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

"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods."
"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."
"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."
"The entire campus (students, administration, the project team, and purchase team) was very happy with this particular product."
"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"The solution is very stable; there are no bugs or glitches, it works very well, it does not crash, and the performance is very good, and so far we have not received any complaints or any faulty hardware or anything."
"Overall, I am satisfied with the solution."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The pricing is reasonable; there are no licenses required to use the solution, and that's one of the benefits of using the product."
"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."
"All of the interfacing is very good."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"As far as the support is concerned, or the overall experience with the solution, Ubiquiti is simple and easy and inexpensive."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
 

Cons

"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use."
"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
"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."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features."
"I think the main area for improvement with Ubiquiti WLAN is that they need to be far more specific in explaining the advantages of one product versus another. They have many access points - over 30. We often get questions about the right product for specific circumstances, and it's difficult to answer them clearly."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"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."
"It is very cost-effective."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"This product is more cost-effective than some others on the market."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"It is a stand-alone price."
"It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality."
"Its cost is reasonable."
