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.

Wireless management gets easier with cloud access while security improvements are needed
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. It enables me to scan the wireless system to identify radio frequencies that can impact the network, allowing for remediation. The routine updates are a valuable feature, as they are regularly provided and enhance security and functionality.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It can scale."
"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti WLAN is its stability."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The solution is very easy to install."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good availability, and it is much cheaper."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
 

Cons

"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"Technical support could be better."
"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"The manageability could be improved."
"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."
"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."
"The speed could be a bit better."
"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."
"Support from Ubiquiti is hard to obtain. However, there is a good forum where a lot of information can be found."
"The solution should improve stability."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"Its price is reasonable."
"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"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."
"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"It is very cost-effective."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN’s price is higher than other competitors."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price 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."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
