Ubiquiti Wireless Reviews

We use it mostly for our office network.

It helps the employees in doing more work. While moving from one place to another, especially for the meetings, it is really important to have a reliable and stable internet connection. Ubiquiti gives them a comfortable feeling while working in the office.

I like the fact that you can set it up like a wireless connection. Previously, we used to connect from one SSID to another. When we started using Ubiquiti, everyone was so happy because even if they moved from one place or another, say from the pantry to a meeting room, they didn't need to connect manually to another SSID. This is one of the features that I really like about it. It is doing a great job.

It offers a free controller that you can use to see if the devices are connected or not and if they are up or down.

There should be an easier way to contact the support. If we need to do something on it, it will be easier and faster if there is a support number to call. Currently, their support is mostly through email or chat. If there is a hotline that you can call directly, that would be good. It will really help a lot. They should also include more after-sales support.

They can maybe also provide more details on what's happening with the network.

I have been using this solution since 2013. That's roughly eight years.

It is really stable. We've been using it for the past eight years, and so far, everyone is loving it. We have no complaints. Now, all our offices use Ubiquiti, which proves how stable it is.

It is pretty scalable. It is easy to scale. Whenever we need more access points, it is easy to set it up. 

We have roughly 200 users with mixed roles. We have engineering, finance, HR, customer service, and CEO. In terms of increasing its usage, we just upgraded last year. We are in a good position right now. If our company expands, we might add or upgrade our network.

Currently, their support is mostly through email or chat. It would be good and helpful if there is a hotline that you can call directly. They should have direct contact numbers just like other enterprise companies. For example, Cisco provides a dedicated person with whom you can speak. 

It is pretty straightforward. Even non-technical people can set it up by following the videos on YouTube.

I like the fact that it offers enterprise features at a cheap price. If you compare it with Cisco, it has most of the features that Cisco has been offering but at a lesser price. I am satisfied with its price.

We did evaluate other products. One of the reasons why we chose Ubiquiti was its pricing and licensing. For other enterprise brands, you need to pay on a yearly basis. The controller has a cost as well. With Ubiquiti, we got enterprise features for a cheaper price. It was more than enough.

I would recommend this solution to others. You can never go wrong with Ubiquiti because it is already proven and tested, and there is no need to do POC on it.

I would rate Ubiquiti Wireless a nine out of ten.

We use this solution for point to point. For example, if we have an ISP and you want to feed a company with bandwidth, we use the "add point to point" feature for wifi.

We use it as an access point, but if you are talking about manifestation, this is for a very limited range, evaluated in a limited number of people. If you want to have a real ISP business, you need a different solution. It can be installed inside a system, and then you use that setup to broadcast a signal. It's very stable in most cases if we don't have Microsoft.

We use the on-premises version of the solution.

It's very easy to use. The hardware is very easy to use, compared to Microsoft. Microsoft is more complicated. It has software that is okay if you are familiar with it. In my opinion, Ubiquiti hardware is more heavy-duty than Microsoft.

It is also the first company in Iraq that provides a product with an antenna and feeds all in one compact design. Before that, we had the magnetic adapter alone and then antenna alone.

After that, Microsoft and other companies have produced equipment like Ubiquiti, but it was the first one that made this design.

You should also not forget that we use Ubiquiti for point to point with devices. All their features are very popular here in Iraq, though.

They should make more advanced features for power users. I am a technician and I am functional, but I do need some features that I find only in Microsoft. I cannot find them in Ubiquiti. This is a very important point because although the user experience is very easy, it lacks many features that can be found in Cisco and Microsoft.

Basically, Ubiquiti is a great product for beginners or home users. If you are a really proficient user, on the other hand, you will need more features. In that case, you would want Ubiquity to add more features.

I think they should improve their firmware. They should make it more like Microsoft, with more features and they should make it as stable as Cisco IOS. I miss this very much because if I have a professional friend and he wants my advice about which router to use, in some cases he will need advanced features. If you want to make something for YouTube, for example, only Cisco or Microsoft will do.

If they add those features, they still should not increase the price. Microsoft has had some serious issues with the same price as Ubiquiti. If the difference is small, like only 5%, it's not an issue.

The solution is very stable and that is a very good thing. They have a wide range of products like for the point multiplying applications. This is used in the case that I have an access point and a client wants to connect to me. Ubiquiti has staffing for manifestation locally, for both the five gigahertz and 24 gigahertz versions. They move up to manifestation five in DDI, while you also have 23 DDI, 24 DDI, etc. We have a wide range of projects for a very wide range of people.

It is scalable within a certain range, but I think it's not for very big companies. If you install Cisco, for example, you can leave it to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week and it would go nonstop for two or three years without an issue. For Ubiquiti, I don't think that is possible.

It is a lack of hardware. The hardware is good compared to some other companies. If you comparing to Cisco, though, it's not as good. Cisco is much better at making hardware.

