Affordable platform with efficient analytics features
Huawei adapters have facilitated seamless integration with mobile devices, extending the LAN's reach. Additionally, including CampusInsight, a component offering analytics and visibility into wireless connectivity, has proven invaluable. This feature enables us to monitor network health and troubleshoot user-related issues efficiently. The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations. I advise others to go for Cisco if cost is not a factor. Otherwise, they can explore other options based on the availability of that OEM within the country. We have Huawei present in our country and provide all the necessary support, so we went forward with them. I rate it a nine out of ten.

Wireless management gets easier with cloud access while security improvements are needed
The Cloud Key Controller is a valuable feature because it allows me to access the wireless system from the cloud and locally within the same network, enhancing network management. It enables me to scan the wireless system to identify radio frequencies that can impact the network, allowing for remediation. The routine updates are a valuable feature, as they are regularly provided and enhance security and functionality.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas."
"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."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"The solution is scalable."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"I am totally satisfied with the functionality of Ubiquiti WLAN for my clients; it does exactly what I need."
"The solution is not complex to deploy."
"Great management interface."
 

Cons

"The manageability could be improved."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"Huawei Wireless is not scalable. We have had a problem with the solution because it cannot integrate with other servers as the other competitors can."
"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."
"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."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"The logs are not detailed enough. You can't clearly see what is being blocked in Ubiquiti WLAN, making the troubleshooting process a little bit harder."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"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."
"Support from Ubiquiti is hard to obtain. However, there is a good forum where a lot of information can be found."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"It is very cost-effective."
"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."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"It is a stand-alone price."
"The solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
"This product is more cost-effective than some others on the market."
"The tool is affordable."
