Affordable platform with efficient analytics features

Huawei adapters have facilitated seamless integration with mobile devices, extending the LAN's reach. Additionally, including CampusInsight, a component offering analytics and visibility into wireless connectivity, has proven invaluable. This feature enables us to monitor network health and troubleshoot user-related issues efficiently. The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations. I advise others to go for Cisco if cost is not a factor. Otherwise, they can explore other options based on the availability of that OEM within the country. We have Huawei present in our country and provide all the necessary support, so we went forward with them. I rate it a nine out of ten.

Reliable wireless coverage has supported busy operations and has improved daily connectivity

We have areas that are interference-prone. I am not using BeamFlex technology with Ruckus Wireless. We are satisfied, but there are some problems in the current Ruckus Wireless solution that we could not solve two years ago, and we are still waiting for a solution. These are lateral management problems, and we solved them with another type of tools. However, I do not know if the new versions of the product have resolved that issue. We had approximately 150 access points at that time, so we had many points to change. We had another solution five years ago, and we changed all the access points to Ruckus Wireless solution as well as the Ruckus Wireless platform to manage all the access points.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."

"I have a very good experience with this product, so I'm very satisfied with it."

"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."

"The product is simple and easy to use."

"I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods."

"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."

"The product is easy to use, the signal is very stable with very good performance, and for network devices it is great."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"The most valuable feature is simplicity."

"The product is extremely easy to manage after it is implemented."

"Performance-wise, it's great."

"Its roaming capabilities and the fact that we can have redundant backup controllers are the most valuable. There is a backup controller that is heart beated to the primary. It is also fairly easy to install."

"The most valuable feature is the coverage, which is exceptional."

"I'm not on the technical side, so I personally haven't configured Ruckus Wireless. We've got some staff that manages that for us. But if I had to say a most valuable feature from my perspective, it would maybe be Ruckus Analytics."

"Ruckus Wireless is reliable. The most valuable features are BeamFlex technology, Wi-Fi 6, and channel management."

"Our IT staff can quickly issue guest passes for vendors and the instructions are very straightforward, requiring very little effort to get connected."

More Ruckus Wireless pros

Cons

"Technical support is not ideal. They sometimes cannot connect to the wireless access point or their connection drops."

"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."

"Price is one of the major problems of the solution, and because of this, our company's customers want to migrate to some other product from Huawei."

"The security of the solution could be better in the future."

"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."

"The solution needs to include a captive portal."

"There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product."

"Huawei Wireless is not scalable. We have had a problem with the solution because it cannot integrate with other servers as the other competitors can."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"It would be ideal if the solution offered more features."

"Could be more user friendly."

"From my point of view, portal features are something missing in Ruckus Wireless. I want to see Ruckus Wireless integrate a Wi-Fi portal into its product. This would allow for easier user authentication for vendors."

"The tool is expensive."

"The captive portal for guest access on the controller is an additional detail that could be enhanced."

"From the user point of view, sometimes we face a little bit of a challenge in terms of the channels selection for Ruckus. When we have installed all of the APs outdoors, those channels are actually empty in different numbers, so sometimes we found this challenging for getting paired between these point to point communications. If there is any way we can get some proprietary channels or some IT this interruption will not be there. That would be really fantastic for more reliable connectivity."

"It could be cheaper."

"I suggest more controlling features on the controller. The menu of the performance must be improved, as well."

More Ruckus Wireless cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."

"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."

"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."

"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."

"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."

"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"I rate the product price as six to seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."

"Ruckus is more expensive than Meraki, but the performance moves in parallel with the cost."

"The reason we picked Ruckus, in addition to our long-standing relationship with Ruckus, is pretty much that the RFS characteristics of it seem to be the best."

"The cost can be prohibitive for many as it is a high-end product in the WiFi market."

"It's definitely a good value. It's more expensive than some of the other offerings out there, but when you compare it to other enterprise-class gear, it's very well priced. And the beauty of it is, because it has better range because of their patented BeamFlex - which is the way they can send and receive and listen to signals - you can actually use fewer access points. That means that it's a cheaper overall project."

"We have a yearly license for our multiple mode 200 or 300 Ruckus Wireless systems. It's a good price."

"The only complaint I have about Ruckus is the price, but considering other enterprise WiFi products are similarly priced, I feel Ruckus is a superior product."

"Licensing is subscription-based."

Hi, You can purchase WiFi access points from any of the above vendors. But it must be a commercial access point as in AP a few connect to the limited devices and a few can connect large devices with a single AP. It will totally depend on your work environment and access point signals covering the area. In the hall, AP can cover a large area but there is a concrete wall between two rooms or a corridor then it can down the signal to 50 DBM. So, when deciding on a WIFI/AP keep all these things in mind.

If you want high performance and stability, you should definitely go with Ruckus Wireless. Ruckus Wireless APs have: - Adaptive antenna technology (called BeamFlex) This technology analyzes different paths to reach the client and electronically turns itself to a directional antenna, choosing the path that gives the best performance to reach each specific client. If the client is mobile or if the environment changes (such as a warehouse) the selection of paths/direction also changes instantly. Transmitting in a directional way allows a good Signal-to-Noise Ratio and also causes less interference for other nearby APs outside the path of the directional transmission. - ChannelFly technology This technology chooses the best channel based on performance rather than background scanning for noise. - Polarization Diversity This technology allows the clients not to lose signal strength when held at different angles (important for mobile devices such as tablets and telephones). - Better receive sensitivity compared to the competitors All these features make Ruckus Wireless a better choice than any other competitor (better performance, better coverage area, more stable and surprise-free communication especially in not so easy conditions such as noise, too many clients, too much traffic).