I have many friends using Ubiquiti. I also know may companies using Ubiquiti. In Iraq 75% use UDM products.

They have some products that can be used in both big and small companies. For the point to point application, there is a product that is very widely used in Iraq. You can advance, for example, one gigabyte of data through 23 megahertz to the user. It's called airFiber 11FX and it's very, very widely used in Iraq. There is also the 5X, 5U and 5XHD, and airFiber 24 and 24HD. I don't think Cisco has such a solution. This is why it's used in many companies, even on the enterprise level.

We also use their fiber internet to bring an internet connection to a place that is very far away from the town. So they use this product to get an internet connection.

It is very easy to set up. If I am a new user, for example, I can search for instructions on YouTube. Many videos on YouTube will help. One time I used it to learn how to install and configure very easily.

The price is reasonable and there's only a one-time payment. We have had this for a long time and I haven't seen any additional fee after paying for the installation.

They have a product that is used a lot in Iraq homes, because they use it to get an education, through the internet from an access point. This is used by all people in Iraq. There are some other companies like TP-Link, but TP-Link is not stable. TP-Link has many issues in their products. So you can use this as a normal user in a house and move up to companies even, in some cases.

Depending on the router type, you might have to reset it every couple of days or every couple of months.

I would rate this as nine out of ten, where Cisco would be a ten.

We primarily use the product for our financial management and CRM needs. It’s integrated into our ERP system, which supports our sales, marketing, and customer service operations.

The solution significantly streamlined our financial processes and improved customer relationship management. We’ve seen better financial reporting and greater efficiency in handling customer interactions.

The platform's real-time reporting and dashboard features have been valuable. They provide us with immediate insights into our financial performance and customer interactions, which helps us make informed decisions quickly.

The product's user interface could be more intuitive, and sometimes, the system can be slow during peak usage times. We’d also like to see better integration with other tools we use.

Enhanced integration capabilities and improved user experience features would be beneficial. More customizable reporting options would also be a great addition.

We’ve been using Ubiquiti Wireless for about three years now.

The solution is generally stable, though we’ve experienced occasional slowdowns during high-demand periods.

The solution is scalable and has effectively handled our growing needs. We’ve been able to add new users and modules without significant issues.

Customer service and support have been responsive and helpful. However, there have been occasional delays in resolving issues.

Neutral

We previously used a different ERP solution. We switched because the new solution offered better scalability and more advanced features that met our growing needs.

The setup was relatively complex due to the customization needed to fit our specific requirements. It required careful planning and execution.

We implemented the product with the help of a vendor team.

We evaluated several options, including SAP and Microsoft Dynamics. We chose this solution because it best suited our requirements and budget.

It’s crucial to ensure that you have proper training and support to maximize the product benefits.

I rate it a seven out of ten. 

At home, I use it for myself. There are no captive portals or anything like that, only wireless access. Only wifi.

It functions properly and includes centralized management for access points and switches.

They have access points that are in the firewalls, and I believe the firewalls could be significantly better.

They use the USG firewall, which I believe is a poor device. VPNs for example, it is really bad, it is difficult to configure, and I don't like them at all.

I have been working with Ubiquiti Wireless for two or three years.

I am not working with the latest version. I try to update to the latest version once in a while.

Ubiquiti Wireless is very stable.

I have not yet experimented with the scalability of Ubiquiti Wireless. 

I am using it at home.

I have not contacted technical support.

I have worked with Cisco Routers.

For testing, and learning purposes, I have been using CentOS, which is now Almal Linux or Rocky Linux.

I have also worked with Sophos and Bitdefender.

I have used Mikro Tik.

It is quite easy to set up.

It most likely took me an hour. 

I watched some Youtube videos.

There is no licensing fee required.

I think the price is okay for the product, but the price could always be cheaper.

I work as a system engineer and research solutions at home. I switched to a different product after a few years.

Three years ago, I would have, but things have since shifted a bit. I prefer to have everything at home. Ubiquiti requires a cloud account now, which I don't like, therefore I wouldn't recommend it at this time.

I would rate Ubiquiti Wireless an eight out of ten.

We're an educational institution and use this solution for our staff and classrooms. We are customers of Ubiquiti. 

This product is great because it's easy to set up and maintain. It's simple to configure and simple making changes to the configuration. Being cloud-based makes it all a lot easier. 

I'd like to be able to see error logs more easily and get a direct link to where the problem may be.

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. We recently added more access points and they integrated into the system very smoothly. We have over 1,200 users. We have a maintenance department of three network administrators who deal with Ubiquiti and any other tech matters. 

We have a local vendor who helped with the installation so we didn't need to go to Ubiquiti directly.

The initial setup is straightforward.

There is no license for this product, it's a one-off outright purchase. 

I enjoy using this product and rate it 10 out of 10. 

Ubiquiti Wireless is used for networking for academic use.

I have been using Ubiquiti Wireless for approximately two years.

Ubiquiti Wireless could improve stability. 

