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

"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 solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"It is a pretty good solution."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"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 best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."
"That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable, and we haven't had any issues with it."
"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."
"This solution gives me a lot of power to manage the WLAN for my company."
"All of the interfacing is very good."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
 

Cons

"The speed could be a bit better."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"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 security of the solution could be better in the future."
"Technical support could be better."
"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."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."
"I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment."
"Big networks with more than 80 access points are a problem. The network controller stops sometimes, and I think it's because of the high number of access points."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"This is not a simple solution like you might find with other vendors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"It is not monthly. It is a kind of perpetual licensing. We pay once depending on the kind of services we need to deliver. There are no licensing fees."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"It is very cost-effective."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions. It has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing."
"This solution is reasonably priced."

"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
