Ubiquiti Wireless Other Advice
I rate Ubiquiti Wireless seven out of 10. If you're considering Ubiquity, you should look at the scale and the scope of your deployment. Ubiquiti is a great solution for a small or medium-sized company if you're not trying to do really sophisticated networking.
I've consulted for small clients where I think it would make sense. You actually see them a lot in hotel rooms. If you are looking to do more advanced wireless stuff or like network access control or wireless containment, and you're trying to control a larger network, you probably should go with one of the high-end solutions.
I would recommend this solution to other people as it's a good solution. I would also advise them that if they have voice services and they want to have it connected everywhere in their building, this tool is for them as it's quite good on roaming and has a good quality for voice and pictures in live streams.
I would rate this solution a nine, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

I do have a couple of access points at home. The one that I'm using at home is from Ubiquiti: Ubiquiti Wireless, and it is on a private LAN.
I'm rating Ubiquiti Wireless an eight for home use, and a seven for office use. For the product in general, my rating is seven out of ten.
My advice to others looking into implementing Ubiquiti Wireless is that if you are new to networking and you're trying to get into understanding the modular network, equipment, and hardware, or if you're a novice just starting to improve your network at home, I would strongly recommend starting with Ubiquiti Wireless, because it's affordable and it's a bit user-friendly. If you think the solution meets your requirement, then you could probably stay with it, but if you think it's underperforming, then you can consider other brands.

A scenario where Ubiquiti Wireless significantly improved our company's network connectivity stems from the fact that it is really simple and intuitive to use. Before Ubiquiti Wireless, my company used other brands that were complicated and hard to configure. And Ubiquiti Wireless has a pretty clear web interface. For mobile devices, the product is really easy to configure.
The most beneficial part of the solution related to network management stems from the fact that it is possible to get it configured and used via a mobile phone application. The product is usually versatile and allows users to configure the tool in many ways, including adding it as a bridge between one tool and another. There are many ways that the tool can be configured to meet the specific business needs of a customer.
Ubiquiti Wireless' unified controller has impacted the efficiency of our company's network operations since it simplifies the configuration and management of the Wi-Fi network.
The main strength of Ubiquiti Wireless is the ease of use it provides to users.
The maintenance part of the product is pretty easy. Once the product is configured in a proper way, it works forever. There is not much need for a maintenance part until and unless there is a need to change something.
The setup phase of the product is easy, meaning there is less effort required to deal with the setup process, which means fewer costs are involved during the installation for the customer. The installation part of the product is straightforward, which ensures that there is a cost-saving for the customer. During the first attempt itself, you can set up the system in the right way, and there is no need to spend extra time on areas like fine-tuning. The installation is so easy that the product is up and running during the first setup process itself.
I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

I rate Ubiquiti Wireless seven out of 10. These devices are suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. If you use the Edge line of products, you need to understand protocols or networks, architectures, etc. They're perfect because you can almost do everything with Cisco products for a much better price with a significantly lower learning curve.
View full review »We are a customer and end-user.
We're using the latest version and have updated it.
Ubiquiti Wireless is an access point wireless solution. However, I would suggest it more for outdoor use. For outdoor devices, if you deploy Ubiquiti, then you'll get the proper signal and coverage. If you are in a building, or any other premises that have obstructions or hard walls, then I would suggest not using Ubiquiti Wireless. It has less penetrating power. It will not come inside rooms.
I'd rate the solution six out of ten.
View full review »Currently, I see the best value for price in the market regarding Ubiquiti wireless. Also, the delivery time is quite good, and we haven't had any problems. We are using a few models like Long Range, Pro, Wi-Fi 6, NeoGen, and J2028, and they have everything that small and medium businesses need. So, I would recommend this solution to other people.
Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. We are happy with the solution and increasing its usage.

Ubiquiti wireless proves especially helpful in scenarios requiring mobility. Transitioning from wired to wireless connectivity facilitates flexibility for users previously tethered to Ethernet cables connected to switches.
The platform is very simple to set up and provides a lot of information in the network. It is suitable for small companies. I rate it an eight out of ten.

They have a product that is used a lot in Iraq homes, because they use it to get an education, through the internet from an access point. This is used by all people in Iraq. There are some other companies like TP-Link, but TP-Link is not stable. TP-Link has many issues in their products. So you can use this as a normal user in a house and move up to companies even, in some cases.
Depending on the router type, you might have to reset it every couple of days or every couple of months.
I would rate this as nine out of ten, where Cisco would be a ten.

