Provides a lifetime warranty, is reliable, has good technical support, and includes security features
The stability is excellent. It comes with a lifetime warranty. Even if you're going through a difficult patch. If there is a failure in that scenario, it is very minor. We were never encountered that, but If it happens, it's probably due to a web party, such as a power fluctuation. Even our power supply includes a hardware replacement. As a result, there are no issues with the even power supply's lifetime warranty. In the general market, other competitor products, the power supply will not be covered, even though we are covering the power supply with a hardware replacement warranty. Which is where we have an advantage. Security features are included.

Reliable Wi-Fi deployment handles extreme conditions and reduces maintenance
The only bad downside to Ruckus Wireless WAN is that the guest network is poorly conceived. This is a known issue. There are ways to make the guest network work reliably, but not as promised. That's the only downside to Ruckus Wireless WAN access points - they have a weak guest system and guest portal, but everything else is the best of the best. If I did not have access to Ruckus Wireless WAN support, I think I would have failed. One downside they have now is that you no longer have access to the support folks without a contract. That has changed over many years. That would be really unfortunate because I remember struggling. The company was very hungry at that point and they were very willing to help. Now support requires a contract. That comes with all growing companies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When you go on the website, everything is clear and you don't have to ask questions."
"The tool can work without distributor architecture or seller access points."
"The stability is excellent."
"Ruckus has multiple radios. Therefore, it supports high speed for users and clients. Other vendors have fluctuations in speed. The main thing about Ruckus is that you can trust it and rely on its speed. I am simply satisfied with it."
"The connectivity, speed, and reliability are very good."
"The initial setup of Ruckus Wireless WAN is very easy."
"We use things like VLAN and all the multibeam features that are built in, but at the end of the day, the most important thing for us is to get a good signal and site-wide coverage."
"The solution is easy to use and offers good management for wireless."
"The feature I like most, is the product activity."
"Ruckus Wireless WAN is simple to use. Its coverage is better than other tools."
"The most valuable feature is the good coverage of about 60 meters."
 

Cons

"Alcatel-Lucent Teldat needs to reduce its price."
"The price could be reduced."
"I would like to see something for remote working."
"The technical support in our region is lacking. When we seek support, the service we expect is not promptly delivered, which can be time-consuming."
"Ruckus Wireless WAN is overpriced. Compared to others at the moment, Ruckus Wireless WAN does not have many valuable features."
"It would be nice to some analytical features built into this solution."
"The solution needs to offer more analytics."
"I have some friends who have not heard of Ruckus, but are aware of other competitors."
"I would like to see the billing system improved by adding a billing system integration."
"Ruckus Wireless WAN we have a lot of component shortages in the world. This has impacted deliveries. We have large back orders of the solution."
"The product needs to improve its latency and performance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't find this solution expensive but pricing is relative."
"There is a one-time licensing fee. There is no need to renew it."
"The solution's licensing costs are one-time. It is not expensive. I rate its pricing a four out of ten. It provides us with a lifetime warranty."
"We have to pay annually for the cloud licenses, so I think it'll be about 5,000 pounds a year moving forwards."
"Licensing for Ruckus Wireless WAN when you compare it to other vendors, it's on par and not expensive. For me, all licensing is expensive by default, but you do get lifelong licenses, and what's cool about it is the license for Ruckus Wireless WAN, especially on the LAN controller, is not linked to an access point. It's just a quantity access point deployment, so you can rip out old APs, and put new ones in and they'll work on the wireless LAN because the license is not linked to a specific access point which is much easier to work with."
"You have to pay for the controller with Ruckus, whereas with Ubiquiti, it comes for free."
"It possesses a favorable balance between quality and price."
"Compared with Cisco Wireless WAN, the pricing for Ruckus Wireless WAN is two out of five. Ruckus Wireless WAN is twice the price of Cisco Wireless WAN."
"Compared to big brands, the tool is quite competitively priced."
"In general, it is a packaged solution with analytics, support, and a cloud license. The pricing is acceptable for licensing the cloud for a bundle."
"This solution offers a yearly subscription. The price is not high, other solutions are much higher than Ruckus."
