Ubiquiti APs
Hi all, long time lurker here and just wanted to say thank you to everyone in here as this sub has been really insightful for me in my career.
I was wondering whether anyone has had any experience working with Ubiquiti APs before?
I have used them in small environments a few years back but my current school has 90 APs and from what I’ve read, it’s not as good in an enterprise environment. However, I’d love to know if anyone thinks different.
We currently have Aruba IAP-315s which are now EOL and I need to plan a refresh. School is in a bit of a deficit right now so I am thinking of ways to save money. I had to question our suppliers when they sent over the Ubiquiti pricing!
What are the main drawbacks of using Ubiquiti? And for any UK sysadmins, would it be fully compliant with DfE standards?
Also, what about their switches? Never worked them before so not sure about them and their robustness and longevity. The Aruba switches and APs were installed 8 years ago and have been running strong (kinda sad to get rid of them) but it’s now time for a replacement. I only started a few months ago and this was one of my first concerns.
Any experiences, alternatives and advice are appreciated!
