Room For Improvement

Cambium Networks needs pricing, tech updates, better support, analytics, transparency, and new products to enhance competitiveness.

Channel management required manual intervention, especially in environments with multiple floors, leading to potential signal interference issues.
I would want more WiFi products, specifically WiFi indoor access point products.
Cambium currently lacks such extensive analytics capabilities.
Juniper products are still coming to market, HP offers its own access point range, which competes with Juniper's premium Mist access points intended for enterprise customers.
The reporting logs require improvement in terms of clarity.
I suggest that the AI tool in the Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points needs to be a little bit more ChatGPT-like, allowing easier communication in normal language instead of requiring specific prompts.

Cambium Networks Wireless LAN was well-priced, comparable and not the most expensive nor the cheapest option available.

Juniper Mist delivers scalable, AI-driven wireless access points with robust security, seamless connectivity, and efficient cloud management for enhanced user experience.
The product was scalable, allowing for fewer access points to cover more area, and supported a high number of clients.
Ruckus offers a more extensive coverage range and has better capacity to withstand interference, which I have experienced with Ruckus products.
The features of Cambium Networks Wireless LAN that I have found most valuable is cloud management, as Cambium has the feature for cloud control, and the UI is very easy, making managing access points and devices very easy in the cloud, which I found very useful.
I have gained valuable insights from the Mist Cloud's analytics and network insights, as it tells you a lot of things, including details about Microsoft Teams calls, identifying which calls were good or bad, and correlating that to the client's signal and which access point the client was connected to at the time.
From my perspective, the Juniper reporting logs are clear and provide necessary data, which supports better management and diagnosis.
It's a cloud solution with Mist, which helps troubleshoot and provides visibility to look at different access points.

Featured Reviews

Mike Scofield - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides efficient, controllerless setup and supports high client numbers
Cambium Networks Wireless LAN was well-priced and offered a controllerless setup, which was more unusual at the time we first used them. This meant they could operate independently without a controller, unlike many other products that required a controller. Also, they had a software-based controller or management system that we initially used. The product was scalable, allowing for fewer access points to cover more area, and supported a high number of clients. We were able to deploy them across multiple sites within a limited timeframe, thanks to their efficient setup process.
Raihan Hossain - PeerSpot reviewer
Consistently manages user capacity and satisfaction with ease
I have completed over twenty projects using Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points, and I continue to see exceptional performance in the areas of user capacity, user experience, and user satisfaction. This makes Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points highly recommended if the customer's budget allows, as the hardware performance is also very good. From my perspective, the Juniper reporting logs are clear and provide necessary data, which supports better management and diagnosis.
