Ruckus Wireless WAN Reviews

The product could benefit from features like Cisco's, such as improved zoning and analytics tools. A tool combining features from both Ruckus and Cisco would be ideal.

I have been working with Ruckus Wireless WAN for about two to three years.

My experience with technical support has been good. Issues, such as license imports, were resolved within half an hour.

Cisco excels in radio technology and troubleshooting, though it is more expensive. Ruckus is more cost-effective and user-friendly for basic needs.

Cisco is easier to integrate with third-party solutions due to my extensive experience. However, integration with Ruckus is also feasible.

The solution has been reliable in our setup.

The platform's key features that impact network performance are multiple SSIDs, local switching, and mesh functionality. However, mesh is not recommended for high-traffic environments.

Its benefits include efficient zone deployment and access point distribution, simplifying network management.

I recommend it to others and rate it a nine out of ten. 

The radio frequency status is very good, and coverage is good. There are concurrent users for other Wi-Fi products.

The pricing could be cheaper.

We can reach out to support via the support portal if we need to. 

We did previously use a different solution in the past. I cannot recall the name of the company.

The implementation process is straightforward. It's not complex. You just follow the guide.

Deployments don't take long; however, it depends on the requirement. 

One person can manage the deployment. You don't need a big team. 

The solution is worth the investment. 

The pricing is moderate. It's not overly expensive. There are no extra costs or hidden fees.

We are Ruckus partners. 

I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using. 

I would rate the solution nine out of ten. We are mostly happy with its capabilities. 

The primary use case is to provide indoor and outdoor connectivity to our network.

The best feature is its ability to act as an outdoor local access point. We can deploy it on a tower or building, supplying local network connectivity. It is not restricted to an indoor environment, as is the case with some vendors.

The connectivity, speed, and reliability are very good.

Technical support is something that needs to be improved.

Ruckus needs to develop newer models that support cloud technologies. For example, they have a physical controller for these devices but I would like to see a cloud-based controller.

I had been working with Ruckus Wireless WAN for two years.

My current company does not use this product.

Stability-wise, it is perfect.

This is a scalable product.

The technical support team needs to be improved. They should have field engineers, as opposed to only people available to support the backend.

Having the ability to arrange for a reliable on-site engineer would be helpful.

I would rate the technical support a four out of five. 

Positive

The initial setup is easy. It took us approximately 30 minutes to deploy.

I would budget between 30 and 60 minutes for installation and setup.

This product is worth the money that is spent on licensing fees.

In summary, this is a good product and I recommend the Ruckus outdoor devices. They have good support for this line of access points.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I am using it to cover routers in the company.

I have found that WiFi coverage is the most important aspect.

I would like to see the billing system improved by adding a billing system integration.

I have been using Ruckus Wireless WAN for over ten years now.

The stability provided is very nice.

There is no problem with the scalability.

Before moving to Ruckus Wireless WAN we were using Aruba and Cisco.  We switched because of company standards.

The initial setup was straightforward and the process took one week to complete.

I would rate Ruckus Wireless WAN a ten out of ten.

Ruckus Wireless WAN is used in hotels, schools, industrial warehouses, and camping areas for networking.

The most valuable feature of Ruckus Wireless WAN is the antenna technology.

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.

I have used Ruckus Wireless WAN within the last 12 months.

Ruckus Wireless WAN is stable. We do not have a lot of failures. We have installed the units that have been on for years and nothing has happened.

Ruckus Wireless WAN is highly scalable. You can start with one and then expand up to 1,000. You only need to change the firmware of the access point and the management system.

The support from Ruckus Wireless WAN is wonderful. They have phone, chat, and online web support.

I have used many different kinds of similar solutions to Ruckus Wireless WAN. The one aspect that sets them apart from the other is the quality of the antennas. You can implement and design the networks in a very good fashion.

The initial setup is Ruckus Wireless WAN simple, it is logical.

The amount of people required to support Ruckus Wireless WAN depends on the requirements and what kind of business are you doing with it. We have large installations done by one person, but the ISP has to think about the first-line support. The configuration is not difficult it can be done by one person.

The price of Ruckus Wireless WAN is in the middle price range compared to competitors. You will find Cisco is the most expensive, the second is HPE and Aruba, and the third is Ruckus Wireless WAN. You then have all the follower solutions.

The price of the solution can vary substantially. If you have the simplest access point, such as the model R350, or if you have a very advanced installation based in crowded areas with model R850, the pricing is very different.

My advice to others is for them to try Ruckus Wireless WAN out, mostly as a cloud solution. That's a very good start. You can start with one or two access points and figure out if it's something that fits your needs.

I rate Ruckus Wireless WAN a ten out of ten.

We are a University and use this solution for our staff and students.

The actual wireless access points themselves are very powerful. We get very good coverage from just one access point. 

The throughput is very good and the centralized management is excellent. 

Also, the ease of deployment is very good.

There's nothing that anyone else is doing that the Ruckus doesn't do. 

If you compare to the market, I don't see room for improvement, to be honest. There's nothing feature-wise that I see with Ruckus that I think can be improved at the moment.

Of course, we'd always like it to be cheaper, but that's for every product.

I have been working with Ruckus Wireless WAN for six years.

It's a stable solution.

It's scalable, just as we expected it to be.

We have 30,000 to 40,000 users.

Technical support is excellent. They are very responsive, very flexible, and willing to listen to the customer. 

If we do have issues, we get escalated to senior support very quickly.

It takes approximately three months to deploy.

We have a network team of approximately six people who not only support wireless, they support switches, firewalls, and load balancers. 

We have six people who support Ruckus as well as other areas. Three to four percent of the time, they are supporting issues with Ruckus.

It's expensive but you get more coverage.

Approximately five years ago, we compared Ruckus with five other products in the market.

Even though the wireless access points are expensive, they tend to give you three times more coverage. We ended up with far fewer access points to support.

Some of the solutions we evaluated were Cisco, Aruba, HPE, and Juniper.

I would definitely recommend this solution and tell others to use this product.

It's fantastic! I would rate Ruckus Wireless WAN a nine out of ten.

I use the product for internet connectivity.

The product is very user-friendly. The configurations are very simple, and the connections are very stable.

The interface has to be more automated.

I have been using the solution for 30 months.

I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.

I rate the product’s scalability a nine out of ten.

I rate the ease of setup an eight out of ten.

It took us two days to deploy the solution.
