"It is easy to deploy, and it is not that complicated. There are a lot of systems that are very complicated, and they require a special kind of training. Their response is also very slow, especially with the Chinese vendors, but with Cambium, we have not faced any issues. Everything is going well in terms of cooperation from Cambium. We are happy with them, their services, their cooperation, and their quick response. They are just amazing."
"It is easy to deploy and has many specialists to help us handle complicated processes."
"The initial setup of Cambium is straightforward."
"It is highly scalable. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"It excels in challenging environments and adverse weather conditions, maintaining high performance without any impact on the link quality."
"It's a good product and works well when there is a lot of interference."
"The most valuable features of Cambium Networks Wireless WAN are cloud management and links."
"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 like the simplicity, the ease of use."
"It has a decent portal, and it is usable."
"The indoor WiFi connection works well."
"It's a well priced solution and as far as I'm concerned, it's enterprise class."
"The failure rate is very low on these devices - I've had them installed for five years and have only lost one out of a hundred."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"Easy to set up and maintain and simple to configure."
"The solution offers us good situational awareness by providing information on user activity, signal strength, and all the data that you need to manage the system and understand issues."
"Cambium's solution is flexible for various connectivity needs, although there are limitations based on the specific equipment and metrics. The indoor coverage typically reaches up to sixty meters and may require external antennas for optimal performance and for outdoor connectivity, Cambium Networks offer excellent scalability and coverage, especially with sectorial access points."
"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 Cambium user interface and configuration should be improved."
"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."
"The installation is difficult."
"The product could have more access points to increase the network coverage."
"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN could improve by providing a better signal range."
"The technical support is less than stellar."
"Performance could be improved in the solution because when I compare it with Ruckus and other APs, some of those APs are better performing, so you don't have to deploy too many APs to get the same level of Wi-Fi coverage and stability. It's not about how many clients the solution can handle, but it is more about stability and coverage. Another room for improvement in Ubiquiti Wireless, compared to other brands, is that it doesn't do well when used in an office network. It has a limitation on how reliable the AP of the system is."
"Ubiquiti is also slow to adopt new technologies. We are transitioning to Wi-Fi 6, and there aren't many products. They have mostly Wi-Fi 5 products, but there are only two Wi-Fi 6 products. It's okay for places we have already equipped, but it's a bit hard for new places."
"We have an issue with Ubiquiti Wireless every three to five months for one of the access points."
"Ubiquiti Wireless could improve by being more user-friendly and easy to use."
"Their stock is a bit low compared to others, making it difficult to purchase."
"We'd like them to improve aspects of device management."
"After upgrades to the interface, some features disappear."
