"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"The coverage could be increased."
"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process."
