It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."
"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The solution is expensive."
"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."

"FortiAP is very good in an indoor environment, but we are struggling with the outdoor environment."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"The logs are not detailed enough. You can't clearly see what is being blocked in Ubiquiti WLAN, making the troubleshooting process a little bit harder."
"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, 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."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"The solution should improve stability."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
