Unified management of devices ensures a consistent network configuration

I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable. I appreciate that it has a controller instead of just a single access point, similar to how Ruckus operates. I utilize Ubiquiti WLAN unified management system, and it helps streamline network management by making consistent configuration of all my access points and switches. I also have cameras integrated, so I have everything managed through the system. I have seen benefits from utilizing Ubiquiti WLAN as it's a stable solution. I also see scalability as a positive factor for Ubiquiti WLAN.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, we've been quite pleased with the solution and its capabilities as well as its pricing."

"The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features."

"The product is simple and easy to use."

"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."

"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."

"It has all of the features that we need."

"You can add a lot of features, such as cloud, integration with IoT, etc. They have a lot of options available but the top feature is the performance."

"It can scale."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."

"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."

"The management features are valuable."

"The most beneficial thing about Ubiquiti is that it is simple to deploy."

"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."

"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."

"The pricing is reasonable; there are no licenses required to use the solution, and that's one of the benefits of using the product."

"The pricing is pretty good; it's not overly expensive and you only pay for the solution once since there isn't an ongoing license fee you have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."

More Ubiquiti WLAN pros

Cons

"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."

"They should include more security features in the solution."

"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected."

"The security of the solution could be better in the future."

"The solution needs to include a captive portal."

"There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product."

"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved."

"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."

"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."

"My expert view on Ubiquiti improvement is that capacity has been a concern, especially since I needed to change some of my devices to a 10 gig network due to limitations."

"The coverage could be increased."

"When they release new products, you should know if there is backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, it is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."

"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."

"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."

"Big networks with more than 80 access points are a problem. The network controller stops sometimes, and I think it's because of the high number of access points."

More Ubiquiti WLAN cons

Pricing and Cost Advice
