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 product is simple and easy to use."
"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."
"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology, and there are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility, options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself, and its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"The handover is seamless whenever the users connect to the access point."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"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."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"I am totally satisfied with the functionality of Ubiquiti WLAN for my clients; it does exactly what I need."
 

Cons

"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."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"As such, there are no problems. It has been good. There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product. We had to make some improvements in the network design. The product as such is fine, and there are no big issues. We are using the latest version having most of the features available in the industry, so the specs are very high. If something new comes up new in the industry, it needs to be incorporated into the product."
"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."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"This is not a simple solution like you might find with other vendors."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"I think the main area for improvement with Ubiquiti WLAN is that they need to be far more specific in explaining the advantages of one product versus another. They have many access points - over 30. We often get questions about the right product for specific circumstances, and it's difficult to answer them clearly."
"The technical support is poor. Just a chat window. No actual person to talk with."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is reasonably priced."
"The solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
