"We feel that Cisco is quite expensive, so we're looking for a reasonable alternative. We are considering Aruba and some other brands that are less expensive. Cisco works fine, but the issue is the annual licensing and support costs."

"They should have more VLAN features and a designing tool like a link planer."
"The Unifi controller software has a small issue."
"Everything needs to be professionally done."
"This might not be the best solution for a very large organization."
"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."
"The product lacks some security features."
"Tech support is mostly remote and could be better."
"Their stock is a bit low compared to others, making it difficult to purchase."
