Ubiquiti Wireless Reviews

This solution is widely used in Iraq. 

We primarily use the solution as an access point for hotels. If you want to install a wireless system, you use the products called Unifi access points, and it has a couple of models, like the UAP-AC-LR and a UAP-AC-Pro. This is for making a system for wireless setups for hotels, hospitals, and universities.

The mesh system is great. It enables you to have only one signal for the whole building. For the Mesh system, they have made a new product called Cloud Key, which enables you to keep control of the system. It might be called d the Unifi Cloud Key Gen2. It allows you to control the Mesh system access points remotely, without being connected to the same network. 

It's simple to use.

The setup is quite simple. 

It is stable. 

The Unifi controller software has a small issue. When you install it on one PC, it will be stuck to the same PC. You have to reset the wifi access point to access it from another computer.

We suffer from this issue all around Iraq. If you want in the future to add some features to the access point from another PC, you cannot. You have to make a reset, a hardware reset to the device, and then install the software again. This is very annoying.

I've been using the solution since 2012. I've used it for almost ten years. 

The solution is quite stable, however, it's not as stable as Cisco. Generally, there are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

The solution is scalable. It's very widely used in Iraq. Around 80% of people here use Ubiquiti.

We do the maintenance and support, but I haven't called them directly. I haven't even called the leading supplier directly. If I have problem, I access the forums, and they tend to publish a solution that can solve the issue.

We've also used Cisco. When you go for wireless systems, typically you look at Cisco, however, it's expensive. If you can't afford Cisco, you might look instead at Ubiquiti or Netgear. 

I've also used Ruckus in the past. 

The initial setup is quite simple. It's not too complex. 

The deployment time depends on the device. For the Mesh system, each access point will take around one to two minutes. It will auto-set the device once it's connected to the network. Generally, it's pretty quick, however, if you have a bigger environment, it takes longer.

The amount of technical staff needed to maintain the solution depends on the size of the company using it. For example, if you have a hotel with around 50 wifi access points, you need around two to three people to maintain it monthly.

The solution can be handled in-house. We did it ourselves. Anyone with networking experience can handle the implementation. 

I have yet to witness an ROI. 

There is no licensing cost. Once you purchase the hardware, you just use the product. It doesn't cost any more than that. 

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. 

We are using Ubiquiti Wireless in our company when our invites or customers come into building and they want to connect their devices, such as notebooks and phones.

Using Ubiquiti Wireless has improved our customer service to customers.

We have not had an issue with Ubiquiti Wireless since we have been using it. The solution is highly reliable.

Ubiquiti Wireless could improve by being more user-friendly and easy to use.

I have been using Ubiquiti Wireless for approximately five years.

Ubiquiti Wireless is highly stable.

We have not had to scale Ubiquiti Wireless, but it would be easy if we decided to.

We have approximately 70 connections to Ubiquiti Wireless. We have approximately 60 phones and 10 laptops and other additional devices connected. All our departments are using this solution, such as our electrical and mechanical departments.

We are using Ubiquiti Wireless at half capacity in my company. In the future, we might increase usage, but this depends on if it is necessary.

I have not used technical support for Ubiquiti Wireless.

We previously used an Apple Switch.

The initial setup of Ubiquiti Wireless is easy.

We did the deployment of Ubiquiti Wireless in-house.

We have approximately six people for the implementation and maintenance of Ubiquiti Wireless. However, this team is not dedicated to this solution, they do all the IT work in the company.

We have received a return on investment, the purchase was a good investment. The solution has paid for itself.

I rate the price of Ubiquiti Wireless a three out of five.

We evaluated other solutions prior to choosing Ubiquiti Wireless. We took advice from a partner and choose Ubiquiti Wireless.

The solution was easy to set up and it has been working well for our company. I would recommend it.

I rate Ubiquiti Wireless a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for wireless connectivity to the internet in the office. You can roam around and stay connected easily.

It's a good option for SMEs.

The stability and performance are great.

It's very easy to use.

The initial setup is fairly straightforward.

The costs to use the product are very low.

This might not be the best solution for a very large organization.

They can continue to improve their offering so that they could be used in the future in large enterprises also. It only uses the local connection and it performs to a lesser extent due to this. It's hard to check on things remotely. For example, if I have a branch office somewhere in another city or even another country and someone tells me that something is wrong with the wi-fi or firewall, if I have a good wi-fi solution (for example Cisco or FortiNet), I can simply connect to an access point there. With Ubiquiti, I cannot do that. 

There seem to be no access points in Ubiquiti that allow us to use a double link. There is no link redundancy. If a link fails, I lose an access point.

I've used the solution for a few years. 

The solution is stable and the performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

This is a good solution for small and medium-sized enterprises and not more than that. It might not scale to the needs of very large companies. 

We have up to 100 users at this time.

We will likely increase usage in the future.

I've never had any issues with the product and therefore have never contacted support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be. 

At a previous job, I did work with Cisco. It's hard to compare the two. Cisco is simply on a different level. 

While it can cause some problems in installation if you use a software controller, it's actually pretty easy. If you are familiar with the network protocols it is straightforward.

There's only one person that handles deployment and maintenance tasks. That's me. It's pretty low-maintenance. 

I can handle the initial setup myself. 

The solution is relatively cheap. I personally don't pay for the licensing and therefore can't speak to exact pricing. 

We are working with the latest version of the solution right now. 

If a company is looking for a low-cost option, I would recommend this product. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been pleased with its general capabilities overall.

We're primarily using the solution for WiFi access. It provides us with an access point for the network. The devices are controlled by a controller, and we can apply security policies via our network. This can help control end-users. 

