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

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

Pros

"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"It provides high-speed network connections."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"Installation is easy."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."
"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."
"Firstly, I initially purchased the device to build a VPN, and one very valuable feature for me was the ability to create a layer two VPN, which was available on the legacy ER router. It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component."
"The solution is very easy to install."
"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."
 

Cons

"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"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."
"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."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."
"Support from Ubiquiti is hard to obtain. However, there is a good forum where a lot of information can be found."
"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
"Big networks with more than 80 access points are a problem. The network controller stops sometimes, and I think it's because of the high number of access points."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"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
