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 most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"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 solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features."
"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."
"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."
"It is a pretty good solution."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"The solution is very stable; there are no bugs or glitches, it works very well, it does not crash, and the performance is very good, and so far we have not received any complaints or any faulty hardware or anything."
"The only way to re-adopt AP's is to do a hard reset of the device."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component."
"The solution is scalable."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"The main advantage of Ubiquiti WLAN is the network management. The whole concept has one complete range of products from end to end, with very basic and effective management systems. That's a key benefit in my mind. But the main thing is that it's so competitive—far more competitive than the other leading American brands."
"As a turnkey solution."
"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 product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
 

Cons

"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"Technical support is not great. Whenever I open a case, I don't get any immediate support."
"Technical support is not ideal. They sometimes cannot connect to the wireless access point or their connection drops."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"Technical support could be better."
"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"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."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."
"The product must provide better warranties."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."

"The product has a good price."
