Shahnawaz Nusrat - PeerSpot reviewer
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…

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

Cons

"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"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."
"The scalability could be better."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"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."
"Technical support could be better."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
"The coverage could be increased."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."
"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."
"The solution should improve stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is very good. This wireless system totally costs about 30,000 euros, and some of the other solutions cost about 45,000 euros. It is a difference of 15,000 euros, which is quite a lot of money."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"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."
"The tool's price is good and falls somewhere in the middle."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"This product is more cost-effective than some others on the market."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"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."
