Effective and extensive campus Wi-Fi with room for better frequency management
We have deployed Huawei CCTV solutions at multiple universities in Pakistan. This includes Huawei Wireless for Smart Campus projects, where we provide blanket Wi-Fi coverage and Safe Campus projects, where we deploy security cameras and multiple devices to monitor the campus Huawei Wireless has…

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."
"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"It provides high-speed network connections."
"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"The solution is very stable; there are no bugs or glitches, it works very well, it does not crash, and the performance is very good, and so far we have not received any complaints or any faulty hardware or anything."
"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"Ubiquiti is affordable, as it does not require recurring licensing fees."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has allowed us to deploy Wi-Fi as a vast service to allow the customer to get a feel for our internet and then come and purchase the service."
"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."
"I am totally satisfied with the functionality of Ubiquiti WLAN for my clients; it does exactly what I need."
"I use Ubiquiti WLAN because it's cheap and performs well. The range is its best feature for improving network performance."
"The relationship between the cost versus performance is probably the reason this is the best solution from a pricing perspective."
"The solution is scalable."
"Once they are in, and because you can have multiple access points, the handoff between different access points, one to another, is really nice, you are not losing signals, dropping connections, and other such things, it is all very good."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The speed could be a bit better."
"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful."
"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."
"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."
"This is not a simple solution like you might find with other vendors."
"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 solution should include and expand on a central management system."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself."
"The room for improvement is in the controller levels."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"Right now, my company made a one-time purchase of Huawei Wireless. It depends, but in most of the projects where customers buy hardware with some software, it's a one-time purchase. Customers pay a yearly fee for other projects for support and additional software features, such as email protection firmware updates for cybersecurity. You'll also receive information about the latest attacks and get more protection if you pay an additional fee apart from the standard license fee. You'll also get an additional warranty for Huawei Wireless, a yearly contract."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"Its price is reasonable."
"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."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five 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.""
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is less expensive than Ruckus, but its price could be improved to make it more affordable and accessible."
"This product is more cost-effective than some others on the market."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"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."
