"It's a well priced solution and as far as I'm concerned, it's enterprise class."
"I like that it's very easy and very stable. It's easy to install as well."

Being more vocal about a product that has many advantages would go a long way to eliminating a lot of the confusion and negative perception about Virtual Cell and Single Channel Architecture."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"The roaming of Fortinet FortiWLM could improve when comparing it to other solutions. We are missing some of the functionality in the controller. Additionally, they should offer more logs instead of using FortiAnalyzer because all the users will not be using the same thing."
"When using the FortiGate as the wireless controller, you cannot have automatic user registration, which is something that they should offer."
"This solution should be easier to set up in a production environment."
"Cost is something that could be improved, but you have to pay for what you get."
"In the next release, they could improve by adding a controller-less server, or architecture that is provided in other solutions, such as Aruba. This would be a great benefit for customers."
"Areas for improvement would be the compatibility with Apple products and cross-platform integration."
"I would like a better explanation or better documentation on how to use the onboard spectrum analyzer."
"Sometimes we have some micro breaks we do not know what causes them."
"o if you are setting up any other third party product or any other different product, it sometimes can be a bit difficult. With Ubiquiti, you need to set up because you can adopt the product and that's it, where if it's not a Ubiquiti product it can sometimes be a difficult setup."
"The technical support is less than stellar."
"My company has to wait for a response from the product's support team. From an improvement perspective, the product's support team should be quicker to respond."
"The documentation and support provided by the solution areas of concern where improvements are required."
"The network setup could be a little easier and more straightforward."
"We'd like them to improve aspects of device management."
