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

"The solution's roaming feature is very nice; when you move to another place it automatically changes the access point, and it's one of the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"From an implementation perspective, it's easy. I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It is easy to set up."
"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."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage."
"This is a good product and I have already recommended it to two of my colleagues."
"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"The only way to re-adopt AP's is to do a hard reset of the device."
 

Cons

"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"As such, there are no problems. It has been good. There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product. We had to make some improvements in the network design. The product as such is fine, and there are no big issues. We are using the latest version having most of the features available in the industry, so the specs are very high. If something new comes up new in the industry, it needs to be incorporated into the product."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"The scalability could be better."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
"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."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"The technical support could improve, they are slow."
