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

"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."
"Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."
"It provides high-speed network connections."
"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."
"I use Ubiquiti WLAN because it's cheap and performs well. The range is its best feature for improving network performance."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."
"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"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."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources."
"There was a time when we were using Cisco switches and attempting to integrate Ubiquiti UniFi switches into our network infrastructure. Eventually, after some effort, we managed to understand the process. Initially, it was challenging to configure the unified console to manage virtual networks alongside internal networks effectively. We had to comprehend how both systems would integrate carefully. It became apparent that maximizing the usage of Cisco switches required a thorough understanding of how UniFi operates at the backend."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
 

Cons

"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"The scalability could be better."
"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. One guy attended this call and he told me, "Definitely, I am forwarding your call to the next level. I'll let you know." After that, it took between 10 to 15 hours before I got a call back. By then, we had already resolved the issue. Therefore, they could improve the local support; there should be at very good Tier 1 and 2 support in India. They should be both proactive and reactive."
"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."
"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 support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
"The technical support is poor. Just a chat window. No actual person to talk with."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
"I am not going to use this solution anymore in the future, I am going to use Aruba."
"The solution should improve stability."
