There is no need to buy additional controllers for managing access points.
There are significant time savings, around thirty to forty percent, due to minimal disconnections.
I only needed support once or twice for a replacement, and it was handled smoothly without any difficulty.
I would rate their technical support nine out of ten.
The customer support is good.
I would rate Cisco support a 10, as the response time and process via the dashboard are easy, and response times are always within the SLA.
It would be better if the SLA of technical support was less than four hours.
There are some problems with their technical support when it comes to the whole Meraki system.
The problem with Ubiquiti is the lack of a serious reselling chain, as they sell directly to the customer.
I seldom contact the technical support team as there is comprehensive documentation and FAQs available that help me resolve most issues independently.
The solution is scalable, as multiple sites connect seamlessly.
It is easy to adapt and very scalable.
Meraki is not scalable enough since it straightforwardly maps its products to segmented specifications.
It might struggle in very complex environments with many users.
Scalability is a strong point for Ubiquiti Wireless LAN.
I would assess the scalability feature of Ubiquiti WLAN in accommodating my organization's growth or changing network demands as pretty scalable, warranting a nine out of ten rating.
I have been using the product for the last nine years without facing any issues post-installation.
I believe it has been a stable product.
I don't remember it going down during the years it existed.
Stability is not an issue for me because it comes with Cisco's proven manufacturer quality.
We have experienced many instances where we have experienced a lag in our network, and I am not sure if it is due to their devices or our network.
Proper connections and cabling are essential for maintaining stability.
It performs well as an access point but is not designed for high-density environments.
It does require some maintenance from my side, including troubleshooting and fixing occasionally.
The product should be more affordable, especially the cloud and console for the Aruba product as it is currently very expensive.
While the technical specifications are satisfactory, the access points are expensive.
At the time of purchase, the prices were moderate, but now they are quite expensive.
The most important improvement needed is to eliminate the limitation of uplinks.
Some of the newer models of the Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN access point have encompassed the new wireless protocols and increased the strength of their antennas.
The solution supports Wi-Fi 6.
This could provide a detailed view of connections and possible disconnections, offering valuable insights for improving Wi-Fi connections.
There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security.
Capacity has been a concern, especially since I needed to change some of my devices to a 10 gig network due to limitations.
I think the price may be a little cheaper than other products.
The pricing seems reasonable compared to other brands; however, it is too expensive for smaller businesses.
The pricing can be expensive.
The pricing of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is not competitive enough for the SMB market compared to other brands.
Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is on par with other devices in that category, offering competitive pricing.
My experience with the pricing of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is that it is competitive with other providers offering paid subscriptions.
Ubiquiti is affordable, as it does not require recurring licensing fees.
it is considered medium-priced, suitable for the quality it offers.
I do not need to buy a controller for the access point since the Aruba Access Point has a built-in virtual controller.
The Aruba Wireless solution has excellent roaming capabilities, ensuring seamless connectivity.
It has many features and is integrated with Azure AD and multiple active directories, making authentication easy.
It also manages security clients and switches, providing a single dashboard to manage multiple network infrastructures.
Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN has helped optimize network traffic very effectively, as we do prioritization for streaming and web conferencing apps, resulting in a clear, visible improvement in performance.
The ability to program all access points from the Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN dashboard, view the status of all of them, and examine the individual devices connected to each access point is very valuable.
The Cloud Key Controller is a valuable feature because it allows me to access the wireless system from the cloud and locally within the same network, enhancing network management.
I utilize Ubiquiti WLAN unified management system, and it helps streamline network management by making consistent configuration of all my access points and switches.
It provides one interface to manage all installations, allowing me to monitor all customers through the same web interface.
