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

"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."
"I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods."
"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"I have a very good experience with this product, so I'm very satisfied with it."
"At the moment, I only have experience with the on-premise deployment of Huawei Wireless, but the cloud solution looks good on paper. It looks perfect. I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods. My company has four devices running uptime for more than four years without stopping. I also like that the support for Huawei Wireless is swift, and support does precisely what you require, at least from the point of view of the technical engineer who communicated with Huawei support, as I'm more of a technical sales guy. Good technical support is vital to my company, partners, and customers. My company had this ongoing project with an ISP provider in Bulgaria that bought some routers. Still, the existing equipment was a completely different brand, so this provider wanted to migrate to Huawei Wireless and wanted help while migrating the existing infrastructure to Huawei, so the technical engineer assigned to raise the ticket with Huawei for checking and setting parameters correctly provided feedback about Huawei technical support being good quality-wise and TAT-wise. The technical engineer was also Cisco-certified and Juniper-certified and was not experienced with Huawei equipment. Still, he did mention that the Huawei Wireless router interface was straightforward, and even a person who's new to it would find it easy to configure. Huawei Wireless is user-friendly, which is another pro of the solution. It's easy to manage, and even the program language setting can be done with fewer commands than Juniper and Cisco equipment. Some of the features in Juniper need an external program, and the same features can be found in Huawei Wireless built-in, which I find remarkable."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has allowed us to deploy Wi-Fi as a vast service to allow the customer to get a feel for our internet and then come and purchase the service."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"The relationship between the cost versus performance is probably the reason this is the best solution from a pricing perspective."
"Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."
 

Cons

"Technical support could be better."
"The stability could be improved."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product."
"The speed could be a bit better."
"We are experiencing some challenges in terms of technical support; it's not readily available."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"The coverage could be increased."
"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."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"It is very cost-effective."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
