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

"The most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems. Its price is very nice. The other WiFi systems cost about 15% more."
"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."
"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 solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."
"It is easy to set up."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"All of the interfacing is very good."
"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."
 

Cons

"There was one time I had a problem with their centralized licensing. I called the Indian call center, but the response was not that good. One guy attended this call and he told me, "Definitely, I am forwarding your call to the next level. I'll let you know." After that, it took between 10 to 15 hours before I got a call back. By then, we had already resolved the issue. Therefore, they could improve the local support; there should be at very good Tier 1 and 2 support in India. They should be both proactive and reactive."
"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 technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"The scalability could be better."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."
"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"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."
"It is not a stable solution."
"The coverage could be increased."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"The product has a good price."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"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."
"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.""
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap, I rate Ubiquiti WLAN's pricing a five to six out of ten."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."
"Its cost is reasonable."
