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."

"It can scale."

"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."

"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 solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."

"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."

"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."

"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."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."

"The solution has a lot of great features."

"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."

"Ubiquiti is affordable, as it does not require recurring licensing fees."

"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."

"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."

More Ubiquiti WLAN pros

Cons

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

"Cloud integration needs to be improved."

"The solution needs to include a captive portal."

"The scalability could be better."

"Huawei Wireless is not scalable. We have had a problem with the solution because it cannot integrate with other servers as the other competitors can."

"The scalability could be a bit better."

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

"Technical support could be better."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"The solution is stable but could improve."

"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."

"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."

"The solution should improve stability."

"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process."

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

"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."

"A potential improvement could be the addition of artificial intelligence features, similar to what Ruckus offers."

More Ubiquiti WLAN cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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