"HiveManager is extremely easy to use for anyone with little network experience."
"The cloud management gives us the tools and reports that we need to monitor and troubleshoot the network."
"The cloud-based controller through HiveManager is its most valuable feature. I can manage and configure changes to my access points from anywhere."
"This solution's most valuable feature is its short deployment time."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The solution is scalable."

"Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones."
"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."
"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
