Finally, users of Cambium feel that its stability could be improved.
"It excels in challenging environments and adverse weather conditions, maintaining high performance without any impact on the link quality."
"When we log in to the device, we can easily configure it. So it is quite user-friendly."
"The claim management feature is exceedingly simple."
"It eliminates the need for additional controllers, reducing costs."
"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is scalable. The XV2 model of the solution can support up to 216 people at a time."
"It's a good product and works well when there is a lot of interference."
"It is a good product for cloud management."
"The initial setup of Cambium is straightforward."
"Setting it up wasn't so complicated. It is reliable. Security-wise, we didn't have much trouble, but that could be due to our environment. We haven't had so many attacks, at least up till now."
"I like the simplicity, the ease of use."
"Easy to set up and maintain and simple to configure."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is extremely easy to set up."
"I like the fact that you can set it up like a wireless connection. Previously, we used to connect from one SSID to another. When we started using Ubiquiti, everyone was so happy because even if they moved from one place or another, say from the pantry to a meeting room, they didn't need to connect manually to another SSID. This is one of the features that I really like about it. It is doing a great job. It offers a free controller that you can use to see if the devices are connected or not and if they are up or down."
"We use the solution for many of our smaller customers and the cloud management aspect of the solution is very good. If you compare it to other vendors that have a controller, it's much easier to manage the cloud-based solution because we travel a lot. It allows us to manage everything from any place."
"The ease of the setup is one of its most valuable aspects."
"Installation is easy with seamless integration of additional APs."
"The range of the product is disappointing so far."
"Pricing tends to be higher than its competitors."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"The solution needs to add an LTE solution and/or something in 3.5GHz."
"The solution's price could be better."
"Cambium's solution is flexible for various connectivity needs, although there are limitations based on the specific equipment and metrics. The indoor coverage typically reaches up to sixty meters and may require external antennas for optimal performance and for outdoor connectivity, Cambium Networks offer excellent scalability and coverage, especially with sectorial access points."
"If they could move from the fixed wireless point to mobile, it will make a big change in the market. The cnPilot coverage should be covering big spaces. It should also have an external antenna, not a built-in antenna."
"I think this product could be improved if It were SMS based. If I have a visitor in my office, I'd like to be able to send them the wireless password as a message via SMS, so I don't have to give it out."
"We have an issue with Ubiquiti Wireless every three to five months for one of the access points."
"The solution needs to improve its features and offer more to the customer."
"A contract solution with 24/7 support would greatly benefit users, especially in critical situations requiring immediate assistance."
"We'd like the solution to be more stable and have fewer firmware upgrades."
"Tech support is mostly remote and could be better."
"The product lacks to offer reliability to users."
"o if you are setting up any other third party product or any other different product, it sometimes can be a bit difficult. With Ubiquiti, you need to set up because you can adopt the product and that's it, where if it's not a Ubiquiti product it can sometimes be a difficult setup."
"The range and maybe the quality of the signal can be improved. I had a feeling that the range wasn't long enough. Unfortunately, beyond a certain range, the signal was too weak. If I'm not mistaken, it must have been something like 100 or more than 100 meters, but I'm not sure. So, one improvement I wish for this equipment is to have a longer range, but that could mainly be due to the model we're using."
