"Technical support has been good."
"The most valuable features for network performance in the solution are reliability and centralized management through a single controller."
"The most valuable features of Cambium Networks Wireless WAN are cloud management and links."
"The solution's coverage range is good, it is easy to use, and deployment is very easy and user-friendly."
"It is highly scalable. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"When we log in to the device, we can easily configure it. So it is quite user-friendly."
"The pricing of the product is very, very reasonable."
"It is easy to deploy and has many specialists to help us handle complicated processes."
"Ubiquiti wireless proves especially helpful in scenarios requiring mobility."
"It allows us to offer policy control."
"The pricing of the solution is excellent. It offers a great value."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a simple and useful tool that offers good performance."
"The most valuable aspect of Ubiquiti is the ease of setup. It's easy to set up, secure, and use. It works on an adoption basis. I can pull the system up, design a network, and pull 20 different Ubiquiti units into it."
"We use the solution for many of our smaller customers and the cloud management aspect of the solution is very good. If you compare it to other vendors that have a controller, it's much easier to manage the cloud-based solution because we travel a lot. It allows us to manage everything from any place."
"The most valuable feature is more access points."
"It functions properly and includes centralized management for access points and switches."
"The installation is difficult."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"The solution's price could be better."
"If someone wants to go to the location-based portal of the product, like the one available in Meraki, it would not be possible, and it is an area that needs improvement."
"The range of the product is disappointing so far."
"The Wifi coverage and throughput performance of Cambium could improve."
"Sometimes there are some latencies in devices. Otherwise, it is, for some time, not as stable."
"Pricing tends to be higher than its competitors."
"Ubiquiti isn't as good for larger networks as any of the other wireless solutions. It lacks performance, coverage, and some of the advanced capabilities other solutions have."
"The solution should offer simpler management for guests. That would be helpful in the hospitality industry, for example."
"Better security is important because we need to have some degree of control over who is connected and how we can restrict the level of connectivity."
"They should have more VLAN features and a designing tool like a link planer."
"Central monitoring is the main functionality that should be included in the product."
"o if you are setting up any other third party product or any other different product, it sometimes can be a bit difficult. With Ubiquiti, you need to set up because you can adopt the product and that's it, where if it's not a Ubiquiti product it can sometimes be a difficult setup."
"Tech support is mostly remote and could be better."
"We tried to create an access point with built-in voice and sound that we could use in schools, for example. We tried to create something that could play sounds or messages out of the access points. We wanted to, for example, use it as a school bell instead of using other equipment. It didn't work very well. It turns out when you connect to the Ubiquiti Wireless access point, it's not possible to send simple messages (like what is going on in the canteen, or some news update for the school, etc.). We had to use the on-premises version, as the cloud version wouldn't allow for this."
