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…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"Overall, we've been quite pleased with the solution and its capabilities as well as its pricing."
"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."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"Overall, I am satisfied with the solution."
"It can scale."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product."
"I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"This solution gives me a lot of power to manage the WLAN for my company."
 

Cons

"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."
"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use. As a partner, you can use the solution for free, for thirty days, for example. On paper, everything looks fine, but you have to get permission and explain why you want to download the software, even if it's just for demo purposes. I don't get why I have to do this as a partner and still give an explanation that this would be for a demo setup. Downloading the solution isn't a click-and-install process that should go smoothly and efficiently. You have to get a lot of approvals and explain a lot, and in the end, you find out that you received the approval for one piece of software. It looks like you need additional software to use the software. My company asked for approval and received the approval three days later, but you need to install another software to use some of the features. In the past, most features were separate. Because Huawei wants a single pane of glass where all features should work with the Huawei equipment, Huawei decided to combine everything into the iMaster NCE Campus, which incorporates every other cloud solution. However, you still have to ask for approval for every piece of software, and without clear information on the features, the type of software, and the software files required, it's not so good from my point of view."
"Technical support is not great. Whenever I open a case, I don't get any immediate support."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"We are experiencing some challenges in terms of technical support; it's not readily available."
"The speed could be a bit better."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five 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."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"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.""
"Its price is reasonable."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"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."
"It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality."
"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."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing."
"The tool is affordable."
