"Ruckus Wireless WAN is an easy-to-use solution."
"The performance of this solution is amazing in terms of radiofrequency technology."
"I made some comparisons with other competitors and I found that Ruckus was number one in regards to stability."
"Its build quality is good and quite robust."
"What I like best about Ruckus Wireless WAN is easy administration. After installation, you'll benefit from how easy it is to administer the product. I also like that the product can cover the whole area with just a few endpoints."
"The stability provided is very nice."
"Radio management is a valuable feature of the solution."
"The deployment access in the local system is about 200 access points. External access points is more. The number is huge. There about 1,000 users in total."
"One of the nice features is the backup version control."
"What I found most valuable in Ubiquiti Wireless is that it's priced competitively, compared to other brands available in the market. From a price competitiveness standpoint, it's a product I would recommend. I also find Ubiquiti Wireless quite reliable, at least for me using it as a home access point, it seems to serve its purpose. I also like that with Ubiquiti Wireless, you can build a very modular network, so you could change out your router to use a Ubiquiti router if you want to. The solution also has gateway equipment and all, so I like the modular concept of Ubiquiti Wireless. Another feature I find valuable in the solution is monitoring. It is pretty good. For example, as a home user, I have the unified app on my computer, so I'm able to watch how my APs are performing."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is easy to use, it's stable and flexible, and the performance is great. It is scalable as well."
"The failure rate is very low on these devices - I've had them installed for five years and have only lost one out of a hundred."
"In general, the setup process is straightforward."
"Ubiquiti is intuitive. The management interface is user-friendly. You can easily make changes and do the things that need to be done."
"They are reliable in terms of wireless connectivity."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is a reasonably priced, easy to use, stable and reliable product."
"It would be nice to some analytical features built into this solution."
"The pricing, when compared to Ubiquiti, isn't competitive enough. If you want to have a Government or Public sector client they will ask why they should pay 200 euros if they can get something for 40 euros."
"The solution could use a better user interface."
"The connectivity and mobility for users could be improved."
"The GUI interface of Ruckus Wireless WAN could be more usable, especially the drag-and-drop feature."
"Integration with AirMagnet, the design software, would be good because it takes the layout of a building and positions the access points accordingly, based on the areas and the construction materials."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Of course, we'd always like it to be cheaper, but that's for every product."
"The technical support is less than stellar."
"I would like to see more cloud features that some of the other competitors such as Cisco Meraki have that are very nice."
"My company has to wait for a response from the product's support team. From an improvement perspective, the product's support team should be quicker to respond."
"Ubiquiti Wireless could improve by being more user-friendly and easy to use."
"The product lacks to offer reliability to users."
"This might not be the best solution for a very large organization."
"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."
"A contract solution with 24/7 support would greatly benefit users, especially in critical situations requiring immediate assistance."
