Assiatant Manager / pre-sales manager at PTCL

Customizable and has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, and smart antennas

The initial setup for Huawei Wireless is easy, so it's a nine out of ten for me. It takes six to eight weeks to deploy the product. Initially, as I'm in pre-sales, I generate RFPs and the response when a customer has issued a published tender. I'll check the requirement, and then I'll map it to the Huawei product. I'll then make the Statement of Compliance (SOC) and select the proper model. Next, I'll send the information and document to Huawei for technical vetting. After technical vetting, I'll request Huawei to share information on costs and other vetted documents I need to complete, and once completed, I'll submit the documents. It'll then take approximately ten to fifteen days. Deploying Huawei Wireless requires teamwork because the deployment process involves different people and teams, such as the project manager, post-deployment, and pre-sales teams, to deploy the product completely.

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 product is simple and easy to use."

"That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac."

"Installation is easy."

"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."

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

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

"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."

"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"The main advantage of Ubiquiti WLAN is the network management. The whole concept has one complete range of products from end to end, with very basic and effective management systems. That's a key benefit in my mind. But the main thing is that it's so competitive—far more competitive than the other leading American brands."

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

"The solution is not complex to deploy."

"The solution has a lot of great features."

"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."

"The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage."

"The solution is scalable."

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

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."

"The manageability could be improved."

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

"There was one time I had a problem with their centralized licensing. I called the Indian call center, but the response was not that good. One guy attended this call and he told me, "Definitely, I am forwarding your call to the next level. I'll let you know." After that, it took between 10 to 15 hours before I got a call back. By then, we had already resolved the issue. Therefore, they could improve the local support; there should be at very good Tier 1 and 2 support in India. They should be both proactive and reactive."

"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."

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

"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."

"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."

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

"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."

"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."

"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."

"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."

"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Its price is reasonable."

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

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

"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."

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

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