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

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

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"The solution is easy to set up."

"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."

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

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

"It can scale."

"It is a pretty good solution."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component."

"The initial setup process was relatively straightforward, with only minor challenges typically caused by user errors, such as password mismatches."

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

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

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

"The only way to re-adopt AP's is to do a hard reset of the device."

"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."

"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

More Ubiquiti WLAN pros

Cons

"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."

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

"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected."

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

"The scalability could be a bit better."

"We are experiencing some challenges in terms of technical support; it's not readily available."

"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."

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

More Huawei Wireless cons

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

"The solution should improve stability."

"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."

"The solution is stable but could improve."

"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."

"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."

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

"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."

More Ubiquiti WLAN cons
