What do you like best about Ubiquiti Network Management System?

UNMS, now UISP, is an excellent tool for managing multiple Ubiquiti products in a single place. Anything you add in, whether Air Fiber or Edgeswitch, will backup its configuration during any changes made while connected with the management system and show you statistics on anything you could want to see. It is removing the need for tools that do SNMP monitoring for Ubiquiti devices Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ubiquiti Network Management System?

If it supported software outside of Ubiquiti devices, it would be more versatile. You are limited to have more than one management system if you use other vendors, which can be a pain to manage. An all-in-one solution would be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ubiquiti Network Management System:

Try it out, it is easy to set up, and it could save you hours of work when managing hundreds of devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ubiquiti Network Management System solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving the issue of getting and maintaining backups of 1000 devices within our network. What's great about this tool is it will do it all for you. All you need to do is add devices which is a click of a button. It saves us so much time each year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ubiquiti Network Management System?

I love that you can control your network from a central controller. We have multiple offices across the world and having visibility over every site is super convenient. There are flexible options for deploying the UniFi controller. We currently have it installed on an Ubuntu EC2 instance in AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ubiquiti Network Management System?

The UniFi equipment can't meet the needs of a large organization. There are many hardware and software limitations that we're starting to reach. Not everything that can be configured can be done via the controller and there's no easy way to back up the configuration done on the USGs directly. We have S2S VPNs that we will need to configure from scratch if we lose the current configuration for some reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ubiquiti Network Management System:

Consider Ubiquiti If you have a small business and you don't expect a lot of growth in the next few years. It is not very suitable for medium to large organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ubiquiti Network Management System solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're running a hybrid cloud network infrastructure in multiple countries and AWS regions. The UniFi controller makes it easy to visualize the whole network and push configurations to devices. We also have S2S VPN connection between every office and our AWS infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It isn't ready for Enterprise roll out.

Large deployments can be cumbersome.

Software doesn't have that level of control or customizability that enterprise suites do.

upgrading on a Windows OS can be a PITA if the software is going to be supported by multiple users.

Windows OS install is designed for single user install [or admin user not group install]

I had to develop a ham fisted Batch File to install as Multi users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ubiquiti Network Management System solving and how is that benefiting you?

I had previously configured a Meraki home network, and the license had expired. I was unable to replace it with a new license at the time, and this provided an easy way to get back up and running without requiring a license renewal with a reasonable hardware price.

What do you like best about Ubiquiti Network Management System?

I can maintain all of our wireless equipment from one portal. In addition, we do not have to periodically buy expensive licensing to make our equipment work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you look into any of their equipment, I suggest looking into everything they offer for your company networks. They produce quality equipment and their support is top notch! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can see the clients connected to all of our locations wireless systems from one portal and diagnose any problems without leaving my desk.

What do you like best about Ubiquiti Network Management System?

UNMS provides a way to centrally monitor and manage Ubiquiti's EdgeOS network devices. It provides configuration backups, firmware updating, monitoring, and alerting. Ubiquiti provides a cloud hosted version for free, or you can utilize a self-hosted version and run it locally or on your preferred cloud provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ubiquiti Network Management System?

It's not as fully featured as UniFi. Most configuration changes to devices can't be changed from UNMS and still require logging into the device directly. I really wish they (Ubiquiti) would merge their UniFi & EdgeOS product lines and allow them to be managed from a single system, either the UniFi Controller or UNMS. Having one system to manage routers/switches and another to manage access points is not ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ubiquiti Network Management System:

If you're using more than 1 of Ubiquiti's EdgeOS devices, UNMS is a no brainer. It just makes managing them easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ubiquiti Network Management System solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest benefit is centralized and automated configuration backup of EdgeOS devices. Gone are the days of logging into each device and downloading a configuration backup.

UNMS also significantly reduced the labor required to find and install firmware updates for all EdgeOS devices across all of my clients, saving me time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
