Improved network access management has reduced daily intervention and simplified onboarding
It was easy to integrate Ruckus Cloudpath with our existing network infrastructure. The distributor made the initial configurations and explained how to use them, and we are also receiving support from Ruckus Turkey. The learning curve of Ruckus is easier compared to similar products from HP in terms of UI. Once set up, it requires minimal intervention beyond monitoring.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The profiler option allows me to see every detail in a systematic manner from a switch. I can choose the switch and I can see the port NAC address and time."
"Ivanti NAC's most valuable feature is reasonable pricing."
"Integration with other vendors is possible."
"Ruckus technical support is very good and helpful whenever we need them."
"It was easy to integrate Ruckus Cloudpath with our existing network infrastructure."
"I find the solution to be very rich in features, including great guest authentication, authorization, port-string, and network access control."
"The tool's most valuable features include the phenomenal functionality of DPSK. The ease of use, particularly when it is correctly set up, is remarkably simple. Tracking users is straightforward and dynamic. This allows us to identify where a user might encounter issues within the process."
"We just started with CloudPath this year and the process went very well."
"The solution is easy to use, well designed, robust, and has good traffic capacity."
"Ruckus Cloudpath is very stable."
"The Ruckus Cloudpath product performs well, especially with its single plane of authentication capabilities."
 

Cons

"At some point, the server got cached and we faced several issues that impacted our customers. We would like to have this resolved."
"The product's performance needs improvement."
"The documentation needs to be improved. There are a lot of details that are missed which makes it confusing."
"The setup process is a bit complex."
"The main disadvantage is the price, as it is primarily a cost issue."
"The setup had a few initial small problems, however, everything was resolved and it is very good now."
"The tool needs to support multi-vendor environments. Currently, my experience with it has been primarily within Ruckus environments. However, I haven't explored it for multi-vendor scenarios. It would be great to see newer builds that are multi-vendor capable of full integration."
"Ruckus Cloudpath is not well known in my region, and I think it should be promoted more."
"I believe the solution is missing some great features which are present in other solutions like Aruba, UiPath, and Cisco ISE."
"Ruckus Cloudpath needs more API features and enhanced automation capabilities."
"The solution could improve by adding more detailed information that customers have available on the dashboards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is cost-effective."
"The cost was somewhere around $700 for the access points, however, there was a discount."
"The pricing is a little bit high."
"The licensing of the solution is user-based and the price is good."
"I would rate the tool's pricing as a seven on a scale of one to ten. Compared to others, it's not overly expensive, but it does come with a cost. Since it's a licensed-based product, it can become expensive, especially if there is a need for additional licenses."
