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.

Wireless management gets easier with cloud access while security improvements are needed

The Cloud Key Controller is a valuable feature because it allows me to access the wireless system from the cloud and locally within the same network, enhancing network management. It enables me to scan the wireless system to identify radio frequencies that can impact the network, allowing for remediation. The routine updates are a valuable feature, as they are regularly provided and enhance security and functionality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Installation is easy."

"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."

"It has all of the features that we need."

"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."

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

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

"You can add a lot of features, such as cloud, integration with IoT, etc. They have a lot of options available but the top feature is the performance."

"What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas."

More Huawei Wireless pros

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

"There was a time when we were using Cisco switches and attempting to integrate Ubiquiti UniFi switches into our network infrastructure. Eventually, after some effort, we managed to understand the process. Initially, it was challenging to configure the unified console to manage virtual networks alongside internal networks effectively. We had to comprehend how both systems would integrate carefully. It became apparent that maximizing the usage of Cisco switches required a thorough understanding of how UniFi operates at the backend."

"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."

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

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

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

"I use Ubiquiti WLAN because it's cheap and performs well. The range is its best feature for improving network performance."

Cons

"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."

"Price is one of the major problems of the solution, and because of this, our company's customers want to migrate to some other product from Huawei."

"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."

"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."

"Huawei Wireless is not scalable. We have had a problem with the solution because it cannot integrate with other servers as the other competitors can."

"Support could be a bit faster."

"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."

"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."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"The solution is stable but could improve."

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

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

"The coverage could be increased."

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

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

"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features."

"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."

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."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."

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

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

"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions. It has one of the most competitive prices out there."

"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 an expensive solution."

"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"Ubiquiti WLAN is less expensive than Ruckus, but its price could be improved to make it more affordable and accessible."

"It is a stand-alone price."

"Ubiquiti WLAN’s price is higher than other competitors."

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

"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."

"It is a cost-effective solution."

"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."

"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
