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 reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."

"It provides high-speed network connections."

"The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features."

"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."

"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."

"It has all of the features that we need."

"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."

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

More Huawei Wireless pros

"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."

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

"Its most valuable feature is pricing."

"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."

"Great management interface."

"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."

"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."

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

More Ubiquiti WLAN pros

Cons

"The solution could be easier to use."

"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."

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

"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."

"They should include more security features in the solution."

"Cloud integration needs to be improved."

"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."

"The solution needs to include a captive portal."

More Huawei Wireless cons

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

"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 product must provide better warranties."

"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."

"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."

"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."

"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features."

"The solution should improve stability."

More Ubiquiti WLAN cons
