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

"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."

"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."

"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."

"At the moment, I only have experience with the on-premise deployment of Huawei Wireless, but the cloud solution looks good on paper. It looks perfect. I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods. My company has four devices running uptime for more than four years without stopping. I also like that the support for Huawei Wireless is swift, and support does precisely what you require, at least from the point of view of the technical engineer who communicated with Huawei support, as I'm more of a technical sales guy. Good technical support is vital to my company, partners, and customers. My company had this ongoing project with an ISP provider in Bulgaria that bought some routers. Still, the existing equipment was a completely different brand, so this provider wanted to migrate to Huawei Wireless and wanted help while migrating the existing infrastructure to Huawei, so the technical engineer assigned to raise the ticket with Huawei for checking and setting parameters correctly provided feedback about Huawei technical support being good quality-wise and TAT-wise. The technical engineer was also Cisco-certified and Juniper-certified and was not experienced with Huawei equipment. Still, he did mention that the Huawei Wireless router interface was straightforward, and even a person who's new to it would find it easy to configure. Huawei Wireless is user-friendly, which is another pro of the solution. It's easy to manage, and even the program language setting can be done with fewer commands than Juniper and Cisco equipment. Some of the features in Juniper need an external program, and the same features can be found in Huawei Wireless built-in, which I find remarkable."

"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."

"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."

"It has all of the features that we need."

"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."

"The most beneficial thing about Ubiquiti is that it is simple to deploy."

"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."

"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."

"The Cloud Key Controller is a valuable feature because it allows me to access the wireless system from the cloud and locally within the same network, enhancing network management."

"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."

"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."

"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."

More Ubiquiti WLAN pros

Cons

"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."

"Cloud integration needs to be improved."

"The scalability could be better."

"The speed could be a bit better."

"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."

"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."

"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."

"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."

"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."

"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."

"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."

"Support from Ubiquiti is hard to obtain. However, there is a good forum where a lot of information can be found."

"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."

"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."

"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."

More Ubiquiti WLAN cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very cost-effective."

"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."

"Its price is reasonable."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."

"Extras come with a surcharge."

"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.""
