"I think that the next release should offer IP phone security/firewall."
"The Central cloud management (optional) is far behind the competition in features, ease of use, and dependability. I have tried Aruba Central a few times over the years and, in my option, it is not where it needs to be for serious consideration in production environments."
"The only issue we've had is getting equipment supplies. The availability of the APs that I want to use has been an issue. It took almost two months to get them the first time. I've ordered a few more for another client, and they're still on back order. It has been over a month now."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features."
"It is not a stable solution."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
