Reliable wireless connectivity supports seamless hospital staff mobility
We use HPE Wireless WAN for hospital purposes. In our hospital, all the staff have laptops and move around, hence the need for wireless connectivity. We also provide guest access to patient rooms, including ICU rooms, where patients stay HPE Wireless WAN provides reliable connectivity. We use it…

Software controller is very nice and provides excellent performance
Ubiquiti products are really good. I am a B2B wholesaler, and my type of business requires profit to sell to my installers or for my installers to sell to the end customers. Right now, Ubiquiti doesn't offer that. They are selling the product on their website. We face difficulties with Ubiquiti's supply chain because their products are usually out of stock. I would recommend Ubiquiti Wireless as a brand. However, we are no longer recommending it in my business. I am a wholesaler who recommends installing wireless or network solutions for other companies. I no longer recommend Ubiquiti Wireless because it is not profitable. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The WiFi and high scalability are the most valuable features."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is a good and stable solution."
"The performance is good."
"The main benefit of this product is the lifetime warranty, up to 99 years. For example, if your switch card fails after 10 years, and the hardware fails, it will be replaced with the very same switch or the equivalent model available at the time."
"HPE Wireless WAN provides reliable connectivity."
"We've found the scalability to be good."
"The support has been responsive and helpful."
"Easy to set up and maintain and simple to configure."
"Installation is easy with seamless integration of additional APs."
"Ubiquiti outdoor access points in particular, are really stable, and if there are no obstructions, Ubiquiti works well."
"The UniFi Controller Software provides excellent statistical and monitoring facilities."
"What I found most valuable in Ubiquiti Wireless is that it's priced competitively, compared to other brands available in the market. From a price competitiveness standpoint, it's a product I would recommend. I also find Ubiquiti Wireless quite reliable, at least for me using it as a home access point, it seems to serve its purpose. I also like that with Ubiquiti Wireless, you can build a very modular network, so you could change out your router to use a Ubiquiti router if you want to. The solution also has gateway equipment and all, so I like the modular concept of Ubiquiti Wireless. Another feature I find valuable in the solution is monitoring. It is pretty good. For example, as a home user, I have the unified app on my computer, so I'm able to watch how my APs are performing."
"The setup is quite simple."
"The most valuable features are ease of deployment, ease of use, and the interface."
"We use the solution for many of our smaller customers and the cloud management aspect of the solution is very good. If you compare it to other vendors that have a controller, it's much easier to manage the cloud-based solution because we travel a lot. It allows us to manage everything from any place."
 

Cons

"The HPE Wireless dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"Mostly, I face problems with client connectivity and some devices, like Android."
"Technical support could be improved. They could respond a bit faster."
"The sales sync should connect with and sync up with the customers."
"The solution works smoothly unless more than twenty users connect to a single access point, at which point it becomes overloaded."
"In the next release of the solution, there should be better integration with other platforms."
"Stability could be improved, and technical support needs to be faster."
"The price of HPE Wireless WAN should be reduced."
"I would like to see more cloud features that some of the other competitors such as Cisco Meraki have that are very nice."
"We need an official distributor in Egypt as we don't have one right now."
"The documentation and support provided by the solution areas of concern where improvements are required."
"The production is not very stable in our experience."
"I would like local support from the parent company."
"Ubiquiti Wireless could improve by being more user-friendly and easy to use."
"The cost is on the higher side and could be lower."
"The Unifi controller software has a small issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you are concerned with your budget, then you can go for the cheaper model."
"The price of HPE Wireless WAN is high."
"I find the price to be reasonable."

"If you do not have a big budget, you can use Ubiquiti, it is cost-effective."
"Its pricing ranges from 1,000 euros to 30,000 euros. The average price might be 10,000 euros."
"From a pricing point of view, Ubiquiti is excellent."
"The price of the solution is high and could be cheaper."
"There are no licensing fees for this solution, but the cost is on the higher side."

"It's a cost-effective solution."
"The price of this solution is ok."
