if all you run is UBNT stuff then their tool is ok-ish. If you run a network with many different vendors, then, IMHO, its better to abstract the monitoring tools to a third party. That way you can use one tool to see all of your network and not have to have a dozen different tools.
I wish I could move everything to observium, its just not there yet. So we still use Nagios and Cacti, with more and more going into our Observium system.
AirControl is dead. They have their new AirCRM thingy, which I think is a mess..
People gripe about poor SNMP / telemetry support from UBNT. With new versions of code we get pretty decent data that is relevant to fixing issues and running the network. Yes, some devices require a plug-in to poll and parse data that isn't avail via SNMP. Its a shim layer and I don't care. I get the data in a normalized presentation. My techs don't care if its snmp or a curl poll, or what. They just need the data.

How usable is it?
For an WISP? I think it's good to have client's CCQ, for example. Client's signal its good too.
And that's all, folks. :)
But IMHO it's a waste of time, since there is Aircontrol from Ubnt and does all you need, including manage this devices.
