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 reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"It provides high-speed network connections."
"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."
"The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features."
"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"The solution is scalable."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"I use Ubiquiti WLAN because it's cheap and performs well. The range is its best feature for improving network performance."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
"Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product."
 

Cons

"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
"The scalability could be better."
"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."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."
"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."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
"Big networks with more than 80 access points are a problem. The network controller stops sometimes, and I think it's because of the high number of access points."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."
"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."
"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"It is very cost-effective."
"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."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven 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."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
"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."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."

"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
