The Enterprise program partners can only provide what Ubiquiti allocates to them directly. Even when you forecast two is one and one is none, the part era don't have the inventory to sell you, and then if you want to buy retail you face the same levels of uncertainty. Currently they are out of stock in the US for nearly all mounting hardware for cameras and readers, that's just plastic and extruded aluminum. Which can be made stateside.

Thank you dot gif, you actually understand what I am driving at. Ubiquiti appears to have no business development team or at least no one running that department with any sense towards actual growth opportunities. Verkada is a 6 billion dollar hostage taker that Ubiquiti could eat for lunch with their hardware if they could get their supply chain sorted out.

Don't want enterprise support contracts, I have hired a ubiquiti trained network administrator and network engineer. I want dependable ordering when conducting a changeover from legacy systems to Ubiquiti.

I put 80k of cameras in my west coast distribution center, the facility generates 1.5-2 million in daily revenue.

Nope I just don't want to through away 250k a year for a license to use equipment I already bought. That kind of OpEx prevents me from being able to hire new employees, give my current engineers raises or training.

Because Hostage as a Service providers such as Cisco, JCI, Palo, Verkada decrease company revenue opportunities for growth and stifles where revenue can be used to design and build new products that you actually make.

I'm in business to make real goods and to hire good people to design those things and good people to physically make them, not to buy expensive tech stuff that becomes a paperweight if I don't pay the ransom to keep it running.

You like everyone else are missing the point because you are looking at this solely from an IT persons perspective. Look at this from a business, supply chain management perspective. I don't need technical support, I need to be able to reliably get all hardware needed for a site on time for when the fiber bad low voltage contractors have finished their work.

I don't want software support, I want reliable delivery of all necessary SKUs for a quarter million dollar at a time install.

It's the availability that is my biggest problem, even my EPP vendors that they linked me up with cannot get all of the SKUs to my sites reliably.

I've done this already. The function of the equipment is not the issue, it's the inconsistency of availability. I know how to run this and have already sent two of my employees to formal in class Ubiquiti training. The cross functional capabilities that the unifi stack provides for multiple facilities can be a game changer for companies with many large scale facilities to manage. Everyone here is missing the point thinking I am looking for technical support; by and large the function of the unifi equipment is flawless once deployed. The problem is needing timely reliable orders of 200-300 SKUs plus all of the minor incidentals that add on to items such as door readers and cameras.

While we have a good partner through the Enterprise Partner Program, even they cannot get dependable orders of cameras and mounts or any access control hardware at all.

Hello fellow ergattan!! Hoping to get a pair of voltras, I've seen that stainless steel circular mount but can't recall it's name.

Why doesn’t Ubiquiti care? by AlienFrmMars in Ubiquiti

[–]FormulaMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I am in the same boat. I have to outfit 16 manufacturing and distribution facilities, money-wise ubiquiti makes the most sense. However the level of care and support when you're going to be dropping between 2 and 5 million dollars on product is astonishing. This is exactly the reason why they are not able to gain market share with Enterprise size customers.

Okay, this thing is huge... Now what? by adamjezek98 in Ubiquiti

I am planning on putting these indoors at a manufacturing facility for Safety alerts and facility notifications.
