Ubiquiti Wireless Reviews

We are a system integrator and this is one of the solutions that we provide to our customers.

This solution is used for an on-premises WiFi access point.

The indoor WiFi connection works well.

Some of our customers have reported problems with their outdoor WiFi connections.

We have been using this solution for about five years.

That stability of this solution is ok.

This solution is easy to set up.

We provide Professional Services for our customers, which includes deployment.

The price of this solution is ok.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We mostly use the solution for Wi-Fi access points. Mostly it's indoors, but sometimes it's outdoors as well.

We use the solution for many of our smaller customers and the cloud management aspect of the solution is very good. If you compare it to other vendors that have a controller, it's much easier to manage the cloud-based solution because we travel a lot. It allows us to manage everything from any place.

We tried to create an access point with built-in voice and sound that we could use in schools, for example. We tried to create something that could play sounds or messages out of the access points. We wanted to, for example, use it as a school bell instead of using other equipment. It didn't work very well. It turns out when you connect to the Ubiquiti Wireless access point, it's not possible to send simple messages (like what is going on in the canteen, or some news update for the school, etc.). We had to use the on-premises version, as the cloud version wouldn't allow for this.

Ubiquiti has a lot of cool features but not everything is included in the management portal. I'd like to see a bit more added, like sound messages and the camera system. They should be part of the management platform and not part of a standalone system.

I've been using the solution for four years or so.

The stability is okay, but we do have problems if we use it for heavily populated areas (like an airport). We sometimes lose connectivity, but normally we use it for not so populated areas. For a normal-sized school, there's no stability problem. It works very well there because it's relatively small.

We've never had to contact technical support. We fix any problems ourselves.

The initial setup, at least the switches in and the access points, is very easy.

I handle the implementation myself. I'm a WI-FI technician, so other people tend to ask me for help.

We don't pay any licensing costs. You can choose a subscription package it you prefer, or just pay once.

We are a reseller of Ubiquiti hardware.

We always use the most up-to-date version of the solution and update it all the time. We use the private cloud deployment model. We've also used the on-premises deployment model, however, most clients prefer the private cloud.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

I installed the Ubiquiti UAP-AC-Pro at our HQ, which is a converted church. The WiFi coverage is excellent, thanks to the 3x3 MIMO antenna.The dual band throughput is very fast and extremely stable. Ubiquiti use their own UniFi Controller software, which is regularly updated with new and improved features. It is an enterprise Wireless Access Point at a domestic price.

It provides effective wifi service to complement our data network infrastructure. We are located in an area where WiFi penetration is high and yet we have not suffered from interference, which might be due to careful management of frequencies that have been set manually. This was possible due to the RF Spectrum feature within the AC-Pro AP. These are incredible features for a device ranging around £130.

The UniFi Controller Software provides excellent statistical and monitoring facilities. The 3x3 MIMO antenna provides excellent coverage and the product is well supported by Ubiquiti in terms of firmware updates. Installation is easy with seamless integration of additional APs. The dual band wifi provides very fast throughput of 450 Mbps at 2.4 Ghz and it claims 1300Mbps at 5 Ghz although I have not witnessed this so far but our fibre connection to the internet is currently governed at 100 Mbps duplex. The AP has been running in excess of 2 years with no glitches whatsoever.

The product technical support could be better, although the user forum is extremely useful. I have run chat sessions with Ubiquiti tech support, which was very helpful but you can sit in a queue for some time, depending on the time of day.

One to three years.

Customer Service: Very good.Technical Support: Excellent.

I have used Osbridge and Alvarion. Both very expensive.

Intuitive setup, Very easy to configure.

In-house.

Excellent!

Cambium, Motorola and Delibernt.

For a small WISP it's the best price/performance solution.

Range, Reliability, Price

Enables desktop network wide management with minimal learning curve.

End Point data collection. Aggregated (single screen) multi endpoint bandwidth monitor would be a big help. To see which endpoints are consuming most bandwidth in real time.

3 Years. The products I use are airMax, EdgeMax and airVision.

In house

Excellent!

Under $15k setup costs. Approx 50 man days per annum maintenance.

Get training first before deploying. I didn't (due to location) and wish I could have. Learning by doing is not the best way of doing things. However, once up the curve of this equipment is very straightforward to deploy.
