Fahad Doguwa - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Gabriele-Pizzigati - PeerSpot reviewer
Managing installations through one interface enhances efficiency but AI features improvement
Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product. It provides one interface to manage all installations, allowing me to monitor all customers through the same web interface. The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."
"It can scale."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features."
"That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
More Huawei Wireless pros
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
"Firstly, I initially purchased the device to build a VPN, and one very valuable feature for me was the ability to create a layer two VPN, which was available on the legacy ER router. It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with."
"The solution is scalable."
"The initial setup process was relatively straightforward, with only minor challenges typically caused by user errors, such as password mismatches."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
More Ubiquiti WLAN pros
 

Cons

"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior."
"What needs improvement in Huawei Wireless is after-sales support. I've faced many after-sales support issues, so that's the area I want Huawei to improve. Having an SLA with customers is what I'd suggest to Huawei Wireless."
"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
More Huawei Wireless cons
"I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"I think the main area for improvement with Ubiquiti WLAN is that they need to be far more specific in explaining the advantages of one product versus another. They have many access points - over 30. We often get questions about the right product for specific circumstances, and it's difficult to answer them clearly."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"Support from Ubiquiti is hard to obtain. However, there is a good forum where a lot of information can be found."
More Ubiquiti WLAN 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."
"We don't have any control on the pricing. This comes from Huawei in India. Pricing-wise, Huawei is very aggressive and competitive if you compare them to competitors, like Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus. The Indian Huawei team tells us, "Just pick up the order and design the infrastructure. If there are any pricing challenge, we'll work on that and we will try to match things 100 percent.""
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions. It has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"It is very cost-effective."
"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."
"The product has a good price."
