We performed a comparison between Cisco Wireless and Ubiquiti WLAN based on our users’ reviews in our categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Both solutions received very positive reviews from users. Cisco Wireless has a slight edge over Ubiquiti WLAN since users feel it has better stability and better technical support.
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The simplicity is great."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The mobility that it provides is really helpful."
"Device profiling allows us to have different policies applied by ISE to wireless clients."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is reliability."
"Cisco Wireless is highly stable."
"Wireless access has enabled users to be mobile and as a result, more productive."
"The capacity, security, downloading, and exporting data are all very good. It's user-friendly, but if I look at Meraki versus normal Cisco equipment, then I think that Meraki will be much more user-friendly."
"The solution offers central management, reliability, and signal, ensures the bandwidth, and segregates the network. It also maintains the authentication process in the compass solution, which is good regarding multiple software."
"Cisco Wireless is scalable."
"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."
"The solution is scalable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
"The initial setup is easy."
"All of the interfacing is very good."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price could be better."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Sometimes I've seen some issues come up with the interference. That's an issue users face at times. It becomes very complex when you have a lot of wireless interference in the area, or in your office. It's because of the environment of Cisco. Maybe, in the future, they can work on this area, and fix this issue."
"The installation is very tiring and painful, the process could be easier."
"The solution is stable but it could be improved. However, this could be because there are not enough APs."
"Cisco is costlier relative to other solutions."
"The installation is not too difficult but the solution could improve by making the configuration easier."
"The solution's pricing should be improved."
"Room for improvement wise, the wireless coverage of Cisco's equipment could be better for the price position. That is, I think that the radius for the coverage could be better to make it worth the price that we pay for it."
"Improvements can be made to the telemetry. The licensing gets in the way here. It makes it impossible to record the different flows across the wireless network."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."
"Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
