Reliable wireless connectivity supports seamless hospital staff mobility
We use HPE Wireless WAN for hospital purposes. In our hospital, all the staff have laptops and move around, hence the need for wireless connectivity. We also provide guest access to patient rooms, including ICU rooms, where patients stay HPE Wireless WAN provides reliable connectivity. We use it…

Software controller is very nice and provides excellent performance
Ubiquiti products are really good. I am a B2B wholesaler, and my type of business requires profit to sell to my installers or for my installers to sell to the end customers. Right now, Ubiquiti doesn't offer that. They are selling the product on their website. We face difficulties with Ubiquiti's supply chain because their products are usually out of stock. I would recommend Ubiquiti Wireless as a brand. However, we are no longer recommending it in my business. I am a wholesaler who recommends installing wireless or network solutions for other companies. I no longer recommend Ubiquiti Wireless because it is not profitable. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The performance is good."
"The tool is easy to manage."
"HPE Wireless is easy to use. Integration is not an issue. It is easy to integrate HPE Wireless with any operating system and other brands of switches."
"The main benefit of this product is the lifetime warranty, up to 99 years. For example, if your switch card fails after 10 years, and the hardware fails, it will be replaced with the very same switch or the equivalent model available at the time."
"It is a new product backed by HPE's expertise in networking and telecommunications. We can also work with 3Com products."
"HP Wireless offers competitive pricing compared to Cisco and Fortinet."
"The WiFi and high scalability are the most valuable features."
"It is a good and stable solution."
"The stability and performance are great."
"I like the simplicity, the ease of use."
"It's an excellent option for small businesses."
"The setup is easy and user friendly."
"They provide us with immediate insights into our financial performance and customer interactions, which helps us make informed decisions quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setup."
"I like the price, quality, and consistency of manufacturing."
"Ubiquiti outdoor access points in particular, are really stable, and if there are no obstructions, Ubiquiti works well."
 

Cons

"The installation is easy. However, my implementation is complicated and you would need special training to complete it."
"Scalability is an aspect of this product that should be improved."
"HPE should improve performance and stability."
"Integration might be improved, particularly with a single sign-on for Active Directory."
"HPE Wireless WAN could provide better access points and better pricing."
"The price of HPE Wireless WAN should be reduced."
"The scalability and the support could be better."
"The sales sync should connect with and sync up with the customers."
"Everything needs to be professionally done."
"The external devices, the outdoor devices, are not so rugged. For example, for the weather that we have here in Florida, it doesn't hold up well even though it is supposed to be designed for outdoor use."
"I would like to see improvements around the firewalls and some of the internal workings, such as DNS testing. Additionally, the documentation needs improvement. It is good, but it lacks depth and is more targeted at SOHO users."
"Maybe our Ruckus access points are easier to deploy. When I want to deploy a Ubiquiti access point with the centralized appliance, we can't do all the configuration in our lab and send it to the shop. Ruckus seems easier to deploy for the moment."
"I feel the price could be optimized, as their equipment is priced on the higher side. Additionally, the user interface could be made more intuitive."
"I would like local support from the parent company."
"The range and maybe the quality of the signal can be improved. I had a feeling that the range wasn't long enough. Unfortunately, beyond a certain range, the signal was too weak. If I'm not mistaken, it must have been something like 100 or more than 100 meters, but I'm not sure. So, one improvement I wish for this equipment is to have a longer range, but that could mainly be due to the model we're using."
"In Ukraine at least, it's a problem when it comes to buying the hardware. For example, I made a request for 20 switches a few months ago. The solution needs to have worldwide availability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I find the price to be reasonable."
"If you are concerned with your budget, then you can go for the cheaper model."
"Customers pay for HPE Wireless WAN based on the contract. It's usually paid yearly. There's an additional cost, particularly for the hardware."
"The price of HPE Wireless WAN is high."
"The license cost of the product falls under the category of a moderately priced tool."
"There is a license for this solution and the license is normally paid annually but this depends on the contract."
"Price wise, it is on the medium end of the scale. It could be lower."
"We don't pay a licensing fee, we purchased the product."
"The price of this solution is ok."
"The product is expensive."
"The tool doesn't have any licensing costs."
"We don't buy directly. We have our finance department that buys things. My speculation on the price is that because we buy from private companies and because the product is imported, people tend to give us at higher prices. This is due to the fact that it is government procurement. So, sometimes, they are not paid directly, and they have to go through the whole administrative process before they are paid. So, they tend to compensate by increasing the price, but I won't be able to say what is the exact price."
"Its pricing ranges from 1,000 euros to 30,000 euros. The average price might be 10,000 euros."
"The price is reasonable and there's only a one-time payment. We have had this for a long time and I haven't seen any additional fee after paying for the installation."
"There aren't any license costs attached to the product."
"From a pricing point of view, Ubiquiti is excellent."
