"I like the simplicity, the ease of use."
"The main strength of Ubiquiti Wireless is the ease of use it provides to users."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a simple and useful tool that offers good performance."
"I like that it's cheaper and inexpensive. It's also easy to use."
"I would say that the user experience is pretty good in this solution as well as the roaming solution part of it."
"The failure rate is very low on these devices - I've had them installed for five years and have only lost one out of a hundred."
"The Cambium user interface and configuration should be improved."
"If someone wants to go to the location-based portal of the product, like the one available in Meraki, it would not be possible, and it is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution's price could be better."
"One drawback is that Cambium's on-premises controller needs internet connectivity for installation, which can be a problem for clients who want it offline."
"The product could have more access points to increase the network coverage."
"The installation is difficult."
"There is room for improvement in the support."

"I would like to see more cloud features that some of the other competitors such as Cisco Meraki have that are very nice."
"The control system can be improved by making it easier."
"Its stability could be better."
"Ubiquiti Wireless could improve stability."
"One of the Ubiquiti access points broke down, and it can't be used. It's still down now, so overall Ubiquiti hasn't been a good experience for me."
"The solution needs to improve its features and offer more to the customer."
"Ubiquiti Wireless could improve by being more user-friendly and easy to use."
"Performance could be improved in the solution because when I compare it with Ruckus and other APs, some of those APs are better performing, so you don't have to deploy too many APs to get the same level of Wi-Fi coverage and stability. It's not about how many clients the solution can handle, but it is more about stability and coverage. Another room for improvement in Ubiquiti Wireless, compared to other brands, is that it doesn't do well when used in an office network. It has a limitation on how reliable the AP of the system is."
