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 solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"It is easy to set up."
"The solution is very stable; there are no bugs or glitches, it works very well, it does not crash, and the performance is very good, and so far we have not received any complaints or any faulty hardware or anything."
"Their technical support is very good from Huawei Wireless. They respond on time when giving feedback."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
"The entire campus (students, administration, the project team, and purchase team) was very happy with this particular product."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."
"This solution gives me a lot of power to manage the WLAN for my company."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
 

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."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"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."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"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."
"Technical support is not great. Whenever I open a case, I don't get any immediate support."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
"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 lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself."
"Big networks with more than 80 access points are a problem. The network controller stops sometimes, and I think it's because of the high number of access points."
"My expert view on Ubiquiti improvement is that capacity has been a concern, especially since I needed to change some of my devices to a 10 gig network due to limitations."
"This is not a simple solution like you might find with other vendors."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
 

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."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"Its price is reasonable."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"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.""
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap, I rate Ubiquiti WLAN's pricing a five to six out of ten."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is less expensive than Ruckus, but its price could be improved to make it more affordable and accessible."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing."
"This product is more cost-effective than some others on the market."
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."
