Ubiquiti WLAN Reviews

Our company uses this solution extensively and recently we've deployed it for our clients too. I've also been using it personally so it's a flexible solution. There are probably 10 users in my company. I'm a systems and networks administrator and we're customers of Ubiquiti. 

The product has a great management interface. We centralized all the devices which enables the possibility to see the coverage of one device in a plan. It's a nice feature. 

This is not a simple solution like you might find with other vendors. There could be some improvement with the updates and it requires a special environment to manage the Ubiquiti device. You cannot manage a device without the environment. You need to understand the architecture, the environment, and the management of the device which is somewhat complicated. It's not something that anyone can do. 

Another issue is that there's no option to take another device, say a second PC or a mobile phone, and try to manage the environment. It's only the initial device that can be used and you need to continue with that. If you wish to change a device, it requires reconfiguration from scratch. I think this is a negative in the solution. Even with this issue it's still a good solution. 

I've been using this solution for almost four years. 

The solution is stable, but I have experienced an issue with updating lately. Every time I launch the update, the device crashes and I have to manually restart the device, 

Scalability is good. Once the environment is in place, adopting a new device is very simple, 

We were using Cisco prior to switching to Ubiquiti but the solution didn't have an interface to centrally manage all the devices. Our company is a multi-seat environment so Ubiquiti is very useful. 

The main difference between Ubiquiti and other solutions is the wireless coverage and the equipment. The device in itself is solid, It has all the functionality that I need.

Initial setup is a little complicated, because it first requires configuration of the LAN environment before adopting the device. I mention this for those who are not regular users of the product. I don't have a problem with it but I know it's difficult for others. For someone who knows what they're doing, deployment takes about half an hour. 

This is an affordable solution and there are no hidden extras. 

It's important to study the system before implementing in the real environment, because it can be a little bit difficult initially. Once you have experience it's a very good solution. 

I would rate this solution a seven out of 10. 

This is part of our wireless network infrastructure. One of the things that we use our network for is video conferencing.

The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network.

The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved.

I have been using Ubiquiti WLAN for fourteen years.

I have not had any trouble with stability.

We have thirty people in our office and they have different devices such as laptops and smartphones. There are normally around 100 connections at a time.

I have been in contact with online support from the community and it is quite good.

I have also used Aruba and Cisco Meraki wireless but the cost is higher with those solutions.

The initial setup is a little bit complex.

This solution is reasonably priced.

This is a good product and I have already recommended it to two of my colleagues.

Overall,  I am satisfied with the product but it would be great if the signal strength was a little bit higher.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

As a turnkey solution.

Best for SoHo businesses.

Managability and customization

1 year

It was difficult to get diagnostic info as there is no "console" or serial communications.

The product is slightly unstable.

I suspect it does not scale to large deployment or very dense environments, but to be fair I have not done more than 5 at a location.

The technical support is poor. Just a chat window. No actual person to talk with.

I implement many different vendors' equipment as I work for an integrator.

I am the integrator.

If price is the most important factor than this may be the right solution.

I don't think it has.

Yes, Ubiquiti uses a concept called adoption. AP's disappear from management software frequently and the only way to re-adopt AP's is to do a hard reset of the device.

Yes, with some users, the internet connection drops.

3bumen, but it's worse.

Ubiquiti WLAN has allowed us to deploy Wi-Fi as a vast service to allow the customer to get a feel for our internet and then come and purchase the service. We have also deployed Wi-Fi to over fifty government institutions and provided it as a CSR, which improves the lives of students.

Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources.

Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz.

I've been using Ubiquiti WLAN for four years.

Ubiquiti WLAN is very stable.

Ubiquiti WLAN is very scalable, especially if you don't have many requirements or are deploying it on a flat network.

The initial setup is straightforward, and deployment takes around five days.

Ubiquiti WLAN is less expensive than Ruckus, but its price could be improved to make it more affordable and accessible.

I recommend Ubiquiti WLAN for small to medium businesses. I would give Ubiquiti WLAN a rating of eight out of ten.

We use Ubiquiti WLAN mostly for Wi-Fi and internet access to TVs and wireless devices like iPads and phones.

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

Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution.

I have been working with Ubiquiti WLAN for about six years.

I rate Ubiquiti WLAN ten out of ten for stability.

Ubiquiti WLAN is a very scalable solution. Around 50 customers are using Ubiquiti WLAN.

Ubiquiti WLAN's initial setup is straightforward. You won't have an issue if you know how to use the web-based controller. I haven't had any issues with the solution's setup. When I first started using it, it was like a different language, but once you learn it, it's easy.

Ubiquiti WLAN's deployment does not take long.

To deploy Ubiquiti WLAN, you have to first open the controller on your laptop. If everything's wired up and shows up on the controller, you adopt it, add the passwords, and name the access points.

I would recommend Ubiquiti WLAN to other users.

Overall, I rate Ubiquiti WLAN ten out of ten.
