    Ultimately the cloud access from anywhere, responsive mobile app, and integration into UniFi ecosystem win over the competitors.

    Prior to this, we used Cisco Meraki wireless access points, which did not allow for centralized control, therefore several access points shared the same SSID. Because the client's movement from one device to another was not as seamless and reliable as it is with the current …

    Wifi signal and management are superior. I have many SonicWall TZ units with Wifi that are basically useless and added a Ubiquiti unit in place of the Sonicwall Wifi. Netgear nighthawk has a good wifi system but doesn't have the range Ubiquiti does. Netgear is great for the …

    I like both products. Management is similar. Ubiquiti is more cost effective for small businesses, you can do more for the same money.

    Chose UniFi Cloud Gateways
    When looking into Cisco options for WWAN, there were two issues we encountered. Up front as well as yearly maintenance costs for each device was considerably more expensive than the Ubiquiti options. And, although the Cisco options have more options to configure, it requires …

    amer is literally rebranded Ubiquiti wireless points. They make you pay the annual fee. We cancelled our contract and were able to wipe the firmware and add them back to the Ubiquiti controller. Amer is a big waste of money.

    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.

    Cons
    Ubiquiti Networks
    • 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.

    We have not needed to contact support, except to replace one device that was damaged in shipping. The company immediately issued an RMA without delay, and we had our replacement product within a week

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.

    Return on Investment
    Ubiquiti Networks
    • 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.
