Simple to set up and reliable with a great mesh system
Pros and Cons
  • "The setup is quite simple."
  • "The mesh system is great; it enables you to have only one signal for the whole building."
  • "The Unifi controller software has a small issue."
  • "The Unifi controller software has a small issue. When you install it on one PC, it will be stuck to the same PC."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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. 

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

How are customer service and support?

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.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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. 

How was the initial setup?

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.

What about the implementation team?

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

What was our ROI?

I have yet to witness an ROI. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

What other advice do I have?

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

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Easy to install with fair pricing and decent features
Pros and Cons
  • "It is very stable and the equipment lasts quite a long time."
  • "The solution has been stable for us; we don't see that many problems, and some equipment has lasted ten years without any problem, making it very reliable."
  • "It's hard to get stuff delivered on time."
  • "Technical support needs improvement."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for its wireless access points and wireless connectivity.

We are mainly using it for outdoor use and they're quite unique in that sense.

What is most valuable?

The ease of installation is excellent.

The product portfolio fits well and the pricing is good. Functionality-wise, it's been great. 

Feature-wise, it does what it should do. 

It is very stable and the equipment lasts quite a long time. 

You can scale the product quite well.

The product offers fair pricing. 

What needs improvement?

It's hard to get stuff delivered on time. That's a problem for us. 

The WiFi 6 equipment is not available. That's an issue. That's more of an availability and electronics problem.

Technical support needs improvement. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We've used the solution since 2012 or 2010. It's been a while. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution has been stable for us. We don't see that many problems. Some equipment has lasted ten years without any problem. It's very reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is very scalable. 

Our customers range from small to very large companies, and it can handle any size pretty much.

How are customer service and support?

A colleague of mine deals with support. 

In the past, it was perfect. However, lately, it has been a bit hard to get the right answers. This could be improved. We need more direct contact with the technical department.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We are running Cisco equipment mostly. From time to time, we run some of Ubiquiti's Wireless equipment as well. We've also worked with HP and Aruba.

The only difference is the life cycle of the product. They can be quite short, and that's a problem regarding maintenance and upgrading or expanding equipment and expanding installed solutions with similar equipment. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is very reasonable. 

The costs vary. Its pricing ranges from 1,000 euros to 30,000 euros. The average price might be 10,000 euros. 

What other advice do I have?

We are a reseller, and we add functions to it as well.

I'd recommend the solution. It's not that hard and not that complex. 

I would rate the product eight out of ten.

An affordable solution that offers excellent network management and remote access
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "We want to run an efficient business and scale the business well, and not have to hire too many people to do the job."
  • "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."
  • "The strength of the routers could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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. 

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Ubiquiti Wireless for three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How are customer service and support?

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

How was the initial setup?

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. 

What was our ROI?

We have absolutely seen a return on our investment.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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. 

What other advice do I have?

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.

Inexpensive with good WiFi coverage and good reliability
Pros and Cons
  • "Overall, it's a straightforward solution."
  • "We've sold more than 500 and we maybe changed three wireless access points in five years."
  • "There isn't any technical support."
  • "There isn't any technical support. There is only a forum where it is hard to get answers."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for small businesses.

How has it helped my organization?

We found the WiFi coverage good and it was easy for the company to set up. It continues to be stable as well. 

What is most valuable?

They are our cheap solution. It's not overly expensive to use.

They integrated well within our small business, which was required.

It's a stable solution. 

We don't have any issues when it comes to running a standard deployment. 

The coverage of Wi-Fi is good.

Overall, it's a straightforward solution.

They do offer a lot of documentation.

It's very cheap to replace, however, they last a while. If you want to buy one, it's no trouble. We've sold more than 500 and we maybe changed three wireless access points in five years. 

What needs improvement?

Especially after the last year, we would prefer if there was an option to have complete cloud control and not local control. It's better to have something that's completely cloud-based. 

There isn't any technical support. There is only a forum where it is hard to get answers. 

If you buy one and you would like to extend the warranty, you don't have the possibility to extend the warranty. If the full warranty expires, if the Wi-Fi brakes, you must buy a new product.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is quite good. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze it is reliable. It's been issue-free.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The product can scale. 

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is non-existent. They have only a forum where you can ask other people or maybe technician questions. However, usually, when we post an issue, we never get an answer

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We've used many different solutions in the past and really like Ubiquiti. Our clients have used Fortinet and Meraki, however, those are best suited for larger enterprises. 

How was the initial setup?

The solution is very easy to set up. 

We basically just propose the solution and the client will look at the price and agree to it or not. If they do, we install it. that's our basic implementation strategy.

You can deploy the product in about two hours. You only need one person to deploy it. It's not labor-intensive. 

Depending on the customer, we may have only one site or maybe multiple sites where we need to deploy the solution with one controller. Some customers have only one site, and others might have ten. All the sites may be interconnected by a VPN.

What about the implementation team?

We are able to install the solution ourselves.

What was our ROI?

I'm not sure if the customer has seen an exact ROI.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The price of the product is reasonable. While I can't speak to the exact pricing, it is quite inexpensive. 

You don't need a license. You simply buy and install the device. 

For €100, you have Wi-Fi and you don't have to worry about a license. For the customer, it is a good solution. With Meraki, for example, you must buy the product, you must buy the license, and you have a license with an annual commitment or a pluriannual commitment. Clients must pay every time. With Ubiquiti, you buy the device, similar to what you would install at home, and you don't need to worry about anything else.

What other advice do I have?

We are a customer and an integrator.

It's my understanding that we are using the latest solution, based on the firmware that they released.

It's got a pretty low learning curve. You might only need one day to have a look at it and understand everything. 

I'd rate it eight out of ten. It's pretty great for small businesses, however, to take it to the next level, a large company likely will need to acquire it. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

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.

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.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have experience with Meraki.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Ubiquiti Wireless is a cheaply priced product.

What other advice do I have?

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.

We like that there's one pane of glass that we can look at everything through.

The ease of deployment is great.

It is stable. 

The solution can scale.

It offers fair pricing. 

What needs improvement?

The accessibility to technical support could be better. We'd like to actually speak to a person without going through chat. We'd like real-time assistance when we are trying to resolve issues. 

With our configurations, the UX could be better. With Cisco, for example, there are certain things you can do that you just can't do on Ubiquiti.

We'd like to be able to use COmmand Line instead of the UI. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for five years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I'd rate the solution eight or nine out of ten in terms of stability. It is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable solution. I'd rate its ability to scale eight or nine out of ten. 

How are customer service and support?

Technical support needs to be better. They need to be more responsive and easier to reach, especially when we need to speak with someone for troubleshooting. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very simple. It is not overly complex. 

What was our ROI?

I have witnessed an ROI. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is pretty good. It is reasonable. 

What other advice do I have?

We may use the latest version of the solution. It depends on the client's deployment. 

I'd advise people to do their research and have a good understanding of the product.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
