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

"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"It can scale."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."
"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."
"There was a time when we were using Cisco switches and attempting to integrate Ubiquiti UniFi switches into our network infrastructure. Eventually, after some effort, we managed to understand the process. Initially, it was challenging to configure the unified console to manage virtual networks alongside internal networks effectively. We had to comprehend how both systems would integrate carefully. It became apparent that maximizing the usage of Cisco switches required a thorough understanding of how UniFi operates at the backend."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti WLAN is its stability."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
 

Cons

"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"The stability could be improved."
"The speed could be a bit better."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support could be better."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process."
"It does require some maintenance from my side, including troubleshooting and fixing occasionally."
"A potential improvement could be the addition of artificial intelligence features, similar to what Ruckus offers."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."

"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."
