We performed a comparison between Cisco Wireless and Ubiquiti Wireless based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about HPE Aruba Networking, Cisco, Ruckus and others in Wireless LAN."Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The simplicity is great."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The customer always feels confident with the solution because of its reliability."
"Device profiling allows us to have different policies applied by ISE to wireless clients."
"Compared to other solutions, captive guest network is one of the best isolation and tunneling."
"Cisco's support team is the best in the industry."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"One of the main advantages of Cisco Wireless is its DNAT compatibility. When we have dynamic segmentation, or the DNAT enabled on the LAN, Cisco Access Point integrates with the DNAT architecture. Aruba Switches cannot integrate with the Cisco DNAT architecture."
"Authentication is the important feature for us. My IT staff no longer has to look after catering to clients who come from overseas."
"It gave us the ability to view wireless traffic, unwanted devices on the network, and how they affected overall network performance."
"The most valuable feature is more access points."
"The solution offers us good situational awareness by providing information on user activity, signal strength, and all the data that you need to manage the system and understand issues."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is extremely easy to set up."
"Ubiquiti is easier to install than Mikrotik."
"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."
"It's a well priced solution and as far as I'm concerned, it's enterprise class."
"It allows us to offer policy control."
"It functions properly and includes centralized management for access points and switches."
"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."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"The price could be better."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"They should introduce zero interference capabilities."
"Cisco Wireless does not have a dashboard that would make it easier for people to manage the solution, such as Cisco Meraki where you are able to monitor the network through the dashboard and everything is visible making it easier."
"Room for improvement wise, the wireless coverage of Cisco's equipment could be better for the price position. That is, I think that the radius for the coverage could be better to make it worth the price that we pay for it."
"Cisco Wireless needs to improve compatibility with Apple devices. Its deployment should also be made easier. It should also reduce the complexity around security."
"The main concern is the length and overlapping. We have to put on four to six access points on the same floor, and we face the issue of overlapping areas. If Cisco can extend the range of their indoor APs, we would need to install just one or two access points, and it would eliminate the problem of the overlapping area."
"There should be an option for a wireless bridge that can be used to join two access points."
"Apple is definitely causing a lot of issues by turning on more security features on its equipment. It is causing more problems on the business side. One is what they call a randomized Mac address that Apple has put out. As far as I know, Cisco doesn't have a fix for that."
"Sometimes I've seen some issues come up with the interference. That's an issue users face at times. It becomes very complex when you have a lot of wireless interference in the area, or in your office. It's because of the environment of Cisco. Maybe, in the future, they can work on this area, and fix this issue."
"Ubiquiti Wireless could improve by being more user-friendly and easy to use."
"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."
"The solution should offer simpler management for guests. That would be helpful in the hospitality industry, for example."
"The technical support services need improvement."
"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."
"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."
"We have an issue with Ubiquiti Wireless every three to five months for one of the access points."
"The accessibility to technical support could be better."
