Effective and extensive campus Wi-Fi with room for better frequency management

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, I am satisfied with the solution."
"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems. Its price is very nice. The other WiFi systems cost about 15% more."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"Overall, we've been quite pleased with the solution and its capabilities as well as its pricing."
"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"The management features are valuable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The only way to re-adopt AP's is to do a hard reset of the device."
"Great management interface."
"Once they are in, and because you can have multiple access points, the handoff between different access points, one to another, is really nice, you are not losing signals, dropping connections, and other such things, it is all very good."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
 

Cons

"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"There was one time I had a problem with their centralized licensing. I called the Indian call center, but the response was not that good."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"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."
"The manageability could be improved."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"I think the coverage could be increased."
"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"The room for improvement is in the controller levels."
"I am not going to use this solution anymore in the future, I am going to use Aruba."
"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process."
"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
"The technical support is poor. Just a chat window. No actual person to talk with."
