We performed a comparison between Cambium Networks Wireless LAN and Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The simplicity is great."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."
"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."
"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."
"The after-sales services are helpful."
"It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure."
"There are many valuable features of Cisco Meraki, including the switches, stacking, and layer 3 routing."
"The monitoring device enables you to see the network health."
"The most valuable thing to me is the stability of the product."
"I like the status page Cisco added that shows you the health of the wireless connection."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN are the ease of use and the ability to manage it from the cloud."
"Its management is most valuable. It is the major feature of Meraki."
"The most important feature is flexibility."
"I have found the scalability to be very good."
"The solution is expensive."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The price could be better."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available."
"The capacity and coverage could be improved."
"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."
"Not a lot of technical engineers are familiar with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. They are familiar with implementing and using other solutions such as Aruba. Therefore, Cambium Networks needs to be more visible in the marketplace."
"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."
"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."
"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."
"It would be useful to have a service management platform integrated within this solution where we can measure the customer experience."
"Integration with the corporate LAN where Catalyst products are installed is a major challenge."
"The price could be slightly better, but then again, we negotiate deals every time so the market price isn't really relevant."
"An area for improvement would be that Meraki doesn't work well in a warehouse environment. The device is too sensitive to other wireless devices, which provokes noise and can require a reboot to erase this."
"The way Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN groups certain things, as far as the devices for either monitoring and or configuring them should be done better. They should be grouped a little bit differently because if I want to configure something, a different setting on an SSID, I have to go to their specific area where I would have thought it should be clumped as a dropdown menu in another area."
"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."
"There's nothing that special about it."
"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."
