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

"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."
"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."
"Overall, I am satisfied with the solution."
"Installation is easy."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti WLAN is its stability."
"I use Ubiquiti WLAN because it's cheap and performs well. The range is its best feature for improving network performance."
"All of the interfacing is very good."
"I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
 

Cons

"They should include more security features in the solution."
"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."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
"Technical support is not great. Whenever I open a case, I don't get any immediate support."
"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."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself."
"The technical support is not good."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"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

"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"The product has a good price."
"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.""
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"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."
"It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is less expensive than Ruckus, but its price could be improved to make it more affordable and accessible."
"The tool's price is good and falls somewhere in the middle."
"The tool is affordable."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
