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

"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"It is easy to set up."
"The product is easy to use, the signal is very stable with very good performance, and for network devices it is great."
"That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac."
"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"This solution gives me a lot of power to manage the WLAN for my company."
"The main difference between Ubiquiti and other solutions is the wireless coverage and the equipment, and the device in itself is solid with all the functionality that I need."
"All of the interfacing is very good."
"The solution has a pretty simple approach to WLAN, you can manage it for free with a one-off purchase, and it offers a very good hotspot manager with very good interfacing, very nice documentation, and an initial setup that is quite easy."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
 

Cons

"I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"Technical support could be better."
"Huawei Wireless is not scalable. We have had a problem with the solution because it cannot integrate with other servers as the other competitors can."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"The speed could be a bit better."
"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"Support from Ubiquiti is hard to obtain. However, there is a good forum where a lot of information can be found."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"A potential improvement could be the addition of artificial intelligence features, similar to what Ruckus offers."
"The product must provide better warranties."
