Is Ruckus able to restrict the end user the data usage just like mobile phone is able to limit the data usage?

There are minor tweaks you can apply: bandwidth restriction and scheduling WLAN availability.

Might be useful in some scenarios but they are not ways to monitor or set data limits.

Indeed. I've found the #1 contributor to high data usage is adaptive-bitrate-streaming online video. Limiting video (or just everything) to a few mbit will dramatically cut down on the ways that the average customer is going to use a lot of data.

Of course, having an actual traffic shaping / accounting gateway solution would give a lot more flexibility and power, but sometimes the simple solutions are good enough.
