Effective and extensive campus Wi-Fi with room for better frequency management

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.

Pros

"What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas."
"I have a very good experience with this product, so I'm very satisfied with it."
"The product is easy to use, the signal is very stable with very good performance, and for network devices it is great."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"The solution's roaming feature is very nice; when you move to another place it automatically changes the access point, and it's one of the most valuable features."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions and it has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"Firstly, I initially purchased the device to build a VPN, and one very valuable feature for me was the ability to create a layer two VPN, which was available on the legacy ER router. It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with."
"Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product."
"I use Ubiquiti WLAN because it's cheap and performs well. The range is its best feature for improving network performance."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable, and we haven't had any issues with it."
"Ubiquiti is affordable, as it does not require recurring licensing fees."
 

Cons

"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"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."
"I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product."
"The speed could be a bit better."
"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."
"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"There seems to be a drop in service sometimes. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"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."
"I think the coverage could be increased."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is reasonable."
"It is very cost-effective."
"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 licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"The product has a good price."

"Ubiquiti WLAN is less expensive than Ruckus, but its price could be improved to make it more affordable and accessible."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing."
"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
