Ubiquity is easy to configure, first-time installation and management is a lot easier, the controller is free of charge and access points worked well with the software controller.
Cisco is a much more industry standard integrated solution. However with that comes a lot of bloat & a lot of settings that just aren't needed. UniFi is really a great competitor because it's so light that you could use this solution in your house if you really had the drive …
Cisco Meraki; Aruba; Juniper: I've looked at all of these. I have a ton of experience deploying and using Cisco Meraki. I love their solution. You get such a high level of technology with all the protections afforded by Cisco on the backend. However, the primary reason I choose …
D-Link Wireless solution is another one of the cost-effective wireless solutions in the market and it does really well for small businesses. however even a slightly higher traffic load brings the performance of the wireless APs down and sometimes they hang and need to be …
I prefer Cisco Meraki MX when compared to the similar solution from Unify. Cisco Meraki is much more stable and the cloud interface is quite better. Cisco Meraki belongs to a more expensive price range, though. I believe that Ubiquiti Networks UniFi is a good solution for the …
Ubiquiti is overall easier to work with. There is no special training needed to accomplish many of the things required with a Cisco product. Since my time is stretched thin, I need something that I can manage without being weighed down by command-line communications. Also, I am …
Aruba is expensive. Very expensive compared to Unifi. Their power requirements tend to be higher as well. It makes Unifi an easy choice over Aruba. That being said, Arubas are very well made devices. I feel their interfaces are a bit more cumbersome than Unifi. Between …
Ubiquiti is the worst of all network products I've ever used - with the worst support. Even Netgear - as much of a joke as they are - have better products and support.
Ubiquiti uses profiles to manage their devices, like other vendors, but the functionality, easy of configuration, automated updates make Ubiquiti a better fit for SMB.
When compared to the leader, Cisco, Ubiquiti Networks UniFi cuts costs tenfold and, depending on the needs of the organization, can perform just as well. While not as customizable and feature-full, Ubiquiti Networks UniFi equipment does provide reliability and function at an …
Cost is very competitive as compared to other products that we tested against ubiquity and the availability of hardware in our region is very easy as compared to other products, device was readily provided by vendor for testing purpose, while other devices were not readily …

Chose Ubiquiti Networks UniFi
Cisco is far more enterprise-level, and if your network is already all Cisco, it ties in well. Of course, that means it's as complex as Cisco gear usually is--each feature comes with more to know and understand, whereas the simplicity of Ubiquiti Networks UniFi makes it far …
They are two different animals. One was an enterprise-level CLI-based deployment/management tool I used at VZW and the other is a GUI deployment/management tool fit for small/medium businesses that don't want to devote teams of people to manage it.
We studied on Cisco Wireless AP Aironet 2800 series and Ubiquiti products for wireless connectivity plant to remote locations & we chose Ubiquity due to its price range, specification, and durability (radio device best in outdoor), and long-range but smooth connectivity. (We …
D-Link Wireless solution is another solution in the market. it is a cheap wireless solution. it is well suited for small business environments with fewer users. It does not perform well with a high density of users. Cisco Wireless solution is best for high-density environments …
Quality has a cost, it's true ... But in some cases it's unjustified. There are many "famous" brands of switches and network equipment, often with exorbitant costs. Ubiquiti has an honest cost and respectable performance. Few frills, probably a bit immature software than the …
We have compared other lines of wireless APs and have not been able to find a reason to switch. Ubiquiti's pricing model wins compared to Cisco and other's subscription-based models. We cannot find enough functionality in the more expensive lines to justify switching.
Cisco Meraki's solutions closely provide the benefits Ubiquiti provides with a more consumer-level financial accessibility. Ubiquiti has been exponentially increasing its attention and being implemented by home users means gaining a huge market within users that are attentive …
One way of looking at network equipment is by grouping all into two categories: Standalone, and Centrally Managed. Most home or SOHO network equipment is standalone, meaning each device is configured individually. If you need to adjust settings off-site, you need to allow it …
They are massively different but mainly on cost. The APs I was considering with Aruba was about $5K apiece and the APs from Ubiquity Unifi is $100 and I know they would do things differently or so I am told, but I just cannot say that I am suffering and would benefit from the …
Unifi trails the competitors in the switch/gateway category but exceeds all competitors in WiFi and IP cameras. Cisco Meraki equipment is too expensive along with monthly costs. Netgear equipment is fine for simple networks but a small increase in upfront spend will get you …
Ubiquiti is a large product line. The switches are great, but only layer 2, and don't have a ton of super advanced features. So they won't meet everyone's needs. The Access points have most features people need, and are a fantastic performer for the price. The UniFi Security …
