"Aruba Instant can improve by increasing the gigabit range of the switch or by adding additional management features and tools. It can be helpful."
"It uses a different portal and has limitations from the customer side as it's not refined for MSP."
"It is a software characteristic, and it is during the reboot. During the startup of the AP, the AP tells you that you are using the wrong password. However, I have realized that this is not true."
"The only issue we've had is getting equipment supplies. The availability of the APs that I want to use has been an issue. It took almost two months to get them the first time. I've ordered a few more for another client, and they're still on back order. It has been over a month now."
"They should enhance reporting and add more features."
"This solution would be improved if they supplied free software controllers."
"The security features must be improved."
"They could provide a centralized system to manage switches incorporated into multiple branches."
"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."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
"The solution should improve stability."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
