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

"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."
"Their technical support is very good from Huawei Wireless. They respond on time when giving feedback."
"I think it's a good technology. I like that it transparently connects with LDAP. The technology has a lot of capacity for WiFi six. It provides notifications, and there are many ways to connect with fiber. There is an electrical tool, and you can put an SFP transceiver. There are also many ways to implement antennas."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"I have a very good experience with this product, so I'm very satisfied with it."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."
"As far as the support is concerned, or the overall experience with the solution, Ubiquiti is simple and easy and inexpensive."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."
"Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
"The solution is very easy to install."
"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
 

Cons

"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected."
"We are experiencing some challenges in terms of technical support; it's not readily available."
"As such, there are no problems. It has been good. There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product. We had to make some improvements in the network design. The product as such is fine, and there are no big issues. We are using the latest version having most of the features available in the industry, so the specs are very high. If something new comes up new in the industry, it needs to be incorporated into the product."
"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
"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."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful."
"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"This is not a simple solution like you might find with other vendors."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"The technical support could improve, they are slow."
"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
"It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality."
