Ubiquiti WLAN Reviews

We use the product for high-performance wireless networks.

The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component.

During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface. A few other vendors, like Fortinet, Zoho, and Azure, provide an option to switch to a power shell console directly. It has a hyper installer to make the process quick. There could be a similar option for the product for easier implementation.

We have been using Ubiquiti WLAN for four years. At present, we are using the latest version.

I rate the product’s stability a nine out of ten.

I rate the product’s scalability an eight out of ten. We have medium to enterprise customers.

The product’s initial setup is easy. I rate the process an eight out of ten. The complexity of the deployment depends on specific requirements. It takes a day and a half to complete.

I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten. It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality. It is worth the money. There are much more costly products in the market.

We pre-analyze the existing environment of the customers’ network and make suggestions for essential changes in the product. I rate it an eight out of ten.

I'm using it for access and coverage for my devices.

For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature. 

In my opinion, Ubiquiti has made significant improvements, but there is still room for growth in certain areas. While I believe that Ubiquiti is an excellent brand and offers high-quality devices, I think they could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device. This would eliminate the need for separate devices, such as a cloud key, to ensure access through the cloud. 

For instance, individuals who cannot afford a UDM and want to control their devices from Nextiva are forced to buy additional devices from other brands that have this built-in option. I believe Ubiquiti can improve in this aspect and find a way to integrate cloud access into their devices.

For professional use, I used this solution about three or four months ago. But I use it every day in my house.

When the system or the app access point is properly provisioned and configured, it's very stable. However, if you have roaming activated without a mesh, it's not always stable. Specifically, I'm referring to roaming using WAPAP Elite or WAPAP Pro. In this type of configuration, it's about 85% stable.

I would rate the stability an eight out of ten. 

I have used other solutions that were mostly cheaper and less feature-rich. For example, they had limited capabilities for creating hotspots, LANs, Wi-Fi LANs, controlling bandwidth, and creating additional SSIDs. I used options like Keppel Link and Tandem, which are mostly consumer-grade brands. I'd look to brands like Cisco Wireless, Cisco Meraki, or Huawei if I needed more advanced solutions.

The initial setup is very easy. In my opinion, the interface for configuring security devices is simple to use. It didn't take me long to set it up, but it depends on the complexity of the deployment. For example, I configured it on my personal device, but the same deployment would be different for on-site setup. 

The pricing is very reasonable, so I'd rate it a two out of ten, where ten is expensive. There are no additional costs or fees that I've encountered.

The main differences between Ubiquiti WLAN and other WLAN solutions, in my opinion, are the quality of the product and the simplicity of the configurations and setups. Ubiquiti WLAN is of higher quality than many other options, and the initial setup is more user-friendly.

With the new feature that comes to us, everything is going wireless. We have brands like Cambium Networks and Huawei. With Ubiquiti WLAN, it's a benefit for all of us because everything is more stable, and there's a good relationship between the price and the quantity of products we have. It's a good option to choose a reliable device like WLAN. So, I think everyone will learn how to implement WLAN solutions with brands like VPN. It's very, very user-friendly.

Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

I use Ubiquiti WLAN to provide Wi-Fi in the hotel industry.

We've received positive feedback from our clients after deploying Ubiquiti WLAN, which has improved our confidence and reputation as a service provider.

Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software. We can download this software anytime without licensing fees, and once deployed, the access point instantly synchronizes with the system, which makes configuration faster and easier. Other valuable features include Ubiquiti WLAN's signal reach and penetration, single view of all access points, and captive portal system, which you can use to generate tickets for guests and allow them to log in using the password.

Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins. There are also occasional issues with syncing the controller software.

I've been using Ubiquiti WLAN for three to four years.

Ubiquiti WLAN's stability is good.

Ubiquiti WLAN's scalability is good.

Ubiquiti's technical support is satisfactory.

Positive

The setup is straightforward; for example, deployment will take around four to five days for a three-story building with fifteen to twenty rooms.

We use an in-house team.

We've received a decent ROI from Ubiquiti WLAN.

Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase.

I evaluated Cisco Meraki and Ruckus.

I would rate Ubiquiti WLAN seven out of ten.

Support could be better.

Regarding WLAN, you can use multiple channels to increase the number of access points. Apart from the number of devices limitation, these switches are relatively scalable and functional in wired networks. They can also work in various scenarios. However, I recommend using a different technology if the network size exceeds a certain threshold.

I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.

Ubiquiti don't support direct channels. You have to go through the retailer or distributor to obtain the devices. Consequently, if you encounter any issues or need device replacements, getting them sorted out might take time despite adequate technical support.

Neutral

The product is a little expensive.

NPM makes it easier to integrate. It's integrated with other network devices.

There was a time when we were using Cisco switches and attempting to integrate Ubiquiti UniFi switches into our network infrastructure. Eventually, after some effort, we managed to understand the process. Initially, it was challenging to configure the unified console to manage virtual networks alongside internal networks effectively. We had to comprehend how both systems would integrate carefully. It became apparent that maximizing the usage of Cisco switches required a thorough understanding of how UniFi operates at the backend.

I recommend the solution.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance. 

The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability. 

I have been working with the solution for 20 years. 

Ubiquiti WLAN's setup is not difficult. 

The tool's price is good and falls somewhere in the middle. 

I would rate Ubiquiti WLAN a seven out of ten. 

Ubiquiti WLAN is a management and the layout. You must do your own design work to determine where you want to place the devices. 

Once they are in, and because you can have multiple access points, the handoff between different access points, one to another, is really nice. 

You are not losing signals, dropping connections, and other such things. 

It is all very good.

It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable.

With newer products, to be precise, you want to know what their plan is, and where are they heading. Because you want to make wise choices. And, once again, the same product does not last indefinitely. 

You are always coming up with new ideas and improvements. 

But you want to know where they see themselves going in the future. 

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.

Ubiquiti WLAN is stable. It just works.

I am the only one who does a lot of the management. 

There are a couple of other people who use it, but there are probably a lot of people and customers making connections and using it. 

There are no complaints. Nobody is unhappy. If no one complains, it must be doing well.

I've never dealt with technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward.

They give you a lot of options, but most of the defaults are good. 

There are some configurations you will want to do over time as you learn. But, it is simple. 

I work with some products where figuring out the configuration is extremely difficult and requires trial and error. It is simpler and easier to use with Ubiquiti.

This solution requires very low maintenance. If something goes wrong, I find out about it and either make a quick configuration change or do something similar, or every now and then, something goes out or doesn't work properly and I have to replace it. That would be a lot if I had to do something once a year.

It is a stand-alone price.

I purchase the product. You can buy them in bulk and get several pieces of hardware at once. 

It is a one-time investment. I do that, and it works perfectly.

It works well, It's a good product, I would rate Ubiquiti WLAN a nine out of ten.

We use the solution to send CCTV camera images via a wireless network to make a surveillance system in remote areas.

The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti WLAN is its stability.

The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations.

I have been using Ubiquiti WLAN for 15 years.

Sometimes, we notice the devices get disconnected from the network for a few seconds or minutes and then come back again. This is unacceptable in the CCTV field because the client needs to see the cameras twenty-four hours a day without any drop in the video. Sometimes, a few minutes could disappear because the signal travels through the air, which annoys the client.

I rate the solution’s stability for outdoor environments a six out of ten.

Our clients for Ubiquiti WLAN are mostly small and medium businesses.

The solution’s initial setup is very easy.

The solution's deployment time depends on the type of project and its goal. The implementation may take one or two months. However, configuring the devices didn't take much time and was done in a matter of hours.

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 solution allows us to enter some projects where the network is difficult to implement. We could easily implement a CCTV project without needing a wireless network, so it supports us in doing this in some project areas. I would recommend the tool to other users.

Overall, I rate Ubiquiti WLAN a seven out of ten.

Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability. 

The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day. 

Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing. 

I rate the product a six out of ten.
