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 most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"Their technical support is very good from Huawei Wireless. They respond on time when giving feedback."
"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."
"Overall, I am satisfied with the solution."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."
"Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology."
"At the moment, I only have experience with the on-premise deployment of Huawei Wireless, but the cloud solution looks good on paper. It looks perfect. I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods. My company has four devices running uptime for more than four years without stopping. I also like that the support for Huawei Wireless is swift, and support does precisely what you require, at least from the point of view of the technical engineer who communicated with Huawei support, as I'm more of a technical sales guy. Good technical support is vital to my company, partners, and customers. My company had this ongoing project with an ISP provider in Bulgaria that bought some routers. Still, the existing equipment was a completely different brand, so this provider wanted to migrate to Huawei Wireless and wanted help while migrating the existing infrastructure to Huawei, so the technical engineer assigned to raise the ticket with Huawei for checking and setting parameters correctly provided feedback about Huawei technical support being good quality-wise and TAT-wise. The technical engineer was also Cisco-certified and Juniper-certified and was not experienced with Huawei equipment. Still, he did mention that the Huawei Wireless router interface was straightforward, and even a person who's new to it would find it easy to configure. Huawei Wireless is user-friendly, which is another pro of the solution. It's easy to manage, and even the program language setting can be done with fewer commands than Juniper and Cisco equipment. Some of the features in Juniper need an external program, and the same features can be found in Huawei Wireless built-in, which I find remarkable."
"The solution has a pretty simple approach to WLAN, you can manage it for free with a one-off purchase, and it offers a very good hotspot manager with very good interfacing, very nice documentation, and an initial setup that is quite easy."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable, and we haven't had any issues with it."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Once they are in, and because you can have multiple access points, the handoff between different access points, one to another, is really nice, you are not losing signals, dropping connections, and other such things, it is all very good."
"The solution is not complex to deploy."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."
"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."
"We've received positive feedback from our clients after deploying Ubiquiti WLAN, which has improved our confidence and reputation as a service provider."
 

Cons

"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."
"Technical support is not ideal. They sometimes cannot connect to the wireless access point or their connection drops."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."
"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 security of the solution could be better in the future."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
"The coverage could be increased."
"When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."
"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones."
"This is not a simple solution like you might find with other vendors."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very cost-effective."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"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 product has a good price."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"Its price is reasonable."
"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.""
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
"It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The tool's price is good and falls somewhere in the middle."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is less expensive than Ruckus, but its price could be improved to make it more affordable and accessible."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."
