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…

Segmentation and remote management have optimized secure hybrid networks and support flexible customization
I find that the most valuable aspect of Ubiquiti WLAN is its ease of segmentation and management, allowing me to tag interfaces without needing to spin up an interface.My feedback on the Unifi management system is that it has made managing my devices and ecosystem easy, allowing me to manage remotely and physically while maintaining a new layer of security for device policies.I would say I am fine with the security features from Ubiquiti WLAN; I have not had any issues managing devices or applying different layers of security.Mesh networking is one of the best for me; especially with my isolated Wi-Fi network, it is managed easily using Ubiquiti.I mostly work with on-prem deployment, but I have a transparent outlay into my network on the cloud for remote insight without using cloud storage on my devices.My deployment for cloud is essentially a virtual private cloud for storage, and I am considering an integration to store videos on Ubiquiti devices, moving them from on-prem to the cloud.I am totally satisfied with the functionality of Ubiquiti WLAN for my clients; it does exactly what I need.For pricing, I rate Ubiquiti WLAN as cheap when compared to others.Ubiquiti WLAN is the only one that provides unlimited capabilities for customization, which I greatly appreciate compared to Cisco options.I have not requested technical support from Ubiquiti before because I usually solve issues on my own if they arise.I rate this product a nine out of ten overall.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The product is easy to use, the signal is very stable with very good performance, and for network devices it is great."
"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."
"It is a pretty good solution."
"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."
"It is easy to set up."
"What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas."
"Their technical support is very good from Huawei Wireless. They respond on time when giving feedback."
"From an implementation perspective, it's easy. I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup."
"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"The pricing is reasonable; there are no licenses required to use the solution, and that's one of the benefits of using the product."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti WLAN is its stability."
"We've received positive feedback from our clients after deploying Ubiquiti WLAN, which has improved our confidence and reputation as a service provider."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"The relationship between the cost versus performance is probably the reason this is the best solution from a pricing perspective."
 

Cons

"The solution could be easier to use."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected."
"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"We are experiencing some challenges in terms of technical support; it's not readily available."
"Technical support is not great. Whenever I open a case, I don't get any immediate support."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."
"Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."
"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."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions. It has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"Its price is reasonable."
"It is very cost-effective."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is less expensive than Ruckus, but its price could be improved to make it more affordable and accessible."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"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."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
