Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers

We use Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers for the mobility and proper handshake between the APs, which it does great, and other controlling options like Radius integration, Captive portal, and mac-binding are the plus points.
  • Clean Air - interference Mitigation.
  • Swift switching in the roaming between APs.
  • Dashboard can be improved and more user friendly.
  • Mac address support per SSID should be increased.
  • User roaming within the organization without disconnection.
  • Captive portal option.
  • AP authentication.
  • It supports the latest APs so it is easy to upgrade the network.
  • It's with the small form factor and low budgeted device with most functionalities.
Unifi Controllers are not much stable in terms of connectivity and user handling, also Unifi controllers are installed on VM which is also a dependability whereas Cisco WLC is a separate appliance.
