Deputy Manager at Central Bank of Nigeria
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 has all of the features that we need."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."
"It provides high-speed network connections."
"From an implementation perspective, it's easy. I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"The initial setup is easy."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
"The solution is very easy to install."
 

Cons

"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"The stability could be improved."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"Support from Ubiquiti is hard to obtain. However, there is a good forum where a lot of information can be found."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
"It does require some maintenance from my side, including troubleshooting and fixing occasionally."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is reasonable."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"The product has a good price."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"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."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."
"This product is more cost-effective than some others on the market."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
