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

"The solution is easy to set up."

"We've found the solution to be quite stable."

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

"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."

"It is easy to set up."

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

"The product is simple and easy to use."

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

More Huawei Wireless pros

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

"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component."

"Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources."

"The solution is scalable."

"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."

Cons

"The speed could be a bit better."

"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."

"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."

"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. One guy attended this call and he told me, "Definitely, I am forwarding your call to the next level. I'll let you know." After that, it took between 10 to 15 hours before I got a call back. By then, we had already resolved the issue. Therefore, they could improve the local support; there should be at very good Tier 1 and 2 support in India. They should be both proactive and reactive."

"Cloud integration needs to be improved."

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

"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."

"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."

More Huawei Wireless cons

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

"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."

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

"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."

"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."

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

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

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

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."

"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."

"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."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."

"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."

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

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

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

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

"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."

"The tool is affordable."

"There is no licensing cost for this solution."

"It is a stand-alone price."

"It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality."

"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."

"Its cost is reasonable."
