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

"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."
"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."
"Installation is easy."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"It can scale."
"I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"The main difference between Ubiquiti and other solutions is the wireless coverage and the equipment, and the device in itself is solid with all the functionality that I need."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
"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."
"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very 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 was very straightforward."
 

Cons

"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"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."
"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful."
"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."
"This is not a simple solution like you might find with other vendors."
"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"I am not going to use this solution anymore in the future, I am going to use Aruba."
"Support from Ubiquiti is hard to obtain. However, there is a good forum where a lot of information can be found."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
"I don't know if it can be used in large companies, where you have large environments to manage, or with data centers or services that you offer on a large scale (over 200 AP/switch devices)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"The tool's price is good and falls somewhere in the middle."
"It is a stand-alone price."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."
"Ubiquiti WLAN’s price is higher than other competitors."
