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

"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."
"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology, and there are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility, options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself, and its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."
"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 reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"The relationship between the cost versus performance is probably the reason this is the best solution from a pricing perspective."
"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 initial setup is easy."
"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."
"This solution gives me a lot of power to manage the WLAN for my company."
"I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
 

Cons

"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."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"The scalability could be better."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"The stability could be improved."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"As such, there are no problems. It has been good. There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product. We had to make some improvements in the network design. The product as such is fine, and there are no big issues. We are using the latest version having most of the features available in the industry, so the specs are very high. If something new comes up new in the industry, it needs to be incorporated into the product."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it."
"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."
"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."
"The new user interface could be improved - some of the features in the old UI are missing in the new UI."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."
"Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"Support from Ubiquiti is hard to obtain. However, there is a good forum where a lot of information can be found."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"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 very good. This wireless system totally costs about 30,000 euros, and some of the other solutions cost about 45,000 euros. It is a difference of 15,000 euros, which is quite a lot of money."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is less expensive than Ruckus, but its price could be improved to make it more affordable and accessible."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing."
