F5
You're looking for something very comprehensive. F5 gets you covered and a very standard approach. A nice, a very simple workload. That would be if you are in the bleeding edge of delivering something very new, there will probably have problems using F5. I wouldn't become an F5 there For the main cases, F5 is a good solution.

Ubiquiti Networks
Ubiquiti's wireless WAN solution is suitable for usage in businesses of all sizes. Smaller businesses may not profit as much from the integration of Wi-Fi devices due to the high expense of doing so, hence the cost-benefit analysis favors larger businesses. In big and medium-sized businesses, having access to such tools improves network security and administration by allowing for several, conceptually separate networks to be managed and made available from a single Wi-Fi access point.

  • Supply can be a problem, especially for new products. We have had to sometimes wait for months for supply to come in.
  • No phone support. Only email/chat. can be frustrating sometimes just texting someone, but have not had to contact them very often.

Because I'm a cybersecurity expert. I'm always lacking the cybersecurity part, but it's more of my ADM than others. If it wasn't for that, I would probably rate in a 10.

managing other products (NS) are a pain in the neck and make me want to pull my hair out. Im sure there are things that the F5 can improve on and their road map and ideas are at the cutting edge. I cant wait to see how their plans work out and make the product better in the future.

In the past, we used D-Link wi-fi devices, where centralized management was not possible, distributing the same SSID through several devices. Which cost configuration time and instability in the use between one point and another, because eventually, this transition between a device and another by a client was not transparent and functional as it is today with the Ubiquiti solution.

  • Huge cost savings. Buy it once and you are done, no annual renewals.
  • Extremely reliable and scalable. We went from 0 to 900 Chromebooks in 2 years.
  • Very little maintenance, set it and forget it. Allows us to focus on other tasks.