I rate Ubiquiti Wireless eight out of 10. I would definitely recommend Ubiquiti to others unless it's a scenario where you have a massive deployment or the client has an existing Netgear, HPE, or Aruba setup.
Their products are durable and easy to use. Ubiquiti fits into that mid-market segment. Ubiquiti slots in below Aruba, Cisco, and all those heavy-duty systems, but it's still a robust product. In most cases, I'd suggest Ubiquiti over and above your bigger names like Cisco, Netgear, etc. It's definitely a cut above things like TP-Link and Tenda. It has its own market share right there in the middle
When you're managing more units, it helps to have handover and the capacity to switch between multiple inputs and outputs. Ubiquiti handles that well. Obviously, when you have hectic layer 3 networks and huge roll-outs, HPE and all of those other big names are more appropriate products. However, Ubquiti is the most reliable product in 80 percent of general use cases.
The failure rate is very low on these devices - I've had them installed for five years and have only lost one out of a hundred. I'd rate this solution as nine out of ten.
View full review »We don't solely rely on built-in firewall features for enterprise-level security. Instead, we often use another brand or third-party firewall the client prefers as the primary defense. For clients with less sensitive data transactions or those running via the cloud, we trust the firewall features of Ubiquiti's UDM Pro.
I rate the solution overall as a nine out of ten. There's always room for improvement, and we anticipate future developments and innovations.

View full review »I'm a wireless specialist. That's what I do. I design wireless and put them in.
Deployment of Ubiquiti Wireless depends on the customers, but it's not deployed on my premises. I sell it and I design it. I'm an engineer who designs for customers, so we deploy it in different scenarios, but mostly it's deployed into the small business type of environments.
This solution requires regularly maintenance. You have to do firmware updates, and that's it.
My advice to people looking into using this product is that first of all, it would depend on what they are doing. What type of network implementation are they going to do?
Before I give advice, I would be asking a lot of questions. If Ubiquiti Wireless will be used in an educational institution, or in an institution that requires a higher level of security, or one that requires ease of management or good scalability, I will tell them not to use it.
If it will be used in a little cafe and they want to put two access points in, and they want a little guest network that people can sign in, and they want people to be able to log in through Facebook, etc., then using Ubiquiti Wireless will be fine.
Ubiquiti Wireless is a seven out of ten for me, because of its target market, and it does what it's supposed to do in the market it's supposed to be in. It's really good for its price point and for its target market.
I work with Ingram Micro and we sell a large amount of Ubiquiti Wireless, and there's a lot of SME that use them quite successfully. It's just that large implementations can become a huge challenge with this solution.

We're customers and end-users.
We are using the latest version of the solution. We just updated it.
This is a solution for small businesses. It's not so complex. For an enterprise solution, we always recommend Meraki or Aruba. Our first option is Meraki. If the customer requests a more affordable solution, we recommend Aruba. If it's a small business that doesn't have a budget, we obviously recommend Ubiquiti, however, it's not our first option.
I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.
The price and quality are really good. I'm not an expert in this product, however, from what I have witnessed, it works really well. It's just that you can't extend the warranty more than one year, and to have a product where you can't extend the warranty, it doesn't feel like you have much part support.

You have to keep your switches up to date in order to support all of your wireless components. Normally, all of the firmware is the latest version.
When it comes to home solutions, people tend to shy away from Ubiquity. They look at products like TP-Link or Tenda, which are entry-level products. These products are good, but they are aimed at the home market. They're aimed at being straightforward plug-and-play, without any real security worries. Ubiquity is more premium, which is why it is more corporate or for more experienced customers.
While this product is good for small businesses, I would say that you can integrate it into an enterprise solution as well. It's a solid enough product that it will work in an enterprise environment without a problem.
This is definitely a very good product.
I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
View full review »The advice I would give to others looking into implementing this product is this: go get trained and receive their certification first.

My first point of advice is, don't get into it blindly. Although, it's easy to set up, don't get into it blindly. Do a little bit of research on the product before you first open the box because it is not like other products in the sense that it's very easy to set up, but you still have to have a bit of savvy around it. There's no other product in the world that I know of that does the whole adoption setup and control set up the way Ubiquiti does. Other products handle things differently, NETGEAR does it differently. A bit of advice is, go and look at how the adoption process on the switches work and how easy the switches are to set up and learn a couple of the tricks and that's about it.
I would rate Ubiquiti a nine out of ten.

Those wanting to purchase solutions try and balance between the price and features, with this solution it is very cheap in comparison with Cisco and Ruckus.

Ubiquiti for houses is more than enough.
