Access points work but there are problems with support, scalability, and keeping technology current
Having a better dashboard management system that the client can use to access and control their environment would be a nice addition to the product. They said it was going to be part of one of their updates, but we did not get it. We thought we should have in one of the updates that we did. With that, we would have been able to control the environment if we needed to do something like adding more bandwidth in certain areas. Not getting that update became kind-of problematic for us. That was one of the reasons why we had to try to find a solution with a better dashboard management system. I think they need to get the product to the next Gen. Currently they are running on Generation 5. I know that they have a new product almost ready to come out, but they are not really ready for Gen 6 yet. Support could be enhanced as well. With any one of their solutions, they are the means that provides the client with the flexibility and scalability to help manage the product. Instead of the current system where you have to send them a support ticket and then have to go back and forth to get something done, I just think that users should have better control over the process. Their current process does not allow you to have that kind of control. That may be just my limited experience.

Managing installations through one interface enhances efficiency but AI features improvement
Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product. It provides one interface to manage all installations, allowing me to monitor all customers through the same web interface. The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I believe the initial setup was straightforward."
"The main advantage of Ubiquiti WLAN is the network management. The whole concept has one complete range of products from end to end, with very basic and effective management systems. That's a key benefit in my mind. But the main thing is that it's so competitive—far more competitive than the other leading American brands."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."
"The solution is very easy to install."
"The solution is not complex to deploy."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."
"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
 

Cons

"Support is not really up to par in quickly addressing issues."
"Having a better dashboard management system that the client can use to access and control their environment would be a nice addition to the product."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"The logs are not detailed enough. You can't clearly see what is being blocked in Ubiquiti WLAN, making the troubleshooting process a little bit harder."
"I think the main area for improvement with Ubiquiti WLAN is that they need to be far more specific in explaining the advantages of one product versus another. They have many access points - over 30. We often get questions about the right product for specific circumstances, and it's difficult to answer them clearly."
"It does require some maintenance from my side, including troubleshooting and fixing occasionally."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"It is not a stable solution."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It cost over $30,000 for us for 260 access points."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"The tool is affordable."
"The tool's price is good and falls somewhere in the middle."
"Ubiquiti WLAN’s price is higher than other competitors."
"It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"It is a stand-alone price."
