# K12USA WirelessTrakker vs Ubiquiti UniFi Controller

#### Summary

There are several benefits of using our **WirelessTrakker with the Ubiquiti UniFi Controller** compared to using just the **Ubiquiti UniFi Controller Software**.

#### More Information

1. To get the most out of the Ubiquiti UniFi Access Points you need to have the Ubiquity UniFi Controller Software running on a server all of the time. With WirlessTrakker the UniFi Controller Software is running all the time on our appliance and maintained by K12USA **compared to** you installing it on your own server and you maintaining it.
2. If you want to use Wireless Enterprise Authentication (WPA), WirelessTrakker has a RADIUS server built-in so it can talk directly to Active Directory for Authentication **compared to** Ubiquiti requires you to configure your own RADIUS server to talk to Active Directory and that can be a difficult process. WirelessTrakker can use SecureSchool for authentication if you do not have Active Directory
3. WirelessTrakker provides the VLAN routing for the wireless networks to support multiple SSIDs **compared to** you needing a switch capable of VLAN routing and configure it yourself. Both solutions require switches that support 802.1q VLAN tagging.
4. WirelessTrakker has a built-in DHCP and DNS servers for wireless SSIDs **compared to** Ubiquiti, you would have configured your own DHCP and DNS servers.
5. WirelessTrakker has an integrated firewall allowing you to restrict access to network resources if needed or wanted **compared to** you having to set ACLs (Access Control Lists) on your network switches if they support it.
6. WirelessTrakker provides you with new dedicated hardware, unlimited tech support, and a familiar user interface for existing SecureSchool customers, all pre-configured for your network.
