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

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"You can add a lot of features, such as cloud, integration with IoT, etc. They have a lot of options available but the top feature is the performance."
"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."
"I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods."
"What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has allowed us to deploy Wi-Fi as a vast service to allow the customer to get a feel for our internet and then come and purchase the service."
"As far as the support is concerned, or the overall experience with the solution, Ubiquiti is simple and easy and inexpensive."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."

"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti WLAN is its stability."

"All of the interfacing is very good."
 

Cons

"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."
"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 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."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"The scalability could be better."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"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."
"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."
"Yes, Ubiquiti uses a concept called adoption. AP's disappear from management software frequently and the only way to re-adopt AP's is to do a hard reset of the device."
"A potential improvement could be the addition of artificial intelligence features, similar to what Ruckus offers."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"The product must provide better warranties."
"The solution should improve stability."
"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."
"The new user interface could be improved - some of the features in the old UI are missing in the new UI."
"There seems to be a drop in service sometimes. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
