We performed a comparison between Cisco Wireless and Ubiquiti WLAN based on our users’ reviews in our categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Both solutions received very positive reviews from users. Cisco Wireless has a slight edge over Ubiquiti WLAN since users feel it has better stability and better technical support.
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The simplicity is great."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The solution is stable."
"The LAN network conductivity is good."
"From my experience, I have found Cisco Wireless to be scalable."
"You need to learn the technology but after that the setup is easy."
"For me, there are two important features: 1) WLAN grouping – Allows us to have different groups and, within those groups, specific WLANs, so there is no overlapping. 2) FlexConnect – Enables us to have remote offices at different locations. We can have a central WLC to control all the locations."
"Our environment has many devices constantly moving within our environment—approximately 3,000 devices daily, many of which change locations every 45 minutes. Therefore, the tool's seamless handoff is valuable for us. It's one of the reasons we have stayed with the product."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Wireless are security and the ability to manage everything easily. Other solutions, such as Aruba are not as simple."
"The product is compatible with a lot of mobile devices."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources."
"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"The most beneficial thing about Ubiquiti is that it is simple to deploy."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."
"The price could be better."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"The current issue with Cisco is I don't have centralized management."
"The solution doesn't have much coverage area."
"In the future, I would like to have Cisco add video documentation on configuring and overall learning of how to use the solutions. For example, in such areas as, security, authentication, and load balancing."
"The GUI could be made more user-friendly. There should also be a dashboard where it can showcase how many end-users are connected to a particular access point."
"The product’s interface must be improved."
"The coverage area of Cisco Wireless could improve. Additionally, the reports when a problem arises could be better, such as how it is done in Aruba Wireless solutions. In the Aruba wireless solutions, there are reports that are provided regarding uploads, downloads, and other internet activity that are useful. If this feature was added to Cisco that would be a benefit."
"The configuration interface could be easier. They should make roaming easier and should fix it so that when you cross a building you can keep the signal."
"Cisco is costlier relative to other solutions."
"I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"The room for improvement is in the controller levels."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
"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."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features."
