"The mesh technology is the solution's most valuable aspect. Ruckus originally had the patent for it. They might've lost it because I see now that other people are doing it, however, they were the ones who came out with the smart mesh technology first, which is phenomenal."
"This solution is easy to use and you need minimal IT experience to work with it."

"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The price could be better."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The solution lacks a lot of features other solutions provide. If you are an organization that is more focused on security or you need a lot of other features, such as location tracking then Ruckus Wireless may not be the right choice. If you want a solution with more than basic security I would choose Arista or Aruba."
"The product is very expensive."
"The solution needs to have some sort of security offering, like a firewall, for example."
"Its pricing and licensing can be improved. Its UI can also be more user-friendly. Currently, in the Unleashed mode, the information that you have about the switches that you add to the controller is quite limited. I would like more information regarding switches. In this mode, an access point acts as a controller, so you don't need a controller. It is for deployments with less than 125 access points, and you can use an access point as a controller."
"They should work to make their licensing more affordable."
"They need to be able to allow us to keep some of the older products on our cloud controllers or any of their controllers longer and just start supporting the new controllers. They force you into an upgrade unnecessarily."
"It would be helpful to have a wizard when you are setting up a new access point or a wireless guest network."
"Most customers revoke the idea of deploying it when they observe the cost per AP license."
