Cambium Networks Wireless WAN Reviews

We use the platform to increase Wi-Fi coverage.

The product is inexpensive and has a free controller feature. It is easy to deploy and has many specialists to help us handle complicated processes.

The product could have more access points to increase the network coverage. They should introduce programs, workshops, or documentation to share knowledge about the primary principles.

We have been using Cambium Networks Wireless WAN since 2018.

I rate the product’s stability a seven out of ten.

It is a scalable product. There are license fees or additional licenses for application. I rate its scalability a ten out of ten.

The initial setup is easy once the infrastructure is ready. I rate the process an eight out of ten. It requires two technicians to execute and 30 minutes to complete. It involves configuring on-premise servers, creating new IP addresses, and starting with the work.

I rate the product’s pricing a two out of ten.

I rate Cambium Networks Wireless WAN a seven out of ten. It is inexpensive and easy to deploy. I recommend it to someone planning to deploy a solution on a limited budget.

Cambium Networks Wireless WAN can improve the price.

I have been using Cambium Networks Wireless WAN for approximately two long.

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.

Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is scalable. The XV2 model of the solution can support up to 216 people at a time.

The initial setup of Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is not complex if you know the basics of the configuration.

I rate the initial setup of Cambium Networks Wireless WAN a four out of five.

I did some training with an expert from the Cambium Networks Wireless WAN team. They thought me how to configure and set up the solution. From this knowledge, I did the full deployment myself.

The price of this solution is expensive in Bangladesh. The cost is approximately 56,000 BDT for the XV2 which is expensive. They should reduce their price.

It would be better if the price was 35,000 BDT.

I rate the price of Cambium Networks Wireless WAN a three out of five.

My advice to others is they should choose the cloud version of Cambium instead of going with Unify or Aruba. Unify is not too stable because I found that when the user capacity pushes through the limit, then the hardware is already malfunctioning and then the WiFi speed is decreased. This is why we have shifted Unify to this solution. We now use this solution in a total of seven offices. 

Everything has been working fine and we have support from the cloud portal is completely free and you can create multiple sites, and multiple networks. When you configure one single file and you can set the serial number to the cloud portal and the configuration is automatic. The solution is very good.

I rate Cambium Networks Wireless WAN a seven out of ten.

The version I am using involves the model I am utilizing for testing. 

We use the solution for data sharing and file sending. We test any environment when it comes to sharing among people who are roaming. 

I did not like this solution from the get go and have no interest in it, as it is entirely not good for the end-user. 

There are no features that I have found to be most valuable. The solution offers no features that cannot be found in other products. 

In the three to four months since I started testing the product I have found its performance to be lacking and it to be very difficult and complicated. The interface is difficult. 

The Cambium user interface and configuration should be improved. The configuration is very complicated and not user friendly.

The solution should be BLE enabled. In a recent review I conducted of Cisco 9115 and Cisco 9100 it came to my attention that both of these products are BLE enabled.

We have been testing Cambium for three to four months. 

One could say that the solution is stable. 

One could say that Cambium is a scalable solution. 

It is not being extensively used, although we do have plans to increase the usage.  

Technical support is not very good. It's very hard to initiate the technical support. One would have to make a huge effort in this areas since we are talking about a new product that nobody is familiar with. This will take time. If a person were to open a car manufacturing plant, he would expect the product to provide support of after sales service, Yet, if the technical support were not good the question would arise as to whether he would wish to buy the product again. 

The initial setup was complex.

The user interface is very complicated and not well defined. Configuring is very difficult. In contrast, Cisco is very straightforward and user-friendly when it comes to installation and configuration. 

The duration of the deployment depends on the person's knowledge. 

We made use of a consultant for the deployment. Our experience with him was what one would typically expect. 

When it comes to licensing costs we have been using the Cambium devices on a trial basis. 

I am not comfortable with Cambium because it will take time for it to attain the viability in the user market that Cisco has, which is a market leader geared for large enterprises. This will only change once Cambium provides a big boost and makes the necessary changes needed to have a very good user product. But, Cisco is Cisco.

We have ten users making use of the solution. While five departments will deploy a single Cambium device, the same users are using it.

My advice to others is that the configuration should be user-friendly and uncomplicated. 

I rate Cambium as a five out of ten. 

There are many valuable features like Trinity, which is a functional virtual assistant, user-defined policies, and provides compliance reporting. 

There are multiple features depending on the user's requirements. The dashboard is pretty good, and it serves us well.

Pricing is a big one. We can make it more competitive. Other things I can see are SQL and the slide on the top. And pricing. Cambium add more features to the SQL functionality.

Basically, the process of working with switching switches is a source bundle. Cambium add more features to the record server.

I have been using this solution for six months.

It is a stable solution. It has very good stability. I would rate it a ten out of ten. 

