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

"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."
"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"I think it's a good technology. I like that it transparently connects with LDAP. The technology has a lot of capacity for WiFi six. It provides notifications, and there are many ways to connect with fiber. There is an electrical tool, and you can put an SFP transceiver. There are also many ways to implement antennas."
"It is easy to set up."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"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."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."
"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage."
"Great management interface."
"The main advantage of Ubiquiti WLAN is the network management. The whole concept has one complete range of products from end to end, with very basic and effective management systems. That's a key benefit in my mind. But the main thing is that it's so competitive—far more competitive than the other leading American brands."
"The solution is scalable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good availability, and it is much cheaper."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
 

Cons

"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use."
"The scalability could be better."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"The speed could be a bit better."
"Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"Support from Ubiquiti is hard to obtain. However, there is a good forum where a lot of information can be found."
"My expert view on Ubiquiti improvement is that capacity has been a concern, especially since I needed to change some of my devices to a 10 gig network due to limitations."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
