NadirShahzad - PeerSpot reviewer
Wireless projects run smoothly with more access point support and competitive pricing
D-Link Wireless offers more supported APs to the WLC with the default license compared to other brands like Cisco. With Cisco, only four to five APs are connected with the default license, but D-Link Wireless provides more flexibility. Local support in Pakistan is necessary for those with limited budgets, creating a reach in the market.
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

Pros

"This is an affordable product that offers good performance. This is why it is popular with our customers. It offers good speed and bandwidth."
"This product is user-friendly and we can manage it as per the requirements of the user."

"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."

Cons

"D-Link Wireless’s stability needs improvement."
"Sometimes we configure the SSID with a password but the same AP shows two WiFi connections with the same SSID name (one is protected by a password and another one give access without a password)."
"It would definitely help if we had more advanced features for distributing bandwidth."
"In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch."
"The solution's performance could be improved."
"The performance offered by D-Link Wireless can be a bit problematic at times, owing to which it is an area that can be considered for improvement."
"The cloud managed solution needs improvement, and they should focus on the SD-WAN segment with regard to integration."
"The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network."
"The product must provide better warranties."
"I think the main area for improvement with Ubiquiti WLAN is that they need to be far more specific in explaining the advantages of one product versus another. They have many access points - over 30. We often get questions about the right product for specific circumstances, and it's difficult to answer them clearly."
"A potential improvement could be the addition of artificial intelligence features, similar to what Ruckus offers."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
"The logs are not detailed enough. You can't clearly see what is being blocked in Ubiquiti WLAN, making the troubleshooting process a little bit harder."
"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
