Find out what your peers are saying about Ubiquiti Networks, Ruckus, Cambium Networks and others in Wireless WAN."Our university has experienced a positive return on investment, and I believe Cisco Wireless WAN will continue to benefit us for at least a decade."
"The technical support we have experienced has been good."
"The most valuable features are coverage and reliability."
"The solution offers very good performance, especially for iPhones."
"The security and the capabilities of the platform are the most valuable features."
"We used everything Cisco, not just wireless. It works great with other Cisco tools."
"It just gives you the ability to use it around the office without being tied up to an actual physical connection."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Wireless WAN are the dashboards, security functionality, and Cisco DNA center. The way the solution has integrated within the fabric of the environment with automation is very good."
"If you compare wired versus wireless, it's convenient. You don't need to have one place for connectivity. You can move around and it's easier. Sometimes it's a hassle to work with wires, which is why wireless is so convenient."
"The most useful aspect of Mist AI and Cloud is automation capabilities."
"The AI deployment process involves adding access points and placing them in the designated area. The AI system automatically adjusts channel selection and transmission power without any issues with stability or throughput. It has improved network performance."
"Has an extremely good feature set."
"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."
"Mist AI and Cloud have definitely improved the functioning of our organization. The access to the Internet, including its speed and reliability, has significantly improved."
"AI-driven automation helps implement the solution quickly."
"Regarding features, the solution seems to be very intuitive."
"There are some limitations with scaling the on-premises version - if you want to scale, you need to change the hardware and purchase a new wireless controller at an additional cost."
"Cisco Firewall cannot recognize some applications and that makes dealing with policies difficult. Even when we whitelist, it does not work well."
"There is no centralized management for multiple wireless control deployments or a user tracking feature."
"There are a number of areas for improvement in Cisco Wireless WAN, including sensitive applications which face issues on wireless stuff and difficulty troubleshooting."
"We would like to have the lead times improved."
"If there's a problem, it's usually when Cisco pushes out updates. The users don't always push the updates to their computer, and it causes some issues. It's reliable as long as everyone is doing what they're supposed to."
"Improvements can be made in the wireless fabric."
"The console interface is not very user-friendly. It's a bit complex and difficult to navigate."
"In future releases, they need to add some router models. Because currently, it supports only SSR and WAN routers. But adding other routers would be good."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
"Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it."
"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."
"There seems to be different versions of standards used in the wireless access points. In the future, it would be helpful if the solution could come up with some kind of universal standard for all devices and all access points."
