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

"I have a very good experience with this product, so I'm very satisfied with it."
"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."
"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."
"The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features."
"Installation is easy."
"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."
"This solution gives me a lot of power to manage the WLAN for my company."
"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."
"All of the interfacing is very good."
"The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."
"The pricing is reasonable; there are no licenses required to use the solution, and that's one of the benefits of using the product."
 

Cons

"The manageability could be improved."
"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."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"The scalability could be better."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"The scalability could be better."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"As such, there are no problems. It has been good. There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product. We had to make some improvements in the network design. The product as such is fine, and there are no big issues. We are using the latest version having most of the features available in the industry, so the specs are very high. If something new comes up new in the industry, it needs to be incorporated into the product."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
"I am not going to use this solution anymore in the future, I am going to use Aruba."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"It is very cost-effective."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
