Overall Satisfaction with Ubiquiti Networks UniFi

Ubiquiti Networks UniFi's strength is in its ease of deployment, use, mass management, restoration, price, and dashboard information. We use it for multiple client sites and manage it under one roof. The biggest issue it addresses is keeping hundreds of access points, switches, and controllers all doing their thing. It also is good at adjusting multiple access points automatically so they aren't stepping all over each other if a perfect site survey hasn't been done.
  • Easy deployment
  • Simple management
  • Excellent dashboards
  • Overall pleasant GUI
  • Hardware released too early
  • BGP not available
  • All configuration recommended to be done via GUI
  • Almost zero calls from customers with WiFi issues
  • Cheaper than Meraki or similar equipment
  • Lessened device management workload
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.

Do you think Ubiquiti Networks UniFi delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Ubiquiti Networks UniFi's feature set?

Yes

Did Ubiquiti Networks UniFi live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Ubiquiti Networks UniFi go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Ubiquiti Networks UniFi again?

Yes

Ubiquiti Networks UniFi is suited for multiple site deployments at small to medium-sized businesses while being able to keep track of hundreds of devices. It is not ready for Fortune 500 network infrastructure where you have tens or hundreds of thousands of devices. It is also likely unnecessary for home usage, though I do like their sister WiFi router/mesh called AmpliFi.
