"The most valuable features are ease of deployment, ease of use, and the interface."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is very scalable. I don't know that there's a limit to the scalability. We just add more data switches to power more access points. We haven't come across a situation where it can't handle the Ubiquiti equipment."
"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."
"Ubiquiti outdoor access points in particular, are really stable, and if there are no obstructions, Ubiquiti works well."
"Setting it up wasn't so complicated. It is reliable. Security-wise, we didn't have much trouble, but that could be due to our environment. We haven't had so many attacks, at least up till now."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti Wireless is the ease of configuration."
"I like that it's cheaper and inexpensive. It's also easy to use."
"It's very easy to use. The hardware is very easy to use, compared to Microsoft. Microsoft is more complicated. It has software that is okay if you are familiar with it. In my opinion, Ubiquiti hardware is more heavy duty then Microsoft."
"There is no centralized management for multiple wireless control deployments or a user tracking feature."
"The network management system is not great."
"Technical support could be more helpful."
"Pricing is very high with Cisco products. It's something that many people complain about. They should work to make it more affordable."
"The firewall integration is not great."
"The tool's speed and IP address acquisition from the domain controller should be improved"
"The support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We cannot use wireless for the servers due to potential performance issues. They must be connected via fiber."
"In Ukraine at least, it's a problem when it comes to buying the hardware. For example, I made a request for 20 switches a few months ago. The solution needs to have worldwide availability."
"The documentation and support provided by the solution areas of concern where improvements are required."
"There is really nothing wrong with the product but there are ways the utility and features can be expanded to meet future demands."
"My company has to wait for a response from the product's support team. From an improvement perspective, the product's support team should be quicker to respond."
"The solution should offer simpler management for guests. That would be helpful in the hospitality industry, for example."
"There isn't any technical support."
"Ubiquiti Wireless could improve by being more user-friendly and easy to use."
"There should be an easier way to contact the support. If we need to do something on it, it will be easier and faster if there is a support number to call. Currently, their support is mostly through email or chat. If there is a hotline that you can call directly, that would be good. It will really help a lot. They should also include more after-sales support. They can maybe also provide more details on what's happening with the network."
