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.

Pros

"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."
"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."
"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"It is easy to set up."
"I think it's a good technology. I like that it transparently connects with LDAP. The technology has a lot of capacity for WiFi six. It provides notifications, and there are many ways to connect with fiber. There is an electrical tool, and you can put an SFP transceiver. There are also many ways to implement antennas."
"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"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 web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good availability, and it is much cheaper."
"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component."
"Once they are in, and because you can have multiple access points, the handoff between different access points, one to another, is really nice, you are not losing signals, dropping connections, and other such things, it is all very good."
"The management features are valuable."
"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."
 

Cons

"Technical support is not ideal. They sometimes cannot connect to the wireless access point or their connection drops."
"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."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"Technical support could be better."
"The speed could be a bit better."
"We are experiencing some challenges in terms of technical support; it's not readily available."
"What needs improvement in Huawei Wireless is after-sales support. I've faced many after-sales support issues, so that's the area I want Huawei to improve. Having an SLA with customers is what I'd suggest to Huawei Wireless."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"Big networks with more than 80 access points are a problem. The network controller stops sometimes, and I think it's because of the high number of access points."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"The product must provide better warranties."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Extras come with a surcharge."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"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 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."
"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap, I rate Ubiquiti WLAN's pricing a five to six out of ten."
"The solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
"The tool is affordable."
"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."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is less expensive than Ruckus, but its price could be improved to make it more affordable and accessible."
"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."
"It is a stand-alone price."
