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

"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."
"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."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"The main advantage of Ubiquiti WLAN is the network management. The whole concept has one complete range of products from end to end, with very basic and effective management systems. That's a key benefit in my mind. But the main thing is that it's so competitive—far more competitive than the other leading American brands."
"All of the interfacing is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."
"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."
 

Cons

"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 ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"Technical support could be better."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"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 solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"The solution should improve stability."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to 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 would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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.""
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions. It has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"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."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"The tool is affordable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap, I rate Ubiquiti WLAN's pricing a five to six out of ten."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing."
"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."
