Effective and extensive campus Wi-Fi with room for better frequency management

Segmentation and remote management have optimized secure hybrid networks and support flexible customization
I find that the most valuable aspect of Ubiquiti WLAN is its ease of segmentation and management, allowing me to tag interfaces without needing to spin up an interface.My feedback on the Unifi management system is that it has made managing my devices and ecosystem easy, allowing me to manage remotely and physically while maintaining a new layer of security for device policies.I would say I am fine with the security features from Ubiquiti WLAN; I have not had any issues managing devices or applying different layers of security.Mesh networking is one of the best for me; especially with my isolated Wi-Fi network, it is managed easily using Ubiquiti.I mostly work with on-prem deployment, but I have a transparent outlay into my network on the cloud for remote insight without using cloud storage on my devices.My deployment for cloud is essentially a virtual private cloud for storage, and I am considering an integration to store videos on Ubiquiti devices, moving them from on-prem to the cloud.I am totally satisfied with the functionality of Ubiquiti WLAN for my clients; it does exactly what I need.For pricing, I rate Ubiquiti WLAN as cheap when compared to others.Ubiquiti WLAN is the only one that provides unlimited capabilities for customization, which I greatly appreciate compared to Cisco options.I have not requested technical support from Ubiquiti before because I usually solve issues on my own if they arise.I rate this product a nine out of ten overall.

Pros

"Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology."
"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."
"At the moment, I only have experience with the on-premise deployment of Huawei Wireless, but the cloud solution looks good on paper. It looks perfect. I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods. My company has four devices running uptime for more than four years without stopping. I also like that the support for Huawei Wireless is swift, and support does precisely what you require, at least from the point of view of the technical engineer who communicated with Huawei support, as I'm more of a technical sales guy. Good technical support is vital to my company, partners, and customers. My company had this ongoing project with an ISP provider in Bulgaria that bought some routers. Still, the existing equipment was a completely different brand, so this provider wanted to migrate to Huawei Wireless and wanted help while migrating the existing infrastructure to Huawei, so the technical engineer assigned to raise the ticket with Huawei for checking and setting parameters correctly provided feedback about Huawei technical support being good quality-wise and TAT-wise. The technical engineer was also Cisco-certified and Juniper-certified and was not experienced with Huawei equipment. Still, he did mention that the Huawei Wireless router interface was straightforward, and even a person who's new to it would find it easy to configure. Huawei Wireless is user-friendly, which is another pro of the solution. It's easy to manage, and even the program language setting can be done with fewer commands than Juniper and Cisco equipment. Some of the features in Juniper need an external program, and the same features can be found in Huawei Wireless built-in, which I find remarkable."
"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods."
"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions and it has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"The relationship between the cost versus performance is probably the reason this is the best solution from a pricing perspective."
"The solution is very easy to install."
"The scalability of Ubiquiti WLAN is very good, and my customers are small, medium, and enterprise companies."
"As far as the support is concerned, or the overall experience with the solution, Ubiquiti is simple and easy and inexpensive."
"I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable."
"All of the interfacing is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
 

Cons

"Technical support is not great. Whenever I open a case, I don't get any immediate support."
"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."
"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."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product."
"We are experiencing some challenges in terms of technical support; it's not readily available."
"It is not a stable solution."
"The new user interface could be improved - some of the features in the old UI are missing in the new UI."
"The product must provide better warranties."
"There seems to be a drop in service sometimes. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"The room for improvement is in the controller levels."
"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 could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
 

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."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"Its price is very good. This wireless system totally costs about 30,000 euros, and some of the other solutions cost about 45,000 euros. It is a difference of 15,000 euros, which is quite a lot of money."
"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.""
"The product has a good price."
"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."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing."
"The solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
"The tool is affordable."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
