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

"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."
"I have a very good experience with this product, so I'm very satisfied with it."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
"From an implementation perspective, it's easy. I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup."
"Overall, I am satisfied with the solution."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."
"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"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 web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage."
"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 is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"As far as the support is concerned, or the overall experience with the solution, Ubiquiti is simple and easy and inexpensive."
 

Cons

"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"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."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"The product must provide better warranties."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"I am not going to use this solution anymore in the future, I am going to use Aruba."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"I think the main area for improvement with Ubiquiti WLAN is that they need to be far more specific in explaining the advantages of one product versus another. They have many access points - over 30. We often get questions about the right product for specific circumstances, and it's difficult to answer them clearly."
"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 very cost-effective."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."
"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"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.""
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"Ubiquiti WLAN’s price is higher than other competitors."
"The solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
