Kannan Venkatraman - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a lifetime warranty, is reliable, has good technical support, and includes security features
The stability is excellent. It comes with a lifetime warranty. Even if you're going through a difficult patch. If there is a failure in that scenario, it is very minor. We were never encountered that, but If it happens, it's probably due to a web party, such as a power fluctuation. Even our power supply includes a hardware replacement. As a result, there are no issues with the even power supply's lifetime warranty. In the general market, other competitor products, the power supply will not be covered, even though we are covering the power supply with a hardware replacement warranty. Which is where we have an advantage. Security features are included.
Brian Massey - PeerSpot reviewer
It's cheap and easy to use but isn't suitable for large deployments or complex use cases
Ubiquiti isn't as good for larger networks as any of the other wireless solutions. It lacks performance, coverage, and some of the advanced capabilities other solutions have. Take, for example, integration with FortiNAC. Cisco, HP, and the other big names can move devices from one wireless subnet to another with FortiNAC on the fly, but Ubiquiti cannot. When we connect them to this special network, I have to turn them off and on, disconnect them from the wireless, and then reconnect. Then, it can be put into the correct location, but that's it. It's a small thing, but it's noticeable, It's hard to describe it in terms an end user would understand, but on the back end, it lacks some of those capabilities. It's not a true large enterprise solution. They're fantastic for small and medium-sized businesses, especially for the price, and they perform well when needed. For my part, I would actually like to move to something more appropriate for the size of our network, but again, Ubiquiti is so cheap.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The stability is excellent."
"The tool can work without distributor architecture or seller access points."
"When you go on the website, everything is clear and you don't have to ask questions."
"It is very stable and the equipment lasts quite a long time."
"This access point provides internet to every lab on campus, including the computer laboratory"
"I like the price, quality, and consistency of manufacturing."
"The main strength of Ubiquiti Wireless is the ease of use it provides to users."
"It has a decent portal, and it is usable."
"I like that it's cheaper and inexpensive. It's also easy to use."
"Ubiquiti is about money. If you don't have the budget for IT, you go with Ubiquiti."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is a reasonably priced, easy to use, stable and reliable product."
 

Cons

"The price could be reduced."
"Alcatel-Lucent Teldat needs to reduce its price."
"I would like to see something for remote working."
"We'd like the solution to be more stable and have fewer firmware upgrades."
"This product has issues with scalability and ease of manageability at scale. Security also needs to be improved, when compared to its competitors. Ubiquiti Wireless doesn't have any support that you can call. They only have an online portal where you can access support documentation, but it's not great. You have to figure out issues and solutions for yourself."
"There's one feature missing and that is automatic channel assignment."
"I would like a better explanation or better documentation on how to use the onboard spectrum analyzer."
"Ubiquiti isn't as good for larger networks as any of the other wireless solutions. It lacks performance, coverage, and some of the advanced capabilities other solutions have."
"Difficult to see error logs and locate the problem."
"Everything needs to be professionally done."
"We use different models of the solution but in some cases, the security could improve in the adaptive portal, be a little more robust, and easier to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a one-time licensing fee. There is no need to renew it."
"I don't find this solution expensive but pricing is relative."
"The solution's licensing costs are one-time. It is not expensive. I rate its pricing a four out of ten. It provides us with a lifetime warranty."
"The most valuable aspect of Ubiquiti is the price. Compared to competing solutions like Cisco Aironet, HP Aruba, ExtremeWireless, or Ruckus, Ubiquiti is the cheapest by far. It's not even close. That's their biggest selling point."
"We initially spent around 10,000 euros on this solution and have been running it for several years. An access point costs approximately 160 to 180 euros."
"From a pricing point of view, Ubiquiti is excellent."
"The price of Ubiquiti Wireless is affordable, we pay approximately $100 and $150 per access point."
"We don't have any licensing costs in our use-case. It's low cost, perhaps not the leading edge in the industry, but for the type of industry we work in, the cost suits us perfectly. It's aggressive on price so we can make a margin deploying it, and we can make money managing it for our clients."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is affordable."
"I rate the price of Ubiquiti Wireless a three out of five."
"Once you purchase the solution the license is included."
