Segmentation and remote management have optimized secure hybrid networks and support flexible customization
I find that the most valuable aspect of Ubiquiti WLAN is its ease of segmentation and management, allowing me to tag interfaces without needing to spin up an interface.My feedback on the Unifi management system is that it has made managing my devices and ecosystem easy, allowing me to manage remotely and physically while maintaining a new layer of security for device policies.I would say I am fine with the security features from Ubiquiti WLAN; I have not had any issues managing devices or applying different layers of security.Mesh networking is one of the best for me; especially with my isolated Wi-Fi network, it is managed easily using Ubiquiti.I mostly work with on-prem deployment, but I have a transparent outlay into my network on the cloud for remote insight without using cloud storage on my devices.My deployment for cloud is essentially a virtual private cloud for storage, and I am considering an integration to store videos on Ubiquiti devices, moving them from on-prem to the cloud.I am totally satisfied with the functionality of Ubiquiti WLAN for my clients; it does exactly what I need.For pricing, I rate Ubiquiti WLAN as cheap when compared to others.Ubiquiti WLAN is the only one that provides unlimited capabilities for customization, which I greatly appreciate compared to Cisco options.I have not requested technical support from Ubiquiti before because I usually solve issues on my own if they arise.I rate this product a nine out of ten overall.

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."
"I have a very good experience with this product, so I'm very satisfied with it."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions and it has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"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."
"I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti WLAN is its stability."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"The solution is very easy to install."
 

Cons

"I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior."
"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."
"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."
"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"The stability could be improved."
"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. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."
"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."
"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."
"I don't know if it can be used in large companies, where you have large environments to manage, or with data centers or services that you offer on a large scale (over 200 AP/switch devices)."
"There seems to be a drop in service sometimes. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."
"The logs are not detailed enough. You can't clearly see what is being blocked in Ubiquiti WLAN, making the troubleshooting process a little bit harder."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"This is not a simple solution like you might find with other vendors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Right now, my company made a one-time purchase of Huawei Wireless. It depends, but in most of the projects where customers buy hardware with some software, it's a one-time purchase. Customers pay a yearly fee for other projects for support and additional software features, such as email protection firmware updates for cybersecurity. You'll also receive information about the latest attacks and get more protection if you pay an additional fee apart from the standard license fee. You'll also get an additional warranty for Huawei Wireless, a yearly contract."
"Its price is reasonable."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"Ubiquiti WLAN’s price is higher than other competitors."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"The tool is affordable."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."
"It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
