Effective and extensive campus Wi-Fi with room for better frequency management

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 solution offers very good value for money."
"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology, and there are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility, options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself, and its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."
"Overall, I am satisfied with the solution."
"That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac."
"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."
"Ubiquiti is good even for large corporations."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources."
"Ubiquiti is affordable, as it does not require recurring licensing fees."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"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 provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
 

Cons

"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"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."
"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"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."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"The speed could be a bit better."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"There seems to be a drop in service sometimes. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"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."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"It is very cost-effective."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"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."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"It is a stand-alone price."
"The solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."
"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."
"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."
