Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Unifi equipment across our org and all of our clients. It is used to provide network connectivity to both wireless and wired clients in a variety of indoor/outdoor setups.

Pros and Cons

Mesh Wifi
High Density wifi
Roaming between multiple APs
Ease of configuration/deployment

Customer support is lacking but we rarely need any support.

Return on Investment

It allows us to provide stable wifi connectivity while maintaining a competitive price point.
Ease of management, time to configure/modify settings is greatly reduced compared to other solutions.

Alternatives Considered

Aruba Networks Wireless LAN (WLAN) and Cisco Meraki MR Series

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.

Support Rating

Tech support is less than desirable, however, the products are solid enough to not need much support.
