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

"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"It can scale."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"It is easy to set up."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"Great management interface."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"The initial setup process was relatively straightforward, with only minor challenges typically caused by user errors, such as password mismatches."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources."
"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."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."
"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
 

Cons

"They should include more security features in the solution."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"Technical support could be better."
"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"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."
"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."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"A potential improvement could be the addition of artificial intelligence features, similar to what Ruckus offers."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"The product must provide better warranties."
"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."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"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 product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"The product has a good price."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is less expensive than Ruckus, but its price could be improved to make it more affordable and accessible."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
"The tool is affordable."
"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."
"It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality."
"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
