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. 

I generally use the solution as a wireless access point. 

The solution is not complex to deploy. 

We have found the solution to have good standard features. I didn't find anything special or specific to like per se. 

The pricing is fine. We can afford it and we enjoy the equipment.

The stability isn't so good. I didn't find it very stable due to the fact that we have had troubles with them every once in a while.

The main problem we encounter is that sometimes when we struggle, it's due to the fact that the equipment is always looking for the controller. When the controller is not there, not detectable, the equipment is unavailable, and the connection is not available. When that happens, the users are complaining. There seems to be a drop in service sometimes. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face.

I've been using the solution for about five or six years.

The solution doesn't have the best track record with stability. We don't find it to be very reliable. 

The scalability is slightly limited. You can have 50 users on each one, approximately. It's not as scalable as Fortinet products. 

I've never used technical support. If I have trouble with my equipment, I go to the forum and I get my answers there. With that level of assistance, I haven't had to refer to the support.

The initial setup is very simple and straightforward. It's not complex or difficult. A company shouldn't have any issues with the process. 

We handled the deployment on our own. We don't need any assistance via consultants or integrators. 

The pricing is pretty good. It's not overly expensive. 

You only pay for the solution once. There isn't an ongoing license fee you have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis. 

We are clients and end-users.

I would rate the solution at a six out of ten, mostly due to the fact that we face stability issues. 

There are some connectivity issues that need to be resolved. Additionally, the frequency has to be improved.

I have been using the solution for two years.

I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution.

The solution is scalable.

The customer service is good.

I have one or two technicians that do the implementation of the solution.

It is a cost-effective solution.

I have evaluated Aruba and they have a lot of enhanced features this solution does not.

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.

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.