The solution is very simple. The facility of the integration is great.

It allows us to offer policy control.

The solution works very well.

It's easy to set up.

Sometimes we have some micro breaks we do not know what causes them. Maybe it is based on the monitoring of the network, or maybe it is the architecture or the integration of the equipment. The stability could be improved. 

I've used the solution for a while. I'm not sure how long we've used it. It has likely been five years. 

The solution can be more stable. We have had some issues with micro-breaks which have affected connectivity. I'd rate the stability six out of ten.

It is a really scalable solution. 

We have around 100 end-users. Maybe 20 are using the network, with the rest on wireless.

We've never dealt with technical support in the past.

We did have an experience with Linksys. However, it was not a good solution. 

The initial setup is simple to set up. I did not take part in the process. However, I haven't heard of any issues. 

It takes about one hour to deploy and connect a node. It might take a month to set up a full network.

We have ten staff, including managers, that can assist with the deployment and maintenance. 

The operational team handles the setup. It's handled in-house. 

We are a small enterprise. We do not look at ROI. That said, most are working five years later.

We do not have a license. We just pay for the solution. 

We are using the latest version as we always upgrade the firmware. 

I'd recommend the solution.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for wireless connectivity. It's for mobile management. It can manage my switches and everything via mobile. 

It is very user-friendly.

The solution is very straightforward in comparison to other solutions. It's quite quick to deploy.

The solution is stable.

It is scalable. 

It offers very good pricing. 

We'd like the solution to be more stable and have fewer firmware upgrades. More features should be available straight out of the box. It could be less complex and offer more simple principles.

I've been using the solution for a year and a half.

It's very stable. It is reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. The performance is good. 

My understanding is the solution can scale. 

We have four or five people using the solution. It's just for home usage. 

I've never needed the help of technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

We do not use any other solutions at this time.

It is quite straightforward to set up the solution. It is not overly complex. The deployment was fast and took less than a day.

The setup can be done in-house. There was no need to have any integrators or consultants involved. 

The pricing is quite low and very affordable. I'm not sure of the exact cost.

I did not attempt to evaluate other options before beginning to use the solution. 

We have a mixed environment. The APIs are obviously on-prem, and all the management is in the cloud.

I'm using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

If you want a low-cost option, if you don't have the budget, I'd advise you go for Ubiquiti.

I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

We use it to set up wireless WANs ranging from a single access point in a small business to 100 apartments in an accommodation complex.

The solution offers us good situational awareness by providing information on user activity, signal strength, and all the data that you need to manage the system and understand issues. 

The strength of the routers could be improved. When it comes to serious routing, the solution doesn't measure up to the big guys like Juniper and Cisco, but we don't expect it to.

I have been using Ubiquiti Wireless for three years. 

The stability isn't perfect, but that's the nature of a leading edge technology and you learn through working with it.

We've run into a few limitations in what we call large accommodation environments where we've got about 100 wireless devices, trying to do things with USG type routers, onsite controllers, where they run out of capacity. This could have been our technicians making incorrect estimates of what was possible, but we're having to put in small local service to do that function. It would be preferable to have everything occurring in the core router. When that happens, the core device is overloaded and it's difficult to access it remotely. That's been one of the issues we've run into as we've pushed the limit on the number of devices on a single site.
We maintain over 1,000, probably 2,000 devices with just three people.

I can't comment on that as we haven't had to use it much at all.  

I don't do the setup personally, but I can see that once you understand how to roll the solution out, the process is relatively straightforward. Being able to adopt the device, see it on the management system and configure it, are all easy to implement.
Complexity also depends on what you're implementing. Setting everything up in the lab prior to on-site deployment means that you can complete the installation in less than an hour, which makes it look efficient and professional. If adjustments need to be made later it can all be done remotely, this is one of the benefits of cloud management and remote access equipment. 

We have absolutely seen a return on our investment.

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. 

We are a virtual organization with a number of people working from home and coming together to provide solutions.
Most of the equipment switches, wireless equipment cameras etc. work pretty well.
Once everything is up and running, the solution doesn't need much attention at all. That's why we like it. We want to run an efficient business and scale the business well, and not have to hire too many people to do the job. That's working out very well.

In my company, we use Ubiquiti Wireless since it is a very simple product that is very useful for the IT team in our company who manages our office network.

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a simple and useful tool that offers good performance.

The documentation and support provided by the solution areas of concern where improvements are required. If some error occurs in the solution, it is not easy to find a person to help you with the troubleshooting process, and moreover, the product doesn't have an online community website to help users.

I have been using Ubiquiti Wireless for a year. I am a customer of the product.

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

In our company, twelve people use the product.

My company probably has plans to increase the usage of the product.

I have experience with Meraki.

The product's initial setup phase was easy.

The solution is deployed with the help of a router, switch, and Wi-Fi.

The solution can be deployed in an hour.

There is a professional person to handle this step-by-step process of setting up the device.

One person, who is the main engineer in our company, is required to take care of the deployment and maintenance processes of the product.

Ubiquiti Wireless is a cheaply priced product.

Ubiquiti Wireless requires a user to undergo a very easy setup phase, and it is a cheap product.

I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.

An area for improvement is availability - I sometimes have to wait weeks for their equipment.

The technical support is less than stellar.

From a pricing point of view, Ubiquiti is excellent. They charge around $180 per access point, and the switches are around $1,100, including support and a limited warranty.

The failure rate is very low on these devices - I've had them installed for five years and have only lost one out of a hundred. I'd rate this solution as nine out of ten.
