Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."

"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."

"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."

"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."

"I think it's a good technology. I like that it transparently connects with LDAP. The technology has a lot of capacity for WiFi six. It provides notifications, and there are many ways to connect with fiber. There is an electrical tool, and you can put an SFP transceiver. There are also many ways to implement antennas."

"Installation is easy."

"The solution offers very good value for money."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"The initial setup was very straightforward."

"Ubiquiti WLAN has good availability, and it is much cheaper."

"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 web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage."

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

"Its most valuable feature is pricing."

"The most beneficial thing about Ubiquiti is that it is simple to deploy."

"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."

Cons

"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."

"Cloud integration needs to be improved."

"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."

"The solution could be 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."

"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."

"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."

"Technical support could be better."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"The solution should improve stability."

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

"The product’s bandwidth could be better."

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

"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."

"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."

"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."

"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
