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.

Cons

"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"The scalability could be better."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"Technical support is not ideal. They sometimes cannot connect to the wireless access point or their connection drops."

"We are experiencing some challenges in terms of technical support; it's not readily available."
"They should include more security features in the solution."

"The solution should improve stability."

"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"It does require some maintenance from my side, including troubleshooting and fixing occasionally."
 

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."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"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."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."
"This product is more cost-effective than some others on the market."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."
