Available to users at a very low price but needs improvement in the firewall area
The product is very easy to install. When it comes to OmniSwitch 6200, OmniSwitch 6300, or OmniSwitch 6600, you can install it in an hour and a half quickly without any problem implementing the configuration, but it's not stable. When it comes to OmniSwitch 6400, OmniSwitch 6800, or OmniSwitch 9700, mostly the tools are limited in terms of the protocol. The switch cannot be managed to manage the power of our ethernet. For example, if we connect an iPhone to the switch, 740 watts will be required, but after six months, someone will discover that the port doesn't work anymore. Even if we configure it to push the power of a port, it will not work. It's not really, it's not, it's not work. At the same time, the problem was that the tool was very old, like Alcatel OmniPCX Enterprise PABX system. In Alcatel, there are only two types of architecture, the old and new ones. For example, on the outside, if there is a need for 24 ports to be implemented on telephony, then we implement less than that number to connect to the end of the phone, which is a very serious problem that is not resolved by the product.

Seamless coverage amplifies connectivity while enhanced responsiveness strengthens potential
We do not prefer Ubiquiti Wireless switches for more complex environments, not because they lack scalability, but because we haven't explored their products extensively. We are strong on their Wi-Fi solution. When implementing Wi-Fi for a campus, we use Cisco for the core backbone infrastructure, while implementing Ubiquiti Wireless for the Wi-Fi and controller. Perhaps we haven't discovered switches that would match our requirements, or maybe they exist but we haven't explored their capabilities fully. Regarding improvements to Ubiquiti Wireless, I cannot provide specific suggestions as I'm not an expert on Wi-Fi, as there is a dedicated team that handles Wi-Fi solutions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's support is very great."
"An excellent and robust solution for delineating services over a common transport, through the use of IP/MPLS."
"It offers very good pricing."
"Ubiquiti wireless proves especially helpful in scenarios requiring mobility."
"The failure rate is very low on these devices - I've had them installed for five years and have only lost one out of a hundred."
"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult; it's very easy to set up and that's a great selling point, as the implementation rolls out very simply and the entire installation is very quick and takes less than an hour to execute."
"The most valuable aspect of Ubiquiti is the ease of setup. It's easy to set up, secure, and use. It works on an adoption basis. I can pull the system up, design a network, and pull 20 different Ubiquiti units into it."
"Valuable features include the fact that the solution is very easy to manage; the Unify platform is very good and the Edge platform is very stable, plus it's a well priced solution and, as far as I'm concerned, it's enterprise class."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is easy to use, it's stable and flexible, and the performance is great. It is scalable as well."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is extremely easy to set up."
 

Cons

"More refinement of network group encryption (NGE)."
"The tool's VPN Firewall Brick did not work well since it doesn't have an interface with the cloud to upload the last signature, so it doesn't have this mechanism."
"I would like to see this solution have any kind of captive portal on the tool or user accounting tool. This would be quite useful for companies."
"From my team's interactions with their support, they are not as efficient as Cisco."
"They have access points that are in the firewalls, and I believe the firewalls could be significantly better. They use the USG firewall, which I believe is a poor device. VPNs for example, it is really bad, it is difficult to configure, and I don't like them at all."
"The product lacks some security features."
"They should have more VLAN features and a designing tool like a link planer."
"Ubiquiti Wireless could improve by being more user-friendly and easy to use."
"Difficult to see error logs and locate the problem."
"I would like to see improvements around the firewalls and some of the internal workings, such as DNS testing. Additionally, the documentation needs improvement. It is good, but it lacks depth and is more targeted at SOHO users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is very low."
"There are no licensing fees for this solution, but the cost is on the higher side."
"Once you purchase the solution the license is included."
"The price of this solution is ok."
"The product is around $300 or $400 depending on the device. It's a one-time fee. There aren't ongoing licensing costs."
"I rate the price of Ubiquiti Wireless a three out of five."
"Ubiquiti Wireless has reasonable pricing."
"It's a cost-effective solution."
"I think the price is okay for the product, but the price could always be cheaper."
