"The technical support is 24/7 from the UA."
"The wireless controller and access points are valuable features."
"The web-based GUI is much simpler to use than similar products by Cisco."
"It delivers constantly, there is no break in the internet using these devices. It also automatically gets connected when the internet comes back. Failure is very low."
"Overall, it's a very strong solution."
"The after-sales services are helpful."
"It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure."
"They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool."
"What I like best about Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is that it's easy to configure, has no licensing hassle, and is a controller-based solution."
"It is a stable and secure platform."
"It offers features that are essential for an efficient and high-performance wireless LAN deployment, where capacity, coverage, and quality are optimized, and frequency bands are selected based on the specific needs of the network."
"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."
"The product has valuable throughput capabilities. It also has an inbuilt spectrum analyzer for stable connectivity."
"The price could be better."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"The solution is expensive."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"I would like to see the management improve."
"MAC authentication against an external Radius server while using 802.1X. This feature will help the L2 devices to authenticate via external Radius servers."
"Improvements to the GUI, such as being able to search in the Mobility Master, would be nice."
"Aruba’s poor performance and random upgrade issues caused too much time consuming maintenance and troubleshooting."
"The support should be faster."
"What needs improvement in Aruba Wireless is its access point, in particular, it should have more flexibility. Aruba Wireless has Campus AP, Instant AP, and Unified AP, but it would be better if the product has a generic access point that you can manage over the cloud, on-premise, etc. Another area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is scalability. In terms of what additional features I'd like to see in the product, I'm unsure if it's already on the roadmap, but if possible, it would be good to have an SD-WAN functionality on the AP in Aruba Wireless."
"Their documentation needs to be improved. Aruba's documentation is poor."
"Because it's cloud-based, it takes time for the floor maps and the heat map to load."
"The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"
"The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness."
"What could be improved in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is its efficiency in large areas because we noticed that there's a need to increase the APs in large rooms or spaces for the Wi-Fi to be more efficient. Another area for improvement in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is bandwidth management. This is a feature that Meraki has that allows you to control user bandwidth, so my company has a pilot project to test Meraki Wireless LAN. Bandwidth control is an additional feature I'd like to see in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN as that would make the solution better."
"We would like this product to have more information data sheets available. At present we cannot easily access details around the full capability of a piece of equipment."
"The product pricing needs improvement."
"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."
"The platform's cost needs improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
