Effective and extensive campus Wi-Fi with room for better frequency management
We have deployed Huawei CCTV solutions at multiple universities in Pakistan. This includes Huawei Wireless for Smart Campus projects, where we provide blanket Wi-Fi coverage and Safe Campus projects, where we deploy security cameras and multiple devices to monitor the campus Huawei Wireless has…

Unified management of devices ensures a consistent network configuration
I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable. I appreciate that it has a controller instead of just a single access point, similar to how Ruckus operates. I utilize Ubiquiti WLAN unified management system, and it helps streamline network management by making consistent configuration of all my access points and switches. I also have cameras integrated, so I have everything managed through the system. I have seen benefits from utilizing Ubiquiti WLAN as it's a stable solution. I also see scalability as a positive factor for Ubiquiti WLAN.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Their technical support is very good from Huawei Wireless. They respond on time when giving feedback."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"Installation is easy."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution has a pretty simple approach to WLAN, you can manage it for free with a one-off purchase, and it offers a very good hotspot manager with very good interfacing, very nice documentation, and an initial setup that is quite easy."
"All of the interfacing is very good."
"We've received positive feedback from our clients after deploying Ubiquiti WLAN, which has improved our confidence and reputation as a service provider."
"Ubiquiti is good even for large corporations."
 

Cons

"I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"The scalability could be better."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use. As a partner, you can use the solution for free, for thirty days, for example. On paper, everything looks fine, but you have to get permission and explain why you want to download the software, even if it's just for demo purposes. I don't get why I have to do this as a partner and still give an explanation that this would be for a demo setup. Downloading the solution isn't a click-and-install process that should go smoothly and efficiently. You have to get a lot of approvals and explain a lot, and in the end, you find out that you received the approval for one piece of software. It looks like you need additional software to use the software. My company asked for approval and received the approval three days later, but you need to install another software to use some of the features. In the past, most features were separate. Because Huawei wants a single pane of glass where all features should work with the Huawei equipment, Huawei decided to combine everything into the iMaster NCE Campus, which incorporates every other cloud solution. However, you still have to ask for approval for every piece of software, and without clear information on the features, the type of software, and the software files required, it's not so good from my point of view."
"The new user interface could be improved - some of the features in the old UI are missing in the new UI."
"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"The solution should improve stability."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"The room for improvement is in the controller levels."
"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."
"I don't know if it can be used in large companies, where you have large environments to manage, or with data centers or services that you offer on a large scale (over 200 AP/switch devices)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is reasonable."
"It is not monthly. It is a kind of perpetual licensing. We pay once depending on the kind of services we need to deliver. There are no licensing fees."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"Its price is very good. This wireless system totally costs about 30,000 euros, and some of the other solutions cost about 45,000 euros. It is a difference of 15,000 euros, which is quite a lot of money."
"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
"The tool's price is good and falls somewhere in the middle."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."
"The solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