There are around 20 to 30 users at a time. It is highly scalable. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

There is room for improvement in the support. As for the MPMs (Managed Performance Metrics) on the pricing portal, no one was there to guide me on how to access the pricing information.

I needed the support to be more hands-on. I would have liked a video tutorial training. 

Neutral

I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

The deployment took one to two working days. There was a team who deployed the solution. However, I am the only one who maintains the solution.

Honestly, compared to other brands, I would rate Cambium seven on pricing, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.

I would recommend using the solution. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

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.

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. 

I would like to see some type of blocker device. I need to block certain devices that should not be present in my organization or in my network.

We have been using Cambium for three years.

This is a stable solution.

The scalability is good. 

I think support could be better and more efficient. 

The initial setup was very easy and only took about five minutes. 

There is no licensing cost, just the initial fee for the solution.

I also evaluated Meraki.

I give this product a seven out of ten. 

This is a cost-effective solution and you can get many benefits from it, but you don't get 100% of what you need. You're getting 70 to 80 percent benefit with the Cambium, as opposed to other solutions that cost more. 

In my company, we use the AP mode of Cambium Networks Wireless WAN since there is no use of a wireless controller.

The solution's coverage range is good, it is easy to use, and deployment is very easy and user-friendly.

Sometimes, I have found some roaming issues related to the solution. I did not blame Cambium for the aforementioned issue I found in the product since it is an overall good solution.

If someone wants to go to the location-based portal of the product, like the one available in Meraki, it would not be possible, and it is an area that needs improvement. Cambium Networks Wireless WAN's dependencies on third-party API integrations is an area with scope for improvement.

I have been using Cambium Networks Wireless WAN for a year.

The solution's stability is okay.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight to eight and a half out of ten.

It is a scalable solution.

In my company, 40 to 45 users handle the product.

If the number of users increases, the performance of the access point will decrease. If the number of clients and users who use the solution increases, then they can get another access point for themselves.

For the wireless solution, I didn't use any support from Cambium, so I don't have any idea about Cambium's support.

The product is easy to deploy.

The product's setup phase is easy since you just need to connect to the wireless solution, go to the dashboard, and do some access point configuration, which is a very easy process.

During the deployment process, you just connect to the access points and do the access point configuration, which is a very easy deployment process.

The product's deployment phase for one access point takes an hour and a half.

In our company, one of our in-house teams takes care of the product's deployment process.

The licensing part of the solution is not very expensive.

Another option for Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is from D-Link. My company chose Cambium, considering the comfort that the product's stability and pricing areas provide us over other tools.

I can recommend the solution to those who plan to use it, but it all depends on the budget of those who want to buy it.

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

It is a good product for cloud management.

Cambium Networks Wireless WAN's support services could be better.

It is an easy-to-sale platform.

The technical support could be better.

Positive

The initial setup is very easy and requires zero maintenance.

Cambium Networks Wireless WAN has medium pricing.

I rate Cambium Networks Wireless WAN a nine out of ten.

We use the solution as an internet service provider to the end-user, individual user, for direct collaboration, and in the government offices. 

Cambium is really nice. I used to use Ubiquiti and that solution was fine for a while. However, Cambium is better because as they have eEPMP 400. In Africa, you need a low price. You also need to get a lot of customers.

In terms of performance, even in small items, everything is very good.

The initial setup is easy to handle. It's quite simple.

The solution isn't as well known in the country. Most people are more familiar with Ubiquiti, and that solution has a lot of other options. 

Pricing isn't ideal and could be improved.

The solution can sometimes be very slow and clunky.

The solution needs to add an LTE solution and/or something in 3.5GHz.

I originally started working with the solution in 2014. It's been a number of years now since I was first introduced to the solution.

The solution is quite stable. It's very reliable for our clients. It doesn't crash or freeze. It doesn't seem to have bugs or glitches.

That said, sometimes, for streaming in the country, we have issues. They're just minor. It's not a big problem.

The solution is quite scalable. If a company needs to expand the solution, they should be able to.

I've never personally dealt with technical support, therefore I can't speak to their level of service.

We've used Ubiquiti in the past and prefer Cambium over Ubiquiti. There were a lot of problems previously and customers were complaining it wasn't working right, so we had to abandon Ubiquiti. Now the customers seem to be content.

In some cases, we still use Ubiquiti, although it's rare now. We also occasionally use an AT&T PS 300.

The initial setup is not complex. It's very easy to implement.

The deployment is almost instantaneous. It only takes a minute.

You only need one person to handle deployment and maintenance.

We implement this solution for our clients as a service provider.

The solution is a bit pricey. There are extra costs, for example, for equipment or hardware that isn't included, such as cables, etc. It's not too expensive, however.

We're a service provider and a customer. We're working with an older version of the product. We have ePMP 2000 and we want to upgrade to 3000, which we will be doing soon. We plan to use the solution into the future.

I'd recommend the solution, and recommend everyone uses PMP.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. It's worked very well for us.
