Provides a lifetime warranty, is reliable, has good technical support, and includes security features
The stability is excellent. It comes with a lifetime warranty. Even if you're going through a difficult patch. If there is a failure in that scenario, it is very minor. We were never encountered that, but If it happens, it's probably due to a web party, such as a power fluctuation. Even our power supply includes a hardware replacement. As a result, there are no issues with the even power supply's lifetime warranty. In the general market, other competitor products, the power supply will not be covered, even though we are covering the power supply with a hardware replacement warranty. Which is where we have an advantage. Security features are included.

Reliable Wi-Fi deployment handles extreme conditions and reduces maintenance
The only bad downside to Ruckus Wireless WAN is that the guest network is poorly conceived. This is a known issue. There are ways to make the guest network work reliably, but not as promised. That's the only downside to Ruckus Wireless WAN access points - they have a weak guest system and guest portal, but everything else is the best of the best. If I did not have access to Ruckus Wireless WAN support, I think I would have failed. One downside they have now is that you no longer have access to the support folks without a contract. That has changed over many years. That would be really unfortunate because I remember struggling. The company was very hungry at that point and they were very willing to help. Now support requires a contract. That comes with all growing companies.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"When you go on the website, everything is clear and you don't have to ask questions."
"The tool can work without distributor architecture or seller access points."
"The stability is excellent."
"The tool is friendly to use."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of adding an access point."
"Ruckus Wireless WAN appears to perform better in less than optimal situations."
"The solution is suitable for many types of environments, such as small businesses."
"It’s reliable."
"The performance of this solution is amazing in terms of radiofrequency technology."
"The actual wireless access points themselves are very powerful."
"Having all the management tools in a cloud-based solution has been valuable, eliminating the need to deploy and manage an on-premises controller."
 

Cons

"Alcatel-Lucent Teldat needs to reduce its price."
"The price could be reduced."
"I would like to see something for remote working."
"The technical support in our region is lacking. When we seek support, the service we expect is not promptly delivered, which can be time-consuming."
"I believe there is room for improvement in the price structure."
"The solution could be more stable."
"I have some friends who have not heard of Ruckus, but are aware of other competitors."
"The wireless access should be simplified."
"Really, it's just about centralizing manageability across multiple sites, but like I said, that's me commenting on the old product that we've got. I know they've addressed that now with cloud controllers, but that would've been my main thing."
"Ruckus Wireless WAN is overpriced. Compared to others at the moment, Ruckus Wireless WAN does not have many valuable features."
"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 and Cost Advice

"The solution's licensing costs are one-time. It is not expensive. I rate its pricing a four out of ten. It provides us with a lifetime warranty."
"There is a one-time licensing fee. There is no need to renew it."
"I don't find this solution expensive but pricing is relative."
"This product is worth the money that is spent on licensing fees."
"It is less expensive than Aruba and Cisco."
"In terms of the license of Ruckus Wireless WAN being cheap or expensive, it would differ based on your country. As I'm living in Turkey, it's expensive, so far. There is a big challenge about the chip crisis or the silicon crisis lately, and all vendors are fighting, so not enough equipment could be sold and the vendors must earn money, so it's very fair for vendors to push software and licensing to keep working and earning, so it's hard to answer a question on how cheap or expensive the license is for the solution."
"This solution offers a yearly subscription. The price is not high, other solutions are much higher than Ruckus."
"There is an annual license needed to use this solution. The pricing model is based on how many access points are used."
"The cost is quite high, and over the past year, there has been a substantial increase, nearly reaching around seventy percent."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The solution is very competitively priced."
