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.

Managing installations through one interface enhances efficiency but AI features improvement

Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product. It provides one interface to manage all installations, allowing me to monitor all customers through the same web interface. The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."

"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 can scale."

"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."

"We've found the solution to be quite stable."

"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."

"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."

"Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology."

More Huawei Wireless pros

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

"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."

"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."

"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."

"The management features are valuable."

"Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product."

"The solution has a lot of great features."

"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."

More Ubiquiti WLAN pros

Cons

"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."

"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."

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

"The security of the solution could be better in the future."

"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."

"There was one time I had a problem with their centralized licensing. I called the Indian call center, but the response was not that good. One guy attended this call and he told me, "Definitely, I am forwarding your call to the next level. I'll let you know." After that, it took between 10 to 15 hours before I got a call back. By then, we had already resolved the issue. Therefore, they could improve the local support; there should be at very good Tier 1 and 2 support in India. They should be both proactive and reactive."

"Technical support could be better."

"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."

"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."

"It is not a stable solution."

"The solution should improve stability."

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

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

"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."

"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."

"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."

"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."

"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."

"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."

"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 an expensive solution."