I rate the stability of Ubiquiti Wireless a three out of five.

The scalability of Ubiquiti Wireless is very good. We can add and transfer access points, it is highly scalable.

We have approximately 2,000 faculty and 3,000 students using this solution.

I rate the support from Ubiquiti Wireless a four out of five.

The initial setup of Ubiquiti Wireless was complex. However, the second installation was easier.

I did the implementation of Ubiquiti Wireless in-house with support staff. 

We have approximately three installers and engineers for the configuration and maintenance of the solution.

Once you purchase the solution the license is included.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Ubiquiti Wireless a seven out of ten.

The solution has an easy configuration. We use this solution for showcases at our organization. We use it in the case of UB-KIT for guests and production for the wireless WLAN segment.

The most valuable features are the double PA in 802.1X authentication and the radio server.

The mesh configuration and WiFi 6 coverage should be improved.

We have been using this solution for two years on private and on-premises.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution. We have approximately 15 users using this solution in private and 12 or 13 on guess connection. There are three people responsible for maintenance.

We used Cisco Meraki and Aruba in the past and switched to Ubiquiti because it has a better configuration.

The installation took two days to complete. It was complex to install because of the radio server authentication and integration with the active directory.

We did not use a third party to install it, and we completed it ourselves.

Ubiquiti Wireless is not expensive.

I rate this solution a ten out of ten.

We have Ubiquiti Wireless units in retirement communities, specifically in outdoor parks and then in each home. We also have them for guest access in the hotels, so throughout the building, in the rooms, in the hallways, and in the public areas. 

We replaced probably eight or 10-year-old technology for our clients with Ubiquiti Wireless, so it has made their internet connection work much better, with faster throughput, and given them more bandwidth.

What I find the most valuable is that all of the equipment talks to each other, so we can manage it from one single interface. I also find valuable the fact that the access points mesh together to provide redundancy in addition to the wired connectivity.

The network setup could be a little easier and more straightforward.

I have worked with Ubiquiti Wireless for probably three to four years. 

Ubiquiti Wireless is very scalable. I don't know that there's a limit to scalability. We just add more data switches to power more access points. We haven't come across a situation where it can't handle the Ubiquiti equipment.

It's mostly used by guests or property owners. Management accesses the wireless network as well, but they don't have any role in managing it or maintaining it. We do all that. So, it's really just internet access for guests and homeowners.

The people doing the installation are basically just connecting the wires to the access points and mounting the access points. I think we had two installers and then one engineer that's just managing everything; they're logged into the interface and adopting the access points and setting up the network control.

No tech support is perfect, but their response time could be better. However, they are very knowledgeable once they start working on any technical issue that we are having.

Positive

We did not previously use anything else. When we started with these opportunities, we evaluated other products, and this had the best price and performance. So, we went with this from day one.

We are certified and took Ubiquiti's training, which was a five-day training class. Deployment is fairly straightforward for us thanks to the training that we have had.

We did our deployment in-house. Everything's been solid since we installed it. No issues with the equipment.

There are no licensing fees. 

That is not a question I can answer. My engineer did most of that legwork. 

The advice I would give to others looking into implementing this product is this: go get trained and receive their certification first. You can use the product without training but to implement it, you've got to know where and which access points and which RF technology is involved.

On a scale of one to 10, with one as the worst and 10 as the best, I would give Ubiquiti Wireless an eight. 

We use this solution as wifi wireless points and controllers.

I like the simplicity, the ease of use. 

Occasionally the upgraded firmware causes errors. When they update the interface some features disappear.

There are some outstanding security flaws.

We had a security incident that forced us to re-evaluate our security posture, when we did, we were corporate mandated to stop using it.

I have been working with Ubiquiti Wireless for eight years.

The stability is very good.

Ubiquiti Wireless scales very well.

It's a cost-effective solution.

This solution is better suited for small to medium-sized businesses.

I would rate Ubiquiti Wireless a seven out of ten.

We deployed it alongside Linksys. The way I'm using it is the way I have used Linksys.

We can use it for WLAN deployments and outdoor wireless connectivity. We can use it for wireless hotspots - the long range type.

The management they have the UniFi Controller allows you to manage everything including access from the entrance location from the server.

The solution is stable.

We have found the product to be scalable.

Its server is easy to use.  

The product is easy to install.

How easy it is to install depends on the knowledge base of the person doing it. It can get a bit technical.

I would prefer if the solution offered more integration capabilities. 

We've used the solution for more than four years at this point. It's been a while.

The solution has been stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The scalability is very good. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

I've never contacted technical support. I wouldn't be able to comment on how helpful or responsive they are. 

We use the solution alongside Linksys. We later migrated to UniFi in one of our offices.

The product is easy to install, however, it's technical. You need to have a technical person involved, and if you do it will be an easy installation. 

You buy the solution outright. However, I cannot speak to the exact pricing. 

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. I've found the solution to be very good overall.

I would recommend the solution to other users and companies.
