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

"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 can scale."
"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"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."
"It provides high-speed network connections."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"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 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."
"Once they are in, and because you can have multiple access points, the handoff between different access points, one to another, is really nice, you are not losing signals, dropping connections, and other such things, it is all very good."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."
"Great management interface."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"As far as the support is concerned, or the overall experience with the solution, Ubiquiti is simple and easy and inexpensive."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable, and we haven't had any issues with it."
 

Cons

"Technical support is not great. Whenever I open a case, I don't get any immediate support."
"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"The manageability could be improved."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"We are experiencing some challenges in terms of technical support; it's not readily available."
"There seems to be a drop in service sometimes. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"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."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"We don't have any control on the pricing. This comes from Huawei in India. Pricing-wise, Huawei is very aggressive and competitive if you compare them to competitors, like Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus. The Indian Huawei team tells us, "Just pick up the order and design the infrastructure. If there are any pricing challenge, we'll work on that and we will try to match things 100 percent.""

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."

"It is a stand-alone price."
"It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality."
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."

"There is a license required for this solution."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."
