Find out in this report how the two Wireless WAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Recently, the most valuable and in-demand feature that users are enjoying is WiFi 6 support on the access points. The other good thing about Cisco Wireless LAN is how easily it provides clean access to the WiFi network."
"The program is very stable."
"The initial setup is straightforward, and you need to spend around six to 10 weeks to set up one controller."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Cisco Wireless WAN is stable and scalable, and the support received is good."
"I like how the look and feel of the product is standardized to match other Cisco solutions."
"I am impressed with the tool's packet tracing so that connection with the devices is always consistent."
"The implementations are easy."
"I like that it's cheaper and inexpensive. It's also easy to use."
"Ubiquiti is intuitive. The management interface is user-friendly. You can easily make changes and do the things that need to be done."
"I like that it's very easy and very stable. It's easy to install as well."
"They are reliable in terms of wireless connectivity."
"Their hardware is very good."
"I like the price, quality, and consistency of manufacturing."
"The solution is easy to use and flexible."
"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 price could be better."
"The prices are high and should be reduced in order to be more competitive."
"Pricing is very high with Cisco products. It's something that many people complain about. They should work to make it more affordable."
"We found the initial setup to be a bit complex due to the CLI commands."
"The solution could lower its pricing to make it more affordable."
"The console interface is not very user-friendly. It's a bit complex and difficult to navigate."
"We would like to have the lead times improved."
"You cannot go to different versions or different access points. 9115s cannot interact with 9120s, and 9130s can interact with 9115s. You can add or remove as many subordinates as you want."
"One of the Ubiquiti access points broke down, and it can't be used. It's still down now, so overall Ubiquiti hasn't been a good experience for me."
"This solution should be more robust when it comes to connectivity and improve wireless technology."
"It's hard to get stuff delivered on time."
"They have access points that are in the firewalls, and I believe the firewalls could be significantly better. They use the USG firewall, which I believe is a poor device. VPNs for example, it is really bad, it is difficult to configure, and I don't like them at all."
"The product lacks some security features."
"The accessibility to technical support could be better."
"Ubiquiti is also slow to adopt new technologies. We are transitioning to Wi-Fi 6, and there aren't many products. They have mostly Wi-Fi 5 products, but there are only two Wi-Fi 6 products. It's okay for places we have already equipped, but it's a bit hard for new places."
"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."
