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

"It is easy to set up."

"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."

"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."

"It provides high-speed network connections."

"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."

"It has all of the features that we need."

"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."

"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"The most beneficial thing about Ubiquiti is that it is simple to deploy."

"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."

"The initial setup was very straightforward."

"This solution gives me a lot of power to manage the WLAN for my company."

"The management features are valuable."

"Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources."

"I am totally satisfied with the functionality of Ubiquiti WLAN for my clients; it does exactly what I need."

"The main advantage of Ubiquiti WLAN is the network management. The whole concept has one complete range of products from end to end, with very basic and effective management systems. That's a key benefit in my mind. But the main thing is that it's so competitive—far more competitive than the other leading American brands."

More Ubiquiti WLAN pros

Cons

"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."

"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."

"The scalability could be better."

"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."

"They should include more security features in the solution."

"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."

"Support could be a bit faster."

"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"A potential improvement could be the addition of artificial intelligence features, similar to what Ruckus offers."

"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."

"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."

"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)."

"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."

"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features."

"The technical support could improve, they are slow."

"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."

More Ubiquiti WLAN cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."

"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions. It has one of the most competitive prices out there."

"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."

"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."

"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."

"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 price is reasonable."

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."

"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."

"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."

"The tool is affordable."

"This solution is reasonably priced."

"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."

"There is a license required for this solution."

"The tool's price is very friendly."
