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.

Reliable wireless coverage has supported busy operations and has improved daily connectivity

We have areas that are interference-prone. I am not using BeamFlex technology with Ruckus Wireless. We are satisfied, but there are some problems in the current Ruckus Wireless solution that we could not solve two years ago, and we are still waiting for a solution. These are lateral management problems, and we solved them with another type of tools. However, I do not know if the new versions of the product have resolved that issue. We had approximately 150 access points at that time, so we had many points to change. We had another solution five years ago, and we changed all the access points to Ruckus Wireless solution as well as the Ruckus Wireless platform to manage all the access points.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers very good value for money."

"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."

"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."

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

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

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

"It is easy to set up."

"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions and it has one of the most competitive prices out there."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"For me, this is the best wireless product on the market."

"This solution is easy to use and you need minimal IT experience to work with it."

"The most valuable feature is the performance. It works great."

"Key features are integrated WiFi client performance tools, sophisticated user access controls, and easy and understandable controls and interfaces."

"Ruckus features a centralized architecture solution with ultrasound technology, which helps us with communication and roaming."

"This solution is absolutely amazing! What they tout is very accurate and will work with your network/IT teams to develop a proven and well-catered solution to meet your every need."

"Before Ruckus we had to buy additional devices for client performance and monitoring, but now we can do all such monitoring and improve our client performance."

"We are an authorised reseller of the product; the reason that we sell Ruckus Wireless is that, in my opinion, it's the best-engineered hardware solution."

More Ruckus Wireless pros

Cons

"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. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."

"As such, there are no problems. It has been good. There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product. We had to make some improvements in the network design. The product as such is fine, and there are no big issues. We are using the latest version having most of the features available in the industry, so the specs are very high. If something new comes up new in the industry, it needs to be incorporated into the product."

"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."

"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."

"I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior."

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

"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."

"The scalability could be better."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"The solution's pricing could be cheaper."

"The solution currently lacks the integration of security services."

"It would be nice if there was a way to compare access points and hardware so you can always get the same level of performance."

"I think that Web management, global management, could be improved."

"We've had issues with the ISP, not enough bandwidth."

"If the system could directly download and update, that would be much easier. It could be more automated."

"The cloud controller needs work. My big issue is that all APs can't set static IPs. Also, adding customers to your dashboard is not that easy at all. I wish I could pop out some reporting from the dashboards as well."

"The initial setup is not straightforward per se. You really have to know what you're doing."

More Ruckus Wireless cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Extras come with a surcharge."

"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

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

"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.""

"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."

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

"It is not monthly. It is a kind of perpetual licensing. We pay once depending on the kind of services we need to deliver. There are no licensing fees."

"Its price is very good. This wireless system totally costs about 30,000 euros, and some of the other solutions cost about 45,000 euros. It is a difference of 15,000 euros, which is quite a lot of money."

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"We paid for a three-year contract last year. I am not sure about what we paid. It is certainly less expensive than Meraki."

"It's a lot more expensive."

"It's quite expensive, but that is what you get with these types of solutions."

"We have a yearly license for our multiple mode 200 or 300 Ruckus Wireless systems. It's a good price."

"Ruckus is more expensive than Meraki, but the performance moves in parallel with the cost."

"Ruckus Wireless is an expensive solution."

"It is not cheap, but it also doesn't carry the high price tag of some other products on the market."

"The price is reasonable."

Hi, You can purchase WiFi access points from any of the above vendors. But it must be a commercial access point as in AP a few connect to the limited devices and a few can connect large devices with a single AP. It will totally depend on your work environment and access point signals covering the area. In the hall, AP can cover a large area but there is a concrete wall between two rooms or a corridor then it can down the signal to 50 DBM. So, when deciding on a WIFI/AP keep all these things in mind.

If you want high performance and stability, you should definitely go with Ruckus Wireless. Ruckus Wireless APs have: - Adaptive antenna technology (called BeamFlex) This technology analyzes different paths to reach the client and electronically turns itself to a directional antenna, choosing the path that gives the best performance to reach each specific client. If the client is mobile or if the environment changes (such as a warehouse) the selection of paths/direction also changes instantly. Transmitting in a directional way allows a good Signal-to-Noise Ratio and also causes less interference for other nearby APs outside the path of the directional transmission. - ChannelFly technology This technology chooses the best channel based on performance rather than background scanning for noise. - Polarization Diversity This technology allows the clients not to lose signal strength when held at different angles (important for mobile devices such as tablets and telephones). - Better receive sensitivity compared to the competitors All these features make Ruckus Wireless a better choice than any other competitor (better performance, better coverage area, more stable and surprise-free communication especially in not so easy conditions such as noise, too many clients, too much traffic).
