Cons
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""The solution is expensive.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""The price could be better.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"There is room for improvement in the pricing model.""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.""Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available.""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.""I believe there's room for improvement in the configuration options for point-to-point setups directly from the cloud management interface. Currently, the process feels a bit clunky—you monitor the unit in the cloud but need to make configuration changes by editing a text file, then downloading it back to the unit. This method can be error-prone, as even a small mistake in the text file could disrupt the unit's configuration.""The product pricing needs improvement.""The solution’s technical support could be faster.""The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN Cons →

"The management portal is in need of improvement.""The onsite controllers are not as good as the cloud controller. I would also like ExtremeWireless to add web filtering on the access point. This feature is available from other vendors but not ExtremeWireless.""The cost is a little high.""ExtremeWireless support isn't very good.""The reports could prove in ExtremeWireless. However, we are in the early stages of use and we might be able to configure them better.""In the next release, I would like to see more security features.""The solution must include integrated IoT solutions on their wireless APs.""The ability to integrate with network devices from other vendors would be helpful."

  • "High-end products from Cambium PTP, point-to-point radio, maybe cost around $1000 per year."
  • "It's a good price, but not the best price. It's on the higher end of what I would call affordable for small to medium-sized businesses."
  • "The pricing for Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is much cheaper than Meraki. For example, I have to pay $200 for one AP from Cambium, while for a Meraki AP, I have to pay $450 including the user license. Meraki has a higher price over Cambium Networks Wireless LAN."
  • "In general, the way we purchased it was we purchased it at the beginning, was with five years of support, once our initial cost was met, we didn't have to pay for anything else."
  • "The licensing costs for this solution are calculated per asset, and depending on the model of the equipment, it starts at $230, and goes up to roughly $1,200. The benefit of this solution is that there are no hidden costs; no cost for managing the equipment, and no cost for maintaining the equipment during its usable lifetime."

  • "The purchase of 350 access points cost approximately $250,000 USD."
  • "The solution is priced well and we currently are only paying for a license for maintenance."
  • "Our access points device is at its end of life. I can buy one more and then I must buy a new device, but if it is a new device it will not support the old virtual appliance. I would need to upgrade our virtual appliance to the next version or build a new virtual appliance with new devices, and it's not good for us. The overall licensing subscription could be better."
  • "The price of the solution overall is expensive. Additionally, the controller and license are expensive. We pay for an annual subscription."
  • "Extreme isn't the most expensive, but it's not a low-cost solution, and because there are no big volumes, you don't receive significant discounts, making the final price higher."
  • "I rate the price of Extreme Wireless a three out of five."
  • "It's not as expensive as some and is scalable to our needs."
