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

"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"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 most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."
"I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"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."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable, and we haven't had any issues with it."
"I use Ubiquiti WLAN because it's cheap and performs well. The range is its best feature for improving network performance."
 

Cons

"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"The manageability could be improved."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"Huawei Wireless is not scalable. We have had a problem with the solution because it cannot integrate with other servers as the other competitors can."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"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."
"When they release new products, you should know if there is backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, it is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"Support from Ubiquiti is hard to obtain. However, there is a good forum where a lot of information can be found."
"I think the coverage could be increased."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself."
"The coverage could be increased."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not monthly. It is a kind of perpetual licensing. We pay once depending on the kind of services we need to deliver. There are no licensing fees."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven 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.""
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"The product has a good price."
"Ubiquiti WLAN’s price is higher than other competitors."
"This product is more cost-effective than some others on the market."
"It is a stand-alone price."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"The tool is affordable."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
