"We don't know this product very well yet, but what we have used so far and what we like are user control, bandwidth, and access."
"I rate the stability an eight out of ten."
"Aruba Central seems to be a good way to go in cloud management. However, compared to Cisco Meraki, it's still very early days."
"The solution is overall a great product. The stability is one of the best aspects of it. It's also useful in helping control multiple access points. You don't need to have a physical controller like other brands."
"The GUI is user-friendly and the dashboards are good."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setup and deployment."
"The security feature and the signal are good as they is dependent on our needs."
"It's very easy to use. The hardware is very easy to use, compared to Microsoft. Microsoft is more complicated. It has software that is okay if you are familiar with it. In my opinion, Ubiquiti hardware is more heavy duty then Microsoft."
"I would say that the user experience is pretty good in this solution as well as the roaming solution part of it."
"The solution offers us good situational awareness by providing information on user activity, signal strength, and all the data that you need to manage the system and understand issues."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti Wireless is the ease of configuration."
"The pricing of the solution is excellent. It offers a great value."
"It has a decent portal, and it is usable."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is extremely easy to set up."
"The main strength of Ubiquiti Wireless is the ease of use it provides to users."
"Right now, the integration between the support that you are getting from Hewlett-Packard, which is the parent company, and Aruba, they're not meshing together."
"Deployment can take some time if you haven't planned well."
"This product needs more flecibility with switching technologies."
"The solution would be improved with a better interface."
"The issue is that we are unable to update it because we lack the necessary permissions. We set up the website, but we don't have permission to download the software."
"Its technical support service could be better."
"Device integration has room for improvement in Aruba Networks Wireless WAN."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The solution should offer simpler management for guests. That would be helpful in the hospitality industry, for example."
"There isn't any technical support."
"There should be an easier way to contact the support. If we need to do something on it, it will be easier and faster if there is a support number to call. Currently, their support is mostly through email or chat. If there is a hotline that you can call directly, that would be good. It will really help a lot. They should also include more after-sales support. They can maybe also provide more details on what's happening with the network."
"This product has issues with scalability and ease of manageability at scale. Security also needs to be improved, when compared to its competitors. Ubiquiti Wireless doesn't have any support that you can call. They only have an online portal where you can access support documentation, but it's not great. You have to figure out issues and solutions for yourself."
"We have an issue with Ubiquiti Wireless every three to five months for one of the access points."
"Better security is important because we need to have some degree of control over who is connected and how we can restrict the level of connectivity."
"The range and maybe the quality of the signal can be improved. I had a feeling that the range wasn't long enough. Unfortunately, beyond a certain range, the signal was too weak. If I'm not mistaken, it must have been something like 100 or more than 100 meters, but I'm not sure. So, one improvement I wish for this equipment is to have a longer range, but that could mainly be due to the model we're using."
"They should have more VLAN features and a designing tool like a link planer."
