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 reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"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 best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."

"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"Firstly, I initially purchased the device to build a VPN, and one very valuable feature for me was the ability to create a layer two VPN, which was available on the legacy ER router. It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with."
"I am totally satisfied with the functionality of Ubiquiti WLAN for my clients; it does exactly what I need."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."

Cons

"The stability could be improved."
"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
"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."
"The speed could be a bit better."
"The manageability could be improved."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"The new user interface could be improved - some of the features in the old UI are missing in the new UI."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"This is not a simple solution like you might find with other vendors."
"Support from Ubiquiti is hard to obtain. However, there is a good forum where a lot of information can be found."
"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."
