We performed a comparison between Cisco Wireless and Ubiquiti WLAN based on our users’ reviews in our categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Both solutions received very positive reviews from users. Cisco Wireless has a slight edge over Ubiquiti WLAN since users feel it has better stability and better technical support.
"The solution is very secure."
"The simplicity is great."
"The solution is stable."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"It is a stable solution."
"We were able to utilize the elements of the core and provide a solution to our customers similar to that of Cisco Meraki."
"The initial setup was quite easy. We have a very good relationship with our integrator and our integrator has a good relationship with Cisco. The integrator that installs Cisco is quite knowledgeable about the technology. They are trained and have a good relationship with their tech. We cannot be experts in each domain and we have to be supported by an integrator."
"The installation process is very easy."
"The tool is mainly improving our productivity."
"The switches can even detect cable issues which quite often can be the main cause for a call-out within my business."
"The solution is easy to use and its stable."
"With Cisco Wireless we have DNA technology for the frequency in which it operates, so that in case of any frequency interference it can look for and switch to another frequency, where there no interference."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."
"The management features are valuable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."
"The most beneficial thing about Ubiquiti is that it is simple to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"The solution is not complex to deploy."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component."
"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."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"The price could be better."
"An expensive solution that small companies cannot afford."
"The coverage area of Cisco Wireless could improve. Additionally, the reports when a problem arises could be better, such as how it is done in Aruba Wireless solutions. In the Aruba wireless solutions, there are reports that are provided regarding uploads, downloads, and other internet activity that are useful. If this feature was added to Cisco that would be a benefit."
"Many wireless controllers' firmware have bugs in their new releases, which are not stable, especially in an environment with many wireless AP (WAP) types."
"The product could be improved with interference reduction. Because wireless frequency interferes with microwave or Bluetooth technologies, this causes issues. A lot of users still use legacy wireless adapters and black box and they do not experience the speed that they could get using the latest technologies. The number of devices on the market makes wireless communications complex. If the problem of interference could be resolved it would further improve utility and ease of system design."
"In this part of the world, support is the weak side of this solution."
"The configuration interface could be easier. They should make roaming easier and should fix it so that when you cross a building you can keep the signal."
"The price could be better. The configuration is also complex. It would be better if there's an NEC solution. That's one of the things we really want to have. It should also be as fast as possible."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"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."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
