Effective and extensive campus Wi-Fi with room for better frequency management
We have deployed Huawei CCTV solutions at multiple universities in Pakistan. This includes Huawei Wireless for Smart Campus projects, where we provide blanket Wi-Fi coverage and Safe Campus projects, where we deploy security cameras and multiple devices to monitor the campus Huawei Wireless has…

Unified management of devices ensures a consistent network configuration
I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable. I appreciate that it has a controller instead of just a single access point, similar to how Ruckus operates. I utilize Ubiquiti WLAN unified management system, and it helps streamline network management by making consistent configuration of all my access points and switches. I also have cameras integrated, so I have everything managed through the system. I have seen benefits from utilizing Ubiquiti WLAN as it's a stable solution. I also see scalability as a positive factor for Ubiquiti WLAN.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas."
"It can scale."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"It is a pretty good solution."
"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"The product is easy to use, the signal is very stable with very good performance, and for network devices it is great."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"The solution is very easy to install."
"The management features are valuable."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"The initial setup is easy."
 

Cons

"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"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."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful."
"The stability could be improved."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"The technical support is poor. Just a chat window. No actual person to talk with."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"I am not going to use this solution anymore in the future, I am going to use Aruba."
"The product must provide better warranties."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"It is a stand-alone price."
"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."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
