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.

Managing installations through one interface enhances efficiency but AI features improvement
Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product. It provides one interface to manage all installations, allowing me to monitor all customers through the same web interface. The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage.

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."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"Installation is easy."
"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 can scale."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"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 product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"I use Ubiquiti WLAN because it's cheap and performs well. The range is its best feature for improving network performance."
 

Cons

"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"The stability could be improved."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"The manageability could be improved."
"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 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."
"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."
"A potential improvement could be the addition of artificial intelligence features, similar to what Ruckus offers."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"The solution should improve stability."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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.""
"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"It is very cost-effective."
"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."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"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."
