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.

Wireless management gets easier with cloud access while security improvements are needed

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. It enables me to scan the wireless system to identify radio frequencies that can impact the network, allowing for remediation. The routine updates are a valuable feature, as they are regularly provided and enhance security and functionality.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."

"The product is simple and easy to use."

"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."

"That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac."

"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."

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

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."

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

More Huawei Wireless pros

"The solution is not complex to deploy."

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

"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."

"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."

"Firstly, I initially purchased the device to build a VPN, and one very valuable feature for me was the ability to create a layer two VPN, which was available on the legacy ER router. It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with."

"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."

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

Cons

"The speed could be a bit 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."

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

"The solution needs to include a captive portal."

"The manageability could be improved."

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

"Support could be a bit faster."

"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. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"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."

"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."

"I think the main area for improvement with Ubiquiti WLAN is that they need to be far more specific in explaining the advantages of one product versus another. They have many access points - over 30. We often get questions about the right product for specific circumstances, and it's difficult to answer them clearly."

"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features."

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

"The product must provide better warranties."

"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."

"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."

More Ubiquiti WLAN cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price is good for the solution and there is a license required."

"Its price is reasonable."

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

"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."

"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."

"It is very cost-effective."

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."

"The tool is affordable."

"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."

"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."

"It is a cost-effective solution."

"The tool's price is good and falls somewhere in the middle."

"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."

"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."
