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

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

"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."
"Overall, I am satisfied with the solution."
"Overall, we've been quite pleased with the solution and its capabilities as well as its pricing."
"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"It is easy to set up."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"The management features are valuable."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"There was a time when we were using Cisco switches and attempting to integrate Ubiquiti UniFi switches into our network infrastructure. Eventually, after some effort, we managed to understand the process. Initially, it was challenging to configure the unified console to manage virtual networks alongside internal networks effectively. We had to comprehend how both systems would integrate carefully. It became apparent that maximizing the usage of Cisco switches required a thorough understanding of how UniFi operates at the backend."
"Ubiquiti is affordable, as it does not require recurring licensing fees."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti WLAN is its stability."
"This is a good product and I have already recommended it to two of my colleagues."
 

Cons

"What needs improvement in Huawei Wireless is after-sales support. I've faced many after-sales support issues, so that's the area I want Huawei to improve. Having an SLA with customers is what I'd suggest to Huawei Wireless."
"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."
"Price is one of the major problems of the solution, and because of this, our company's customers want to migrate to some other product from Huawei."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"The manageability could be improved."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"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 product’s bandwidth could be better."
"The technical support is poor. Just a chat window. No actual person to talk with."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"I think the coverage could be increased."
"The room for improvement is in the controller levels."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
