manager at SSDU Innovations | 4.5 | We use Ruckus Wireless for our office and co-working space, valuing its AI scalability and cost-effective management reports. While considering Wi-Fi 7 access points for longer reporting, we switched from Cisco Meraki to Ruckus Cloud, excluding Fortinet in favor of Sophos. |
Head Of Technical Services at Emtelle | 4.5 | I utilize Ruckus for its advanced networking solutions, which excel in performance and reliability, featuring auto channelization and beam reuse. Improvements needed include more admin flexibility and enhanced authentication options, especially for Dynamic Pre-Shared Key usage. |
IT Manager at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees | 5.0 | Ruckus Wireless offers impressive range and speed, requiring fewer access points and achieving near-Ethernet speeds. However, innovation stalled after CommScope's acquisition. Despite higher power usage, Ruckus's reliable, fast Wi-Fi makes Ethernet less attractive. Logs and alerts improve management significantly. |
IT Manager at Oberoi | 4.0 | I use Ruckus Wireless for internet connectivity in high-density environments like restaurants and bars. It enhances the guest experience by allowing real-time social media activity. However, its pricing is a barrier to hardware upgrades. I've also used Meraki, Aruba, and D-Link. |
Director at KCTV Jeju | 4.5 | We use Ruckus Wireless for public Wi-Fi services, and its signal combining and team forming features effectively boost signal strength and network performance. However, there is room for improvement in their technical support and handling of technical issues. |
Networks Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees | 1.5 | I use Ruckus Wireless for residential services due to its valuable mesh networking and antenna features. However, improvements are needed in Wi-Fi 6E, cloud capabilities, and technical support. While Ruckus is expensive, it performs well compared to cheaper alternatives. |
Assistant Manager-Networks at Amrita | 5.0 | No summary available |
CIO at Vätterleden Invest AB | 5.0 | I use Ruckus Wireless in my company's warehouse and office because it's easy to set up, works flawlessly, and is essential for business operations. Although manual access point setup remains, we prefer it over Cisco due to its cost-effectiveness and simplicity. |
