Pros

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.""The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."

"The product has valuable throughput capabilities. It also has an inbuilt spectrum analyzer for stable connectivity.""It is a stable and secure platform.""The cloud-based management provided by Cambium Networks is particularly valuable to us, as it allows us to efficiently manage Wi-Fi, point-to-point connections, firewalls, and switches across various locations from a centralized platform. This enables us to be proactive in providing support and ensures smooth operations for our clients.""Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months.""The product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization.""The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability.""The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial.""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 most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity.""It is easy to set up.""What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas.""It can scale.""The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup.""Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology.""The product is simple and easy to use.""It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself.

Cons
"The price could be better.""It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"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.""Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available.""The product pricing needs improvement.""The solution’s technical support could be faster.""The capacity and coverage could be improved.""Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing.""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.""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."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN Cons →

"The scalability could be a bit better.""Huawei Wireless is not scalable. We have had a problem with the solution because it cannot integrate with other servers as the other competitors can.""I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had.""There was one time I had a problem with their centralized licensing. I called the Indian call center, but the response was not that good. One guy attended this call and he told me, "Definitely, I am forwarding your call to the next level. I'll let you know." After that, it took between 10 to 15 hours before I got a call back. By then, we had already resolved the issue. Therefore, they could improve the local support; there should be at very good Tier 1 and 2 support in India. They should be both proactive and reactive.""I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use.""There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes.""The stability could be improved.""The solution needs to include a captive portal."
