"Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN could improve by having more granularity in terms of the data displayed. However, I understand that with Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN, you need to have a compromise point to what are the functions that you're going to provide to the users versus ease of use. More granularity in terms of the data and the things that you can do to the devices would be helpful. For example, when we wanted to make a change, restriction, or segregation within Palo Alto, we can go to the level of detail that we want. The amount of detail provided is amazing, it is very granular. However, it comes with much more difficulty, it requires a technical understanding of the environment compared to Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN."
"The initial setup was simple. However, the full deployment could be easier."
"The cost of the devices and the solution itself could be more competitive."
"The captive portal should be more customizable because right now, it is very limited."
"In Cisco, there is a configuration where it automatically switches from the 2.4 GHz to 5.2 GHz frequency. But with Ruckus, usually, we need to manually define whether we want to use the 2.4 GHz or 5.2 GHz."
"Pricing is an area for improvement. The devices are relatively expensive."
"Of course, we'd always like it to be cheaper, but that's for every product."
"There is a significant issue with wireless functionality in Apple devices, particularly during video calls."
"We have one sole distributor here in our region. To have multiple distributors here would be very helpful to improve the supply chain."
"It would be nice to some analytical features built into this solution."
"I would like to see the billing system improved by adding a billing system integration."
