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

"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems. Its price is very nice. The other WiFi systems cost about 15% more."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"The solution is very stable; there are no bugs or glitches, it works very well, it does not crash, and the performance is very good, and so far we have not received any complaints or any faulty hardware or anything."
"From an implementation perspective, it's easy. I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable, and we haven't had any issues with it."
"I use Ubiquiti WLAN because it's cheap and performs well. The range is its best feature for improving network performance."
"The only way to re-adopt AP's is to do a hard reset of the device."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"As a turnkey solution."
"The scalability of Ubiquiti WLAN is very good, and my customers are small, medium, and enterprise companies."
"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."
 

Cons

"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product."
"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."
"I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"The manageability could be improved."
"Yes, Ubiquiti uses a concept called adoption. AP's disappear from management software frequently and the only way to re-adopt AP's is to do a hard reset of the device."
"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
"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."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"My expert view on Ubiquiti improvement is that capacity has been a concern, especially since I needed to change some of my devices to a 10 gig network due to limitations."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"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."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"The solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The tool is affordable."
