Reliable connectivity and robust support enhance customer experience

We are working with version 2.0, which is usually the latest one.Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is 100% reliable, as I have never faced any issues in our deployment after deployment, and the support is also very good. It takes a maximum of 15-20 minutes to configure one particular site of Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. The usual deployment process involves inspecting the hardware at our warehouse, dispatching it to the customer location, where the vendor installs the access point, and once it has internet, the configuration will be directly pushed from the cloud to the access point, making it up and running. Currently, around 100 plus of my customers are using this solution. My customers are a mix of medium and enterprise businesses. The least amount my customers usually pay is around $1,000, and the largest amount is approximately $10,000 per year. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Cambium Networks Wireless LAN a 9 overall.

Reasonably priced product with a straightforward deployment process

I never thought about what could be made better in the product since my company is a customer-centric organization where we provide Aruba or NETGEAR, depending on the demands and needs of our customers. The product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward. It would be great if it was possible to send notifications regarding some errors related to the product that can be sent from our company to our clients through the organization's post-sales team.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."

"The product's initial setup phase is very simple and involves just a PnP process."

"What I like best about Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is that it's easy to configure, has no licensing hassle, and is a controller-based solution."

"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN was highly scalable, allowing deployment of fewer access points while covering more area, adapting well with the evolution of wireless standards."

"Cambium is more economical compared to Cisco or Ruckus, which makes it suitable for budget-conscious customers."

"It is a stable and secure platform."

"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."

"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."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN pros

"The meshing capabilities are the most valuable feature. When I am going in-between buildings, my phone doesn't have to pick up different WiFi. They are all the same. Even in-between the buildings, I stay connected."

"[Being] able to configure the WiFi devices and to see utilization remotely, or from the cloud."

"The initial setup of NETGEAR Insight Access Points was straightforward."

"We use NETGEAR's Insight management solution to do off-property controls. It is user-friendly and provides network management, monitoring, and service deployment across multiple remote and local sites. That means I don't have to be physically at a location to do things if I want to make any changes to the network. It saves time and money."

"The product's deployment is straightforward."

"Our company sometimes uses the solution's technical support, and we have seen that they sort out our general problems quickly."

"I now have the ability to remote access my network. That works extremely well. I can access it from any place. I don't need to be physically at the device. This saves me on time and travel."

"The metrics demonstrate that NETGEAR really does a good job of balancing the load between the various access points on the networks and this results in an elimination of downtime."

Cons

"I believe there's room for improvement in the configuration options for point-to-point setups directly from the cloud management interface. Currently, the process feels a bit clunky—you monitor the unit in the cloud but need to make configuration changes by editing a text file, then downloading it back to the unit. This method can be error-prone, as even a small mistake in the text file could disrupt the unit's configuration."

"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."

"The platform's cost needs improvement."

"The direct technical support from Cambium teams needs to be improved."

"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."

"The capacity and coverage could be improved."

"The solution’s technical support could be faster."

"Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN cons

"There is always room for improvement."

"The biggest issue I've had is that it works very well with the WiFi, but it does not offer any assistance at all with the routers. You can't control them or manage them at all. As soon as you want to use anything on the network side—because I have multiple 28-port switches—you can't manage them using this app."

"My major problem is right now, the area which I need to cover is around 7,000 to 10,000 square feet...I would like NETGEAR Insight Access Points to extend the area coverage they provide."

"I have some frustrations with the ease of use. It tends to be sluggish. The graphical interface is pretty, but not useful. They have this tree that shows connected devices, which makes no sense whatsoever because the labeling field of the tree truncates all the items to the point that it's almost useless. You can't even tell what it is. I would prefer a spreadsheet list of the gear as opposed to a graphical representation."

"While the data throughput does provide us with full insight into data being used, we find that it's not very accurate."

"The pricing and standard connectivity can be further improved."

"Ubiquiti is a very good company. NETGEAR should look at that model and expand on its remote capabilities. Ubiquiti seems to have a better product."

"Due to certain shortcomings in the solution's stability, I feel that the solution's stability requires improvement."

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN has a moderate pricing."

"It's a good price, but not the best price. It's on the higher end of what I would call affordable for small to medium-sized businesses."

"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten."

"The pricing for Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is much cheaper than Meraki. For example, I have to pay $200 for one AP from Cambium, while for a Meraki AP, I have to pay $450 including the user license. Meraki has a higher price over Cambium Networks Wireless LAN."

"The pricing and licensing might vary based on each country's specific needs and telecommunication regulations."

"High-end products from Cambium PTP, point-to-point radio, maybe cost around $1000 per year."

"The licensing costs for this solution are calculated per asset, and depending on the model of the equipment, it starts at $230, and goes up to roughly $1,200. The benefit of this solution is that there are no hidden costs; no cost for managing the equipment, and no cost for maintaining the equipment during its usable lifetime."

"I would place it in the mid-range market segment, balancing affordability and profitability."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN pricing and cost advice

"It is an expensive solution."

"I can source the stuff pretty quickly wherever I go through the distributor. There is pricing available at NETGEAR if you can spend between $2,000 and $5,000 on a solution. So, there is special pricing that they can help with. The vendor's reps are very responsive. They have a good channel system."

"The pricing seems to be reasonable."

"For what you get, the price of Insight access points is very reasonable."

"It wasn't much more than 100 dollars a year. For the devices that we have, the pricing was pretty fair."

"We have some basic models they give without a license."

"I think that the price of the product is reasonable."

"Price-wise, it is a little too high, about $20 higher than what it should be, but it's worth it. It's cheaper than Cisco's access point, but the products are not apples to apples."
