"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The simplicity is great."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is that it is fast and does the job."
"It is cloud-based. It has a GUI rather than a command line, and it just works."
"What I like best about Meraki is that I can change it from anywhere."
"This product has allowed us to easily create custom SSIDs for clients and carve out the necessary bandwidth for clients needs."
"This product offers cloud-based configuration, so you can set it up from anywhere."
"It's a stable product."
"The most valuable features are the management tools, including monitoring and reporting."
"It is easy to set up. You can do everything on the GUI. You don't need to trace cables. You don't need to connect to the switch. Everything is there, right in front of you."
"The solution is easy to use and offers good management for wireless."
"One of the standout features is the ease of installation and commissioning, making the whole process very straightforward."
"One of its notable advantages lies in the superior performance of its antennas and radios."
"Radio management is a valuable feature of the solution."
"It's highly scalable as long as the licenses are in place. You can expand it easily."
"One of the best features of Ruckus Wireless WAN that customers are interested in is the adaptive antenna called BeamFlex. Ruckus Wireless WAN also has the best management platform, and even if there are thousands of users of the solution, it's very easy to manage on Ruckus Wireless WAN. It can also support third-party equipment. It's an all-in-one solution and it has IoT and secure access capabilities. Upgrading the network to Ruckus Wireless WAN is also easy."
"The most valuable feature of Ruckus Wireless WAN is the antenna technology."
"We found the technical support to be helpful."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"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."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The price could be better."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The licensing isn't very customer-centric. They may have improved it, but previously, if you forgot to pay on a certain day, your service would be shut off."
"I would like to see more cybersecurity. I would like the ability to go in and enhance security. Because WPA2 is becoming obsolete, many devices are now WPA3, but the challenge is that a lot of devices are not yet there. I would like to be able to go in and do monitoring, similar to ASPM. ASPM has the ability to monitor who's joining and who's active. It supports two-step monitoring. The stability of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN can also be improved."
"There is a processing limitation when you have multiple SSIDs, above three or four."
"Recently I have seen that the Meraki access point, maybe due to congestion, just kicks off my customers, mostly when they are in Zoom meetings or Teams meetings and they have to reconnect."
"Initially, I liked some of the filtering features, but that's one of the components that we ran into problems with."
"Its price should be reduced."
"The only concern is when the license has expired and it will no longer function, the entire network goes down, without any notification, or warning."
"I'd like better integration with security providers."
"We had a problem with the delivery of the solution."
"Ruckus Wireless WAN needs to improve its pricing."
"We have one sole distributor here in our region. To have multiple distributors here would be very helpful to improve the supply chain."
"The GUI interface of Ruckus Wireless WAN could be more usable, especially the drag-and-drop feature."
"I have some friends who have not heard of Ruckus, but are aware of other competitors."
"Pricing could be improved in Ruckus Wireless WAN because obviously, everybody wants things to become cheaper. Another room for improvement in the product is from a delivery perspective, particularly the heavy delivery delays because of the chip shortage that a lot of manufacturers have to deal with. The chip shortage is not coming to an end, but Ruckus Networks has to make a plan because the ETA has slipped out from the average of three months on switches to fourteen months, which is very, very rough on the industry at the moment. Ruckus Wireless WAN could lose business to Chinese competitors, for example, HTC has a good wireless solution that I haven't tested yet, other than on POC, and it works great. I haven't yet experienced the HTC wireless solution in large deployments, so you never know how it's going to go, but HTC has managed to circumvent the chip shortage, so the ETA provided by HTC is much more preferred than the ETAs provided by Ruckus Networks, Cisco, and Aruba products."
"I would not consider this solution to be stable."
"The solution could be more stable."
