Ubiquiti WLAN Reviews

Ubiquiti WLAN is a management and the layout. You must do your own design work to determine where you want to place the devices. 

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 similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable.

With newer products, to be precise, you want to know what their plan is, and where are they heading. Because you want to make wise choices. And, once again, the same product does not last indefinitely. 

You are always coming up with new ideas and improvements. 

But you want to know where they see themselves going in the future. 

When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed.

Ubiquiti WLAN is stable. It just works.

I am the only one who does a lot of the management. 

There are a couple of other people who use it, but there are probably a lot of people and customers making connections and using it. 

There are no complaints. Nobody is unhappy. If no one complains, it must be doing well.

I've never dealt with technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward.

They give you a lot of options, but most of the defaults are good. 

There are some configurations you will want to do over time as you learn. But, it is simple. 

I work with some products where figuring out the configuration is extremely difficult and requires trial and error. It is simpler and easier to use with Ubiquiti.

This solution requires very low maintenance. If something goes wrong, I find out about it and either make a quick configuration change or do something similar, or every now and then, something goes out or doesn't work properly and I have to replace it. That would be a lot if I had to do something once a year.

It is a stand-alone price.

I purchase the product. You can buy them in bulk and get several pieces of hardware at once. 

It is a one-time investment. I do that, and it works perfectly.

It works well, It's a good product, I would rate Ubiquiti WLAN a nine out of ten.

We use the product for high-performance wireless networks.

The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component.

During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface. A few other vendors, like Fortinet, Zoho, and Azure, provide an option to switch to a power shell console directly. It has a hyper installer to make the process quick. There could be a similar option for the product for easier implementation.

We have been using Ubiquiti WLAN for four years. At present, we are using the latest version.

I rate the product’s stability a nine out of ten.

I rate the product’s scalability an eight out of ten. We have medium to enterprise customers.

The product’s initial setup is easy. I rate the process an eight out of ten. The complexity of the deployment depends on specific requirements. It takes a day and a half to complete.

I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten. It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality. It is worth the money. There are much more costly products in the market.

We pre-analyze the existing environment of the customers’ network and make suggestions for essential changes in the product. I rate it an eight out of ten.

We are a systems integrator and offer Ubiquiti WLAN as a solution to our clients.

Most of our clients prefer to eliminate the use of China brands, and Ubiquiti, being from the US, is something we can offer to them as a good alternative.

So, it's a good alternative. 

If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So I believe 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. Currently, having two different platforms makes it more complicated for the end-users to manage and modify their devices.

We have been using Ubiquiti WLAN for seven years now. We currently use the latest version.

I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. Based on our previous installations, once you install the device, you can just leave it or forget about it. You can enable auto-pilot or automatic updates unless there's a bug or fix that needs human intervention, then that's the time you need to repair or modify the system. But from all the projects where we installed this product, we didn't encounter any issues.

I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable. 

We don't usually communicate directly with Ubiquiti technical support, but we try to participate in the Ubiquiti community. However, some of the answers in the community are misleading. So instead, we rely more on watching YouTube videos or listening to reliable video tutorials from experienced users.

The initial setup is straightforward. The only thing to note is that the edge max or the edge switches and the unified systems are two different platforms, which can make things more complicated for end-users managing two different platforms.

We are using a mixed implementation. So we use on-prem, and we also use some managed services for our clients.

We handle the maintenance in-house. Two engineers are usually involved in maintaining the Ubiquiti WLAN.

As for pricing, we are getting a good price from our distributors, and it depends on the complexity and scale of the project, so we can negotiate for more discounts based on the volume of orders.

We charge for technical support, but we don't charge for any license renewals or recurring costs related to licenses.

You cannot compare Ubiquiti to Cisco because Cisco is for enterprise, and Ubiquiti is for SMB. So it's hard for me to make a direct comparison.

We used Cisco Meraki for deployments, and we have also worked with other competitors of Ubiquiti, depending on the specific needs of the customer.

So, we work with multiple products based on the customer's requirements.

In terms of technology, we have observed consistent updates to improve functionality and simplify the solution.

I would definitely recommend using the solution. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

We use Ubiquiti WLAN to connect different departments of our organization. It helps us in blocking and allowing access to the network.

The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard.

Ubiquiti WLAN's features need improvement for enterprises compared to other vendors. Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better. The product should have features similar to Cisco in terms of R and D for environments. Additionally, they should introduce certification programs for people to learn more about it.

I rate the platform's stability a seven.  

I rate the platform's scalability a six out of ten.

They have a lot of documentation and YouTube tutorials. However, the technical support services could be better.

The initial setup is easy. I rate the process a ten out of ten. It can be deployed on hybrid as well as private and public clouds. It takes a few minutes to complete depending on the network size.

Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product. I rate its pricing a one out of ten.

I advise small and medium-scale companies to use the product. I rate Ubiquiti WLAN a six out of ten.

I use Ubiquiti WLAN to provide Wi-Fi in the hotel industry.

We've received positive feedback from our clients after deploying Ubiquiti WLAN, which has improved our confidence and reputation as a service provider.

Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software. We can download this software anytime without licensing fees, and once deployed, the access point instantly synchronizes with the system, which makes configuration faster and easier. Other valuable features include Ubiquiti WLAN's signal reach and penetration, single view of all access points, and captive portal system, which you can use to generate tickets for guests and allow them to log in using the password.

Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins. There are also occasional issues with syncing the controller software.

I've been using Ubiquiti WLAN for three to four years.

Ubiquiti WLAN's stability is good.

Ubiquiti WLAN's scalability is good.

Ubiquiti's technical support is satisfactory.

Positive

The setup is straightforward; for example, deployment will take around four to five days for a three-story building with fifteen to twenty rooms.

We use an in-house team.

We've received a decent ROI from Ubiquiti WLAN.

Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase.

I evaluated Cisco Meraki and Ruckus.

I would rate Ubiquiti WLAN seven out of ten.

We use the solution to send CCTV camera images via a wireless network to make a surveillance system in remote areas.

The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti WLAN is its stability.

The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations.

I have been using Ubiquiti WLAN for 15 years.

Sometimes, we notice the devices get disconnected from the network for a few seconds or minutes and then come back again. This is unacceptable in the CCTV field because the client needs to see the cameras twenty-four hours a day without any drop in the video. Sometimes, a few minutes could disappear because the signal travels through the air, which annoys the client.

I rate the solution’s stability for outdoor environments a six out of ten.

Our clients for Ubiquiti WLAN are mostly small and medium businesses.

The solution’s initial setup is very easy.

The solution's deployment time depends on the type of project and its goal. The implementation may take one or two months. However, configuring the devices didn't take much time and was done in a matter of hours.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten.

The solution allows us to enter some projects where the network is difficult to implement. We could easily implement a CCTV project without needing a wireless network, so it supports us in doing this in some project areas. I would recommend the tool to other users.

Overall, I rate Ubiquiti WLAN a seven out of ten.

Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability. 

The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day. 

Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing. 

I rate the product a six out of ten. 

The solution's most valuable feature is its pricing.

They should improve the solution's online console. Also, they should work on making its AP features stable. Presently, it reboots whenever we make any changes.

We have been using the solution for a couple of years.

It is not a stable solution.

We have 50 solution users in our organization.

The solution's support team needs to be more responsive.

Negative

The solution could work better. I rate it as a five.
