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.

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

"You can add a lot of features, such as cloud, integration with IoT, etc. They have a lot of options available but the top feature is the performance."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"From an implementation perspective, it's easy. I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup."
"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"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."
"Installation is easy."
"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."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."
"I use Ubiquiti WLAN because it's cheap and performs well. The range is its best feature for improving network performance."
"The solution is very easy to install."
"The solution is not complex to deploy."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"I am totally satisfied with the functionality of Ubiquiti WLAN for my clients; it does exactly what I need."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"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."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"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 could be easier to use."
"There was one time I had a problem with their centralized licensing. I called the Indian call center, but the response was not that good. One guy attended this call and he told me, "Definitely, I am forwarding your call to the next level. I'll let you know." After that, it took between 10 to 15 hours before I got a call back. By then, we had already resolved the issue. Therefore, they could improve the local support; there should be at very good Tier 1 and 2 support in India. They should be both proactive and reactive."
"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."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."
"The coverage could be increased."
"It is not a stable solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
