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 product is simple and easy to use."

"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."

"At the moment, I only have experience with the on-premise deployment of Huawei Wireless, but the cloud solution looks good on paper. It looks perfect. I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods. My company has four devices running uptime for more than four years without stopping. I also like that the support for Huawei Wireless is swift, and support does precisely what you require, at least from the point of view of the technical engineer who communicated with Huawei support, as I'm more of a technical sales guy. Good technical support is vital to my company, partners, and customers. My company had this ongoing project with an ISP provider in Bulgaria that bought some routers. Still, the existing equipment was a completely different brand, so this provider wanted to migrate to Huawei Wireless and wanted help while migrating the existing infrastructure to Huawei, so the technical engineer assigned to raise the ticket with Huawei for checking and setting parameters correctly provided feedback about Huawei technical support being good quality-wise and TAT-wise. The technical engineer was also Cisco-certified and Juniper-certified and was not experienced with Huawei equipment. Still, he did mention that the Huawei Wireless router interface was straightforward, and even a person who's new to it would find it easy to configure. Huawei Wireless is user-friendly, which is another pro of the solution. It's easy to manage, and even the program language setting can be done with fewer commands than Juniper and Cisco equipment. Some of the features in Juniper need an external program, and the same features can be found in Huawei Wireless built-in, which I find remarkable."

"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."

"The solution is very stable; there are no bugs or glitches, it works very well, it does not crash, and the performance is very good, and so far we have not received any complaints or any faulty hardware or anything."

"The most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems. Its price is very nice. The other WiFi systems cost about 15% more."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."

"The solution's roaming feature is very nice; when you move to another place it automatically changes the access point, and it's one of the most valuable features."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"It is a cost-effective solution."

"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."

"Its most valuable feature is pricing."

"As a turnkey solution."

"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."

"Ubiquiti WLAN has allowed us to deploy Wi-Fi as a vast service to allow the customer to get a feel for our internet and then come and purchase the service."

"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."

"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."

Cons

"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."

"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."

"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it."

"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."

"The scalability could be a bit better."

"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."

"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."

"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."

"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."

"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."

"The technical support could improve, they are slow."

"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."

"There seems to be a drop in service sometimes. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."

"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself."

"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."
