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

"Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology."

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

"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."

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

"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."

"It can scale."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."

"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."

"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."

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

"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."

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

"The solution is scalable."

"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."

Cons

"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."

"Cloud integration needs to be improved."

"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."

"What needs improvement in Huawei Wireless is after-sales support. I've faced many after-sales support issues, so that's the area I want Huawei to improve. Having an SLA with customers is what I'd suggest to Huawei Wireless."

"The solution needs to include a captive portal."

"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."

"I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use."

"The scalability could be a bit better."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"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."

"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."

"The product’s bandwidth could be better."

"The room for improvement is in the controller levels."

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

"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."

"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."

"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."

More Ubiquiti WLAN cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."

"The product has a good price."

"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."

"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."

"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."

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

"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"It is a cost-effective solution."

"The tool's price is very friendly."

"There is no licensing cost for this solution."

"The pricing is very reasonable."

"It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality."

"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."

"This solution is reasonably priced."
