For me, Ubiquiti was easy to install, configure, set up, and maintain, while also providing solid coverage and better handoffs between APs. This is especially relevant if you are using Apple products. It is also worth noting that Ubiquiti hardware is very heavy-duty and is advertised for a great price. I found that even though Ubiquiti is a better match for my needs, their support is questionable. Moreover, although they stand out for providing an easy user experience, I feel that this solution is missing many other advanced features that are available with other products.
In contrast, I like that Cambium has no licensing fees. Like Ubiquiti, It is also easy to deploy, set up, and maintain. In comparison to Ubiquiti’s APs, Cambium’s line of APs seems to be built really well, although they are more expensive. It also provides a solution that gives you the opportunity to set up access points ahead of time, and has a useful mesh feature.
With Cambium, the setup was pretty straightforward, but I must admit that it was time-consuming. While other systems like Cambium can be complicated and sometimes require training, Cambium is easy to learn. In terms of service and support, Cambium does not disappoint. They have a quick response and are always available when needed.
Cambium is a stable and scalable solution, but I do feel that it is lacking in performance. One other downside for me is that it has a built-in antenna when it should have the ability to offer an external antenna as well. It could definitely use some improvements on the user interface and configuration.
Conclusion
While Cambium has some great features, I am a huge fan of Ubiquiti. In the time I have been using it, I haven’t experienced a single connection-related problem and I feel that it has been a worthwhile investment so far and is overall a great product.
