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

"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."
"The handover is seamless whenever the users connect to the access point."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good availability, and it is much cheaper."
"The solution is scalable."
"I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
 

Cons

"The manageability could be improved."
"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"The stability could be improved."
"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."
"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"The scalability could be better."
"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."
"Price is one of the major problems of the solution, and because of this, our company's customers want to migrate to some other product from Huawei."
"I am not going to use this solution anymore in the future, I am going to use Aruba."
"It is not a stable solution."
"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
"The technical support is not good."
"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 I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I pay monthly for the solution."
"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions. It has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"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."
"The product has a good price."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"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."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"This product is more cost-effective than some others on the market."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
"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."
