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:

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

"The initial setup was very straightforward."
 

Cons

"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"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."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"The room for improvement is in the controller levels."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
"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."
"It is not a stable solution."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very cost-effective."
"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."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"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."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a low-priced product."
"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."
