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

"It can scale."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems. Its price is very nice. The other WiFi systems cost about 15% more."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"Installation is easy."
"I have a very good experience with this product, so I'm very satisfied with it."
"The relationship between the cost versus performance is probably the reason this is the best solution from a pricing perspective."
"The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage."
"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."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"Price is one of the major problems of the solution, and because of this, our company's customers want to migrate to some other product from Huawei."
"We are experiencing some challenges in terms of technical support; it's not readily available."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"There seems to be a drop in service sometimes. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"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."
"The room for improvement is in the controller levels."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"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."
"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."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"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."
"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."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"The solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"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."
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."
"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"Ubiquiti WLAN’s price is higher than other competitors."
