Effective and extensive campus Wi-Fi with room for better frequency management

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

"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."
"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."
"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"As far as the support is concerned, or the overall experience with the solution, Ubiquiti is simple and easy and inexpensive."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."
"I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable."
"The initial setup process was relatively straightforward, with only minor challenges typically caused by user errors, such as password mismatches."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"We've received positive feedback from our clients after deploying Ubiquiti WLAN, which has improved our confidence and reputation as a service provider."
 

Cons

"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"The scalability could be better."
"The scalability could be better."
"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"We are experiencing some challenges in terms of technical support; it's not readily available."
"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. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."
"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."
"There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product."
"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)."
"The solution should improve stability."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"This is not a simple solution like you might find with other vendors."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has a good price."
"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."
