Featured Reviews

ALEXANDRE VIANNA - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalable and AI-driven automation helps in quick implementation
I have a global customer who wants to start the design phase in a big warehouse, but we do not have the equipment to do a site survey. I need support for the access point to implement in a freezer area. I do not have it. The customer tried to send one piece of equipment to Brazil. However, we had a problem because the customer needed to implement it in three months, and it took two months to send one equipment to Brazil.
Gabriele-Pizzigati - PeerSpot reviewer
Managing installations through one interface enhances efficiency but AI features improvement
Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product. It provides one interface to manage all installations, allowing me to monitor all customers through the same web interface. The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most useful aspect of Mist AI and Cloud is automation capabilities."
"The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."
"Mist is a really good tool that provides essential AI information from an operational point of view, covering both wireless and switching."
"The most valuable aspect is that they operate on small microservices, offering numerous open APIs that enhance the value of our Wi-Fi network. This flexibility allows us to optimize various aspects such as workforce planning and occupancy management. The platform is highly open in the market, providing robust APIs for seamless integration with other tools. Currently, we leverage these capabilities at a building site, incorporating IoT sensors to gather data. The collected data is stored in a centralized location, and we plan to use AI for analysis. This analysis will include insights on peak activity times, humidity levels, temperature variations, and other relevant metrics within the building."
"The AI deployment process involves adding access points and placing them in the designated area. The AI system automatically adjusts channel selection and transmission power without any issues with stability or throughput. It has improved network performance."
"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"AI is the most valuable feature."
"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
"The initial setup process was relatively straightforward, with only minor challenges typically caused by user errors, such as password mismatches."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"Great management interface."
 

Cons

"Regarding opportunities for improvement in Mist, it is notable for its robust cloud portal and integration of artificial intelligence into various services, creating a highly efficient environment for work. However, a drawback lies in the cost associated with its WiFi offerings. With a pricing range of twelve hundred to fifteen hundred dollars for a single Access Point, exclusive of the subscription, it is acknowledged as a relatively expensive solution in the realm of WiFi services. Despite this drawback, the positive attributes of Mist make it a noteworthy option."
"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."
"Configuration could be improved."
"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."
"If there's one thing I'd like to change, it's the pricing. They are quite expensive, but honestly, it's justified by the value they provide. However, for a simple Wi-Fi connectivity with basic security needs, there are alternatives in the market that offer comparable features at a more budget-friendly price."
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it."
"There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."
"The solution should improve stability."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
"When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."
"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Depending on the features, I think it's quite reasonably priced, especially considering the facilities of the product."
"The solution is expensive in Brazil."
"Mist AI and Cloud is expensive."
"The price is not cheap, but it's a reliable solution and very easy for management."
"I rate the pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high."
"The price of this product is approximately the same as competing products in the market."
"The custom licensing is a little bit expensive and I would rate it 7.5 out of 10."
"The annual cost is a significant issue for us, and it notably contributes to the overall price. We have a customer with nearly fifty-eight access points in a multifunctional building, and while the setup was relatively simple, the yearly licensing cost is substantial. For the specific features we utilize, the licensing amounts to about forty thousand euros annually. This is not a trivial expense and significantly impacts the overall cost, making it quite high."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is less expensive than Ruckus, but its price could be improved to make it more affordable and accessible."
"The solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
