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

"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"Their technical support is very good from Huawei Wireless. They respond on time when giving feedback."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"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."
"I have a very good experience with this product, so I'm very satisfied with it."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."
"Ubiquiti is good even for large corporations."
"The management features are valuable."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"The only way to re-adopt AP's is to do a hard reset of the device."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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

"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"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."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."
"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."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"The solution should improve stability."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
 

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."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"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."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"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."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"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.""
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"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."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"It is a stand-alone price."
"The solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
"This product is more cost-effective than some others on the market."
