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

"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions and it has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"You can add a lot of features, such as cloud, integration with IoT, etc. They have a lot of options available but the top feature is the performance."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"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 most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti WLAN is its stability."
"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."
"The relationship between the cost versus performance is probably the reason this is the best solution from a pricing perspective."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"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."
"I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior."
"The speed could be a bit better."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"The stability could be improved."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
"I am not going to use this solution anymore in the future, I am going to use Aruba."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"Support from Ubiquiti is hard to obtain. However, there is a good forum where a lot of information can be found."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"My expert view on Ubiquiti improvement is that capacity has been a concern, especially since I needed to change some of my devices to a 10 gig network due to limitations."
"The technical support is not good."
"The new user interface could be improved - some of the features in the old UI are missing in the new UI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Extras come with a surcharge."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"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."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN’s price is higher than other competitors."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is less expensive than Ruckus, but its price could be improved to make it more affordable and accessible."
"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 solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"This product is more cost-effective than some others on the market."
