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

"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."
"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions and it has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"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."
"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"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."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
"The solution is very easy to install."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"This is a good product and I have already recommended it to two of my colleagues."
"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable."
 

Cons

"Support could be a bit faster."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it."
"Technical support could be better."
"The manageability could be improved."
"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."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful."
"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"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."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"The coverage could be increased."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"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."
"I think the coverage could be increased."
