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 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 a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology."
"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."
"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"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."
"What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas."
"The solution is not complex to deploy."
"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."
"The solution is very easy to install."
"The most beneficial thing about Ubiquiti is that it is simple to deploy."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product."
 

Cons

"Price is one of the major problems of the solution, and because of this, our company's customers want to migrate to some other product from Huawei."
"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."
"The speed could be a bit better."
"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."
"I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior."
"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."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment."
"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"Big networks with more than 80 access points are a problem. The network controller stops sometimes, and I think it's because of the high number of access points."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"The coverage could be increased."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very cost-effective."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."

"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."
"The solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing."
