital. It worked everywhere and continuously worked flawlessly."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"Performance-wise, it's great."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The solution is expensive."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The product pricing needs improvement."
"The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness."
"What could be improved in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is its efficiency in large areas because we noticed that there's a need to increase the APs in large rooms or spaces for the Wi-Fi to be more efficient. Another area for improvement in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is bandwidth management. This is a feature that Meraki has that allows you to control user bandwidth, so my company has a pilot project to test Meraki Wireless LAN. Bandwidth control is an additional feature I'd like to see in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN as that would make the solution better."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the configuration options for point-to-point setups directly from the cloud management interface. Currently, the process feels a bit clunky—you monitor the unit in the cloud but need to make configuration changes by editing a text file, then downloading it back to the unit. This method can be error-prone, as even a small mistake in the text file could disrupt the unit's configuration."
"Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available."
"We would like this product to have more information data sheets available. At present we cannot easily access details around the full capability of a piece of equipment."
"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."
"The solution could include more security features."
"It is extremely difficult to send videos in Ruckus live sessions. Zoom streaming, or using Teams Streaming live sessions to send videos, for example, could be more effective."
"I would like to see this product made a little more economical because it's very expensive."
"The cloud system from Ruckus is not mature enough just yet."
"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 Ruckus platform in general could be improved — it could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see newer on-premises controller-type models, similar to the 3000."
"The tool needs to incorporate training. Also, it needs to improve the range of coverage."
