SS
Manager at Hanvi Global Tech
A cost-effective cloud controller solution for real-time detection
Customers are increasingly focusing on seamless roaming between Dell Ruckus access points. They want to know how quickly and reliably their devices can switch connections as they move around, minimizing downtime and disruptions. Specifically, they are interested in the frequency and aggressiveness of roaming protocols, ensuring smooth transitions without disconnecting from the network. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

CEO at ajuntament del Prat
Reliable wireless coverage has supported busy operations and has improved daily connectivity
We have areas that are interference-prone. I am not using BeamFlex technology with Ruckus Wireless. We are satisfied, but there are some problems in the current Ruckus Wireless solution that we could not solve two years ago, and we are still waiting for a solution. These are lateral management problems, and we solved them with another type of tools. However, I do not know if the new versions of the product have resolved that issue. We had approximately 150 access points at that time, so we had many points to change. We had another solution five years ago, and we changed all the access points to Ruckus Wireless solution as well as the Ruckus Wireless platform to manage all the access points.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"My advice for anybody who is considering this solution is that they do not need to complete a proof of concept."
"The Ruckus SCI has transformed traditional network reporting into a vital business tool, collecting, analyzing, parsing, presenting, and storing unprecedented amounts of user, traffic, session, and location information."
"We used to struggle a lot doing the connectivity between the branch offices in port, Ruckus offers the flexibility to pull the connectivity and we can actually manage our workflow and application to this connectivity, and it is a wonderful way of doing things fast."
"All IPs can be managed and monitored by the customer from a single console."
"For me, the most valuable features are good integration with the customer's existing network and the ease of deployment and configuration. Ruckus products are also easy to learn to manage and deploy for not only our own staff, but also for the IT workers in the customer's organization."
"It's just been a solid performer for us."
"If you want Wi-Fi that will provide wireless connectivity that is good and stable, this is the solution to pick."
"The product does a very good job of covering specific areas using less equipment than other providers."
"At times of heavy network congestion, we can restrict the bandwidth available to clients either by SSID or at the client level, which helps cut down on our bandwidth costs."
 

Cons

"The security needs to be improved because we have had problems with people accessing our network using the VPN."
"There is some strain with Ruckus because of various buyouts involving the company used for data centers and the cluster."
"The current reporting is limited to 30 days, and it would be helpful if there was an option to extend it to one year."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The cost could be slightly improved. It's not on the low end, and it's not in the high end. It's in that middle area, which can be a deciding factor between someone going with this solution versus another one."
"I have not got any major problem using Ruckus, but the price and technical support could be better."
"It is extremely difficult to send videos in Ruckus live sessions. Zoom streaming, or using Teams Streaming live sessions to send videos, for example, could be more effective."
"We would like to see a better licensing model for our customers."
"The pricing needs to be more clear and licensing could be less expensive."
