More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pros →

"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months.""They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool.""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.""This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with.""We can scale it if we need to.""The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability.""The after-sales services are helpful."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN Pros →

"Unlike the Cisco solution that needs a dedicated wireless controller outside of a firewall, SonicWall has everything in one box. Fortinet is close to it.""A good management tool that can be managed through the cloud or firewall.""The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to provide cloud access to configure and manage devices."

Cons
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""The solution is expensive.""The price could be better.""They should include SD-WAN features to it."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The capacity and coverage could be improved.""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.""The solution’s technical support could be faster.""Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing.""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.""If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release.""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."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN Cons →

"We have a lot of overlapping wireless networks with a lot of cheap equipment that does not run on any rules or regulations. The best way to improve the wireless network, like in SonicWaves, is to defeat these networks by isolating, preventing them, or overcoming their wireless signal. We try to do that, but I live near an airport, and the AirPortRadar glitches my wireless network every nine seconds.""The product's pricing is high and could be improved.""Integrating with the firewall and management console was a little complex."
