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 solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."

"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."

"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."

"The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features."

"You can add a lot of features, such as cloud, integration with IoT, etc. They have a lot of options available but the top feature is the performance."

"It is easy to set up."

"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"Ubiquiti WLAN has good availability, and it is much cheaper."

"I use Ubiquiti WLAN because it's cheap and performs well. The range is its best feature for improving network performance."

"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."

"The solution is scalable."

"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."

"As far as the support is concerned, or the overall experience with the solution, Ubiquiti is simple and easy and inexpensive."

"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."

Cons

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

"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use. As a partner, you can use the solution for free, for thirty days, for example. On paper, everything looks fine, but you have to get permission and explain why you want to download the software, even if it's just for demo purposes. I don't get why I have to do this as a partner and still give an explanation that this would be for a demo setup. Downloading the solution isn't a click-and-install process that should go smoothly and efficiently. You have to get a lot of approvals and explain a lot, and in the end, you find out that you received the approval for one piece of software. It looks like you need additional software to use the software. My company asked for approval and received the approval three days later, but you need to install another software to use some of the features. In the past, most features were separate. Because Huawei wants a single pane of glass where all features should work with the Huawei equipment, Huawei decided to combine everything into the iMaster NCE Campus, which incorporates every other cloud solution. However, you still have to ask for approval for every piece of software, and without clear information on the features, the type of software, and the software files required, it's not so good from my point of view."

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

"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."

"The stability could be improved."

"As such, there are no problems. It has been good. There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product. We had to make some improvements in the network design. The product as such is fine, and there are no big issues. We are using the latest version having most of the features available in the industry, so the specs are very high. If something new comes up new in the industry, it needs to be incorporated into the product."

"Technical support is not ideal. They sometimes cannot connect to the wireless access point or their connection drops."

"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."

"I think the coverage could be increased."

"The product’s bandwidth could be better."

"Big networks with more than 80 access points are a problem. The network controller stops sometimes, and I think it's because of the high number of access points."

"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."

"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."

"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."

"The product must provide better warranties."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is very good. This wireless system totally costs about 30,000 euros, and some of the other solutions cost about 45,000 euros. It is a difference of 15,000 euros, which is quite a lot of money."

"The product has a good price."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."

"Extras come with a surcharge."

"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.""

"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."

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

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"Its cost is reasonable."

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

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."

"There is no licensing cost for this solution."

"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."

"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."

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

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap, I rate Ubiquiti WLAN's pricing a five to six out of ten."
