Are you using Ubiquiti in an Enterprise capacity? How has it been?

I work for a large global company and for a number of years we went with Meru throughout all of our buildings and for all those years have had nothing but problems. Meru telling us that these AP's would work fine in this situation, then coming back a year later and saying it would not work in that situation and the initial suggestion was inaccurate. On all new buildings, we finally transitioned to Meraki and they have been utterly fantastic.

The company recently sold and we're no longer forced to use one thing, if the price is good and it works, we can pretty much use it.

So, currently, we're having issues with WiFi at another location. It's either add more Meru AP's, or we can just replace with Meraki. So, either you spend the $600 (per AP) on adding Meru. The $800-1000 (per AP) on Meraki.

However, I was also looking at Ubiquiti, their top AP is $350. That would be huge savings if we replaced with those. However, it's not something we've tested and the general feelings from some at the company is that Ubiquiti is for SOHO. Yet, I visited a major University some time ago and their IT dept told me they had just switched to Ubiquiti campus wide and they felt it was the best decision they had made.
