I used Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, and Check Point. We chose Ubiquiti WLAN since it was ten times cheaper than other products.

Sometimes, we need two to three Virtual LANs for more complex configurations. Depending on the use case, if we need a more extended central management system for several hundred access points, then I prefer Ruckus.

However, if we don't have a large size, then Ubiquiti is a real option for us. From a price-to-performance ratio, Ubiquiti WLAN is better than Ruckus for our needs in the countries where we use it. Ruckus is more expensive than Ubiquiti WLAN.

I have used other solutions that were mostly cheaper and less feature-rich. For example, they had limited capabilities for creating hotspots, LANs, Wi-Fi LANs, controlling bandwidth, and creating additional SSIDs. I used options like Keppel Link and Tandem, which are mostly consumer-grade brands. I'd look to brands like Cisco Wireless, Cisco Meraki, or Huawei if I needed more advanced solutions.

I have experience with products from several vendors. Some examples are EnGenius, Fortinet, Cisco, Juniper, Aruba, and Cisco Meraki.  There are differences between them and some of my colleagues are upset with the security levels that are offered by some of the other vendors.

For example, if you want to compare Juniper to Cisco, Cisco settings are not as secure. The group settings are much higher in terms of encryption on the Juniper than on the Meraki. And, if you want better security, which is group 14, you can't do that unless you call them up and they actually set it for you. So that's on the Meraki side, or Cisco.

In terms of support or how things actually happen under the hood, some people liked Meraki the best. I am leaning towards liking Meraki more, but there are some drawbacks. As far as the support is concerned, or the overall experience with the solution, Ubiquiti is simple and easy and inexpensive. You go to Meraki or you go to Aruba or you go to the others, it's a lot more money.

For many years, I use the EnGenius products for Wi-Fi. Pretty much all the access points we were selling to our clients were the EnGenius brand. Then we went to Ubiquiti and I was happy because it was much easier, I can manage it in one place, it's better, and I don't have to update things as much if I choose not to. With EnGenius, I never changed anything. I set it once, and I forgot it, and there's something to be said for that. You just set it and forget it and leave it. But the EnGenius, if you have to do troubleshooting then it is quite a problem because the management is terrible.

I have experience with the Ubiquiti UniFi solution. I have been working with it for three years. It's pretty stable.

I have also, worked with Hewlett Packard and Cisco. 

The command line breaks the point for troubleshooting and for managing the information, as mostly things are done using a GUI on Ubiquiti, it really gets way easier to identify the issue sometimes.

I've worked with Aruba in the past. I've worked on some projects lately where you go to some clients that have Aruba installed. I just find that the interfaces, and the set-up, and the manageability of the network is pretty complex with Aruba. The license cost - to actually maintain it, is fairly exorbitant. I don't see the benefit of Aruba compared to Ubiquiti.

I have also used Aruba and Cisco Meraki wireless but the cost is higher with those solutions.

We were using Cisco prior to switching to Ubiquiti but the solution didn't have an interface to centrally manage all the devices. Our company is a multi-seat environment so Ubiquiti is very useful. 

The main difference between Ubiquiti and other solutions is the wireless coverage and the equipment. The device in itself is solid, It has all the functionality that I need.
