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

"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."

"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."

"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."

"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."

"From an implementation perspective, it's easy. I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup."

"Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology."

"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

More Huawei Wireless pros

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

"The solution is very easy to install."

"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."

"Its most valuable feature is pricing."

"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The initial setup was very straightforward."

"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."

"The initial setup is easy."

Cons

"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."

"The scalability could be better."

"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."

"What needs improvement in Huawei Wireless is after-sales support. I've faced many after-sales support issues, so that's the area I want Huawei to improve. Having an SLA with customers is what I'd suggest to Huawei Wireless."

"Support could be a bit faster."

"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."

"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use. As a partner, you can use the solution for free, for thirty days, for example. On paper, everything looks fine, but you have to get permission and explain why you want to download the software, even if it's just for demo purposes. I don't get why I have to do this as a partner and still give an explanation that this would be for a demo setup. Downloading the solution isn't a click-and-install process that should go smoothly and efficiently. You have to get a lot of approvals and explain a lot, and in the end, you find out that you received the approval for one piece of software. It looks like you need additional software to use the software. My company asked for approval and received the approval three days later, but you need to install another software to use some of the features. In the past, most features were separate. Because Huawei wants a single pane of glass where all features should work with the Huawei equipment, Huawei decided to combine everything into the iMaster NCE Campus, which incorporates every other cloud solution. However, you still have to ask for approval for every piece of software, and without clear information on the features, the type of software, and the software files required, it's not so good from my point of view."

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

More Huawei Wireless cons

"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."

"Support from Ubiquiti is hard to obtain. However, there is a good forum where a lot of information can be found."

"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."

"The logs are not detailed enough. You can't clearly see what is being blocked in Ubiquiti WLAN, making the troubleshooting process a little bit harder."

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

"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."

"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."

"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has a good price."

"Its price is reasonable."

"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."

"I pay monthly for the solution."

"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."

"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"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."

"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."

"The tool is affordable."
