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

"It can scale."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."

"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."

Cons

"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."
"The speed could be a bit better."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"What needs improvement in Huawei Wireless is after-sales support. I've faced many after-sales support issues, so that's the area I want Huawei to improve. Having an SLA with customers is what I'd suggest to Huawei Wireless."
"The stability could be improved."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"The solution should improve stability."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"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."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"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."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"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."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."
"The solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN’s price is higher than other competitors."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."
