We performed a comparison between Cambium Networks Wireless WAN and Cisco Wireless WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless WAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I find valuable is the fact that you don't need to purchase any license. Basically you just get the hardware for the access points, configure an IP and connect it with a switch."
"It is a good product for cloud management."
"One could say that Cambium is a scalable solution."
"Technical support has been good."
"It eliminates the need for additional controllers, reducing costs."
"The product's scalability features are good."
"The feature that I really liked is the mesh feature. Currently, we are in quarantine, and the request of home users is that they need to cover the whole house or the whole indoor house. Mesh solution works really nice in Cambium environment. Being able to set up access points in advance is a good feature. It lets you set up the whole environment in your lab or any other place before deploying the access points."
"It's a good product and works well when there is a lot of interference."
"Cisco wireless is stable, easy to use, and simple to configure. They have an outstanding GUI."
"Our most valuable feature involves the 802.11ac, which operates at a very high level and has updated technology."
"The most valuable features are CleanAir, Rogue Detection, and the auto-calculation of RF."
"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."
"Cisco Wireless WAN's best feature is the integration with other Cisco products."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Wireless WAN is the ease of management."
"The initial setup is straightforward, and you need to spend around six to 10 weeks to set up one controller."
"I am impressed with the tool's packet tracing so that connection with the devices is always consistent."
"It has voucher generation. These vouchers are provided to the customers. It would be great if there is a possibility to integrate these vouchers with the system that vendors use to print the receipts. For example, if you go to Starbucks, they provide you a receipt, and in that receipt, you have the code for the Wi-Fi network. I would like some kind of integration or API that can be integrated into any other system for generating such receipts. It would be a really nice feature. It has the cnMaestro portal that normally an integrator sets up. When you deploy this solution to a user, rather than generating a Cambium account, I would like to share this console with the users so that they can at least see the stability of the network and not necessarily trust what I said. It also allows the customers in visualizing the way that they are connecting and the way the network is behaving. I have been in touch with the Cambium team for these features, but they don't yet have the final answer. It is kind of hard to get these solutions immediately. It is a bit challenging to bring these devices to Lima, Peru, or to get Cambium from the distributors. They need to import these devices."
"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is stable but sometimes the 2.4 gigahertz network is sometimes not as stable as the 5 gigahertz. The 5 gigahertz works smoothly with everything, but 2.4 has some problems. If we change the configuration I am not sure if it would fix the problem."
"The range of the product is disappointing so far."
"I think this product could be improved if It were SMS based. If I have a visitor in my office, I'd like to be able to send them the wireless password as a message via SMS, so I don't have to give it out."
"There is no good technical support available for Cambium Networks Wireless WAN."
"One drawback is that Cambium's on-premises controller needs internet connectivity for installation, which can be a problem for clients who want it offline."
"The solution's price could be better."
"Pricing tends to be higher than its competitors."
"Documentation is an area that needs review. It should be more dynamic and it should be easier."
"The new platform of Cisco Wireless WAN I did not like, there weren't many features available. The online platform has more options."
"The tool's speed and IP address acquisition from the domain controller should be improved"
"The cloud interoperability needs improvement."
"Technical support could be more helpful."
"We have had some problems connecting to the internet with Cisco Wireless WAN, but it is not the equipment or configuration. Additionally, the integration with access control security could improve."
"The product must be made more user-friendly."
"The initial setup and deployment should be easier."
