Ubiquiti WLAN supports operations in applications like agriculture and light industry where interconnectivity is required. It's typically used for local LAN applications rather than Internet-based operations, though it does rely on Internet infrastructure. I rate it an eight out of ten.
I rate the overall solution a six out of ten. It improved productivity by reducing errors and supporting our expansion to 1,200 laptops. I recommend it for small environments due to its good coverage, stability, and easy management. Overall, I'd rate Ubiquiti WLAN as eight 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.

For its price, I won't buy it for a business environment since there is no support and it can be a problem. I wouldn't know any advanced features the tool has currently. Ubiquiti WLAN is for Wi-Fi access. I don't know much about Ubiquiti UniFi and what it offers these days. For network performance, I would say it works fine. There is no need for maintenance in the solution. If I consider the trends that I am most excited about when it comes to Wireless networking and if I consider how Ubiquiti aligns with them, I would say that for wireless tools, the best in the market right now is Ruckus, and after that comes Cambium, but Cisco cannot be considered among the best. Ubiquiti would be an entry-level device. I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
Ubiquiti WLAN makes it easy to group access points, manage traffic efficiently, ensure connectivity, generate reports, and facilitate maintenance and troubleshooting. The equipment is quite very easy to understand and use. It should increase the capacity to improve the analytical part. Many wireless devices are attempting to automatically detect interference issues. Working towards automatic interference detection and frequency shifting for stability is crucial at this point. This approach could potentially simplify licensing and operational concerns. Overall, I rate the solution an eight-point five out of ten.

What we see is that a lot of customers are changing from Ubiquiti to Aruba and Huawei networks. Before choosing the solution, you should do a site survey and evaluate other solutions on the market. We have some customers that use the Ubiquiti WLAN, and we support them. But overall, it's a very limited solution. The solution works for some kinds of customers, but it's very limited for big customers. I rate Ubiquiti WLAN a six out of ten for large environments. But I could give it an eight out of ten for smaller usage.
I rate Ubiquiti WLAN a ten out of ten. When it comes to the solution, I've always recommended that if they have a smaller group and want to use a solution with peace of mind, they should go with Ubiquiti. It's easy to set up, and we didn't need any support. But as we scale up and the numbers increase, just think about migrating to another tool for security reasons and robustness.

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.
We use a variety of versions of the solution. Ubiquiti is good even for large corporations. It's a very stable solution. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I'm an end-user. My company does not have a business relationship with Ubiquiti. I don't have details on the versions or the models the company is using. I'd rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Ubiquiti is a very cost-effective and reliable solution for WLANs if your needs are relatively simple. Ubiquiti's line of APs and switches are a great fit for most small to medium size businesses that only need VLANs, a few SSIDs and secured WIFI networks. The wireless signals are solid, and the management of the equipment is relatively easy to understand and perform.
I'm not at all a fan of the USG routers as they are the weakest link in the Unifi lineup due to a lack of features beyond the most basic. Since the router/gateway functions are built-in to the Dream Machine products I'm not a huge fan of those either. I think the Dream Machine is a great solution for home users but not a business unless the business is really small and basic in feature requirements. My biggest complaint with the gateway solutions is the lack of ability to support more than one live Internet-facing IP address. VPN support is weak also except for site-to-site between Unifi gateways. Of course, there are a lot of small businesses that only have basic needs that the USG/Dream Machine solution would be fine for. You just need to know its limitations and compare them to your needs before purchasing.
For MSPs, I recommend checking out Hostifi's cloud-based controller service to manage a lot of devices. For smaller organizations with only a hand full of devices, the UCK-G2 or UCK-G2+ provide a more cost-effective management solution. The Gen 2 controllers are pretty stable compared to gen1 but I recommend powering them via POE with a solid UPS on the POE switch. As of 2022/Ω4, the UCK-G2 has been impossible to find (out of stock) for at least 6 months.
The good news is the UCK-Gen2+ is only $20 more. You can schedule controller config backups to a micro SD card. You have to manually download a controller config backup to keep offsite.

Ubiquiti itself, is a good company to start with. Ubiquiti is the best choice for small companies because of the easy installation, their variety of products, and their integration, and you can manage all of your devices from a single controller. As of right now, I don't have any switches, just Ubiquiti access points, and a controller, but we can manage any device that is manufactured by the same vendor. This is a great feature to have. I, personally, have never used the switches. I am not sure what the capabilities of it are, or what the throughput is. If you are a small or medium-sized company, it will ease your life. It will present you with dashboard, and management capabilities. I haven't seen that ease with other vendors. Ubiquiti offers you a simple way to manage it. I don't know if it can be used in large companies, where you have large environments to manage, or with data centers or services that you offer on a large scale (over 200 AP/switch devices). I would rate Ubiquiti WLAN a nine out of ten.
I'm a customer and an end-user. I'm using a couple of different access points. The AC-LR, UAP Lite, In-Wall units and also the mesh APs, I use all lines of the access points. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations.
On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Ubiquiti WLAN at eight. We needed a team of two for deployment and maintenance, and we have 50 users at present.
We are resellers and installers. My advice to other companies considering this product would be to get a consultant in order to do a proper site survey. Planning is super-important, no matter what device or product you ultimately choose. At the end of the day, if you don't plan properly then you can't expect the deployment to be rolled out properly. You need to do proper feasibility on-site. You need to make sure that the areas that you want to be covered will be covered properly. This product is pretty easy to get set up and get going. For that reason, I'd rate it at an eight out of ten.

We are a customer and an end-user. We don't have a business relationship with the company. I've run an internal audit about the company's Wi-Fi solution properties, all the main metrics about the solution. I was told that there was interference between the channels due to the fact that we have many floors and the floors are where the conflict comes in. Even though the channels were set up automatically by the solution, there were too many APs on the same floor, and that caused the interference to become an issue. It was not caused by the specific solution, however, the fact that their solution was not capable of fixing that automatically or doing something to let me know that that problem was being caused by too many APs density was not the best response. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. We've had problems with interference, however, that issue aside, the value you get in terms of features and pricing is quite good. It's not the most mature solution, however, it does offer a pretty good set of features overall.

I am not going to use this solution anymore in the future, I am going to use Aruba. However, I do find this solution cost-effective, it could be suitable for those who do not need some of the advanced features competitors have. I rate Ubiquiti WLAN a seven out of ten.
My advice for anybody who is implementing Ubiquiti is to first make sure that you have a good plan first. Make sure that you have done your homework in terms of the space where it will be installed. The best is if you're replacing the existing solution, you should still review the placement. The reason is that nine times out of ten, you'll use fewer Ubiquiti devices than you would if you were using Aruba, or Meraki, or some other brand. You don't need to buy as many, even though with the budget you have you can buy twice as many access points for the same money you would spend on Meraki, but it's overkill. You don't need that many. So, be conservative about the number of access points that are put out there. This is to say that you have to do a really good survey. Look for metal plating, look for the line of sight access, so that you put the access points where they can actually see each other. Make sure that the access points are not too close to each other, but not too far away. That's the whole thing. I go with 50 or 75 feet away, in tight spaces. Overall, I feel that this is a good product. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
