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 product is simple and easy to use."
"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."
"It provides high-speed network connections."
"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."
"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."
"I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"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 most beneficial thing about Ubiquiti is that it is simple to deploy."
"The main difference between Ubiquiti and other solutions is the wireless coverage and the equipment, and the device in itself is solid with all the functionality that I need."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"There was a time when we were using Cisco switches and attempting to integrate Ubiquiti UniFi switches into our network infrastructure. Eventually, after some effort, we managed to understand the process. Initially, it was challenging to configure the unified console to manage virtual networks alongside internal networks effectively. We had to comprehend how both systems would integrate carefully. It became apparent that maximizing the usage of Cisco switches required a thorough understanding of how UniFi operates at the backend."
"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."
 

Cons

"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"Technical support could be better."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"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."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"The scalability could be better."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"Technical support is not ideal. They sometimes cannot connect to the wireless access point or their connection drops."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process."
"The coverage could be increased."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex."
"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."
"When they release new products, you should know if there is backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, it is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"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.""
"Its price is reasonable."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Right now, my company made a one-time purchase of Huawei Wireless. It depends, but in most of the projects where customers buy hardware with some software, it's a one-time purchase. Customers pay a yearly fee for other projects for support and additional software features, such as email protection firmware updates for cybersecurity. You'll also receive information about the latest attacks and get more protection if you pay an additional fee apart from the standard license fee. You'll also get an additional warranty for Huawei Wireless, a yearly contract."
"It is very cost-effective."
"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."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
"It is a stand-alone price."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is less expensive than Ruckus, but its price could be improved to make it more affordable and accessible."
