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."
"At the moment, I only have experience with the on-premise deployment of Huawei Wireless, but the cloud solution looks good on paper. It looks perfect. I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods. My company has four devices running uptime for more than four years without stopping. I also like that the support for Huawei Wireless is swift, and support does precisely what you require, at least from the point of view of the technical engineer who communicated with Huawei support, as I'm more of a technical sales guy. Good technical support is vital to my company, partners, and customers. My company had this ongoing project with an ISP provider in Bulgaria that bought some routers. Still, the existing equipment was a completely different brand, so this provider wanted to migrate to Huawei Wireless and wanted help while migrating the existing infrastructure to Huawei, so the technical engineer assigned to raise the ticket with Huawei for checking and setting parameters correctly provided feedback about Huawei technical support being good quality-wise and TAT-wise. The technical engineer was also Cisco-certified and Juniper-certified and was not experienced with Huawei equipment. Still, he did mention that the Huawei Wireless router interface was straightforward, and even a person who's new to it would find it easy to configure. Huawei Wireless is user-friendly, which is another pro of the solution. It's easy to manage, and even the program language setting can be done with fewer commands than Juniper and Cisco equipment. Some of the features in Juniper need an external program, and the same features can be found in Huawei Wireless built-in, which I find remarkable."
"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"It can scale."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"I use Ubiquiti WLAN because it's cheap and performs well. The range is its best feature for improving network performance."
"The initial setup process was relatively straightforward, with only minor challenges typically caused by user errors, such as password mismatches."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."
"The most beneficial thing about Ubiquiti is that it is simple to deploy."
 

Cons

"Technical support could be better."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"The scalability could be better."
"The manageability could be improved."
"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
"It is not a stable solution."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."
