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

"I have a very good experience with this product, so I'm very satisfied with it."

"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."

"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."

"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology, and there are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility, options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself, and its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."

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

"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."

"Overall, we've been quite pleased with the solution and its capabilities as well as its pricing."

"The solution is easy to set up."

More Huawei Wireless pros

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

"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."

"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."

"The Cloud Key Controller is a valuable feature because it allows me to access the wireless system from the cloud and locally within the same network, enhancing network management."

"The initial setup was very straightforward."

"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 has a pretty simple approach to WLAN, you can manage it for free with a one-off purchase, and it offers a very good hotspot manager with very good interfacing, very nice documentation, and an initial setup that is quite easy."

"Ubiquiti WLAN has good availability, and it is much cheaper."

Cons

"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."

"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."

"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful."

"The security of the solution could be better in the future."

"The scalability could be a bit better."

"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."

"The stability could be improved."

"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"This is not a simple solution like you might find with other vendors."

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

"Yes, Ubiquiti uses a concept called adoption. AP's disappear from management software frequently and the only way to re-adopt AP's is to do a hard reset of the device."

"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."

"The product must provide better warranties."

"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."

"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."

"I think the main area for improvement with Ubiquiti WLAN is that they need to be far more specific in explaining the advantages of one product versus another. They have many access points - over 30. We often get questions about the right product for specific circumstances, and it's difficult to answer them clearly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Its price is reasonable."

"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."

"It is not monthly. It is a kind of perpetual licensing. We pay once depending on the kind of services we need to deliver. There are no licensing fees."

"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions. It has one of the most competitive prices out there."

"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

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

"We don't have any control on the pricing. This comes from Huawei in India. Pricing-wise, Huawei is very aggressive and competitive if you compare them to competitors, like Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus. The Indian Huawei team tells us, "Just pick up the order and design the infrastructure. If there are any pricing challenge, we'll work on that and we will try to match things 100 percent.""
