Wireless projects run smoothly with more access point support and competitive pricing
D-Link Wireless offers more supported APs to the WLC with the default license compared to other brands like Cisco. With Cisco, only four to five APs are connected with the default license, but D-Link Wireless provides more flexibility. Local support in Pakistan is necessary for those with limited budgets, creating a reach in the market.

Segmentation and remote management have optimized secure hybrid networks and support flexible customization
I find that the most valuable aspect of Ubiquiti WLAN is its ease of segmentation and management, allowing me to tag interfaces without needing to spin up an interface.My feedback on the Unifi management system is that it has made managing my devices and ecosystem easy, allowing me to manage remotely and physically while maintaining a new layer of security for device policies.I would say I am fine with the security features from Ubiquiti WLAN; I have not had any issues managing devices or applying different layers of security.Mesh networking is one of the best for me; especially with my isolated Wi-Fi network, it is managed easily using Ubiquiti.I mostly work with on-prem deployment, but I have a transparent outlay into my network on the cloud for remote insight without using cloud storage on my devices.My deployment for cloud is essentially a virtual private cloud for storage, and I am considering an integration to store videos on Ubiquiti devices, moving them from on-prem to the cloud.I am totally satisfied with the functionality of Ubiquiti WLAN for my clients; it does exactly what I need.For pricing, I rate Ubiquiti WLAN as cheap when compared to others.Ubiquiti WLAN is the only one that provides unlimited capabilities for customization, which I greatly appreciate compared to Cisco options.I have not requested technical support from Ubiquiti before because I usually solve issues on my own if they arise.I rate this product a nine out of ten overall.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool supports new technologies."
"This is an affordable product that offers good performance, which is why it is popular with our customers, and it offers good speed and bandwidth."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The connectivity is good."
"D-Link comes with a complete solution including wireless, switching, and static wiring."
"Overall, I rate D-Link Wireless nine out of ten as a solution."
"The setup process is very easy."

"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
 

Cons

"The solution doesn't have hotspots. Users can't set it up so that visitors can log in via Facebook or social media as they can at, for example, airports. D-Link should include hotspots that offer integration with social media. That way, visitors don't need to be asking people for passwords. They can just use Facebook."
"In future releases, it can keep improving on countering the new patterns of security attacks."
"The cloud managed solution needs improvement, and they should focus on the SD-WAN segment with regard to integration."
"The solution has been mostly stable; it sometimes fluctuates, however, largely, it is good."
"D-Link has some catching up to do in terms of advancing and improving its technology."
"We've had issues with the 150MG and 300MB dongles. The 300MB works okay but the 150MB is not working well for us."
"Its interface and support system need much improvement. Sometimes, when we use the interface to reset the password and configure SSIDs, or some other changes, the "Save" option does not show and we have to go to some internal setting and then we can "save" the setting. The “Save” option should be in front of or below of the settings."
"The performance offered by D-Link Wireless can be a bit problematic at times, owing to which it is an area that can be considered for improvement."
"The solution should improve stability."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"When they release new products, you should know if there is backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, it is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
