A tool that offers a good performance at a good price
Over a period of time, the technologies change, and users may not get the proper things. In general, there is a need to keep changing devices after a period of five years, especially considering that I operate in a university where we don't have closed offices, while the devices' performance level goes down in open spaces. Though in our institution, we tried to make some changes to the product, we know that nothing much is going to change. In our institution, we plan to have indoor and room-based APs, but even then, some of the rooms don't come in a dust-free environment, so there is a need for us to experiment with the product as the degrading of the devices and signals still keeps happening. In our institution, we are making some changes to adopt to an indoor-based system. For certain setups, D-Link Wireless works better and ensures that users get value for their money. If you know how to maintain a technology, then it can help you. I rate the overall tool an eight to nine out of ten.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is an affordable product that offers good performance. This is why it is popular with our customers. It offers good speed and bandwidth."
"The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability."
"The setup process is very easy."
"D-Link is a good product that is quite affordable and I recommend it."
"The tool supports new technologies."
"The system simplifies network management."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's scalable, user friendly, and easy to manage."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems. Its price is very nice. The other WiFi systems cost about 15% more."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"From an implementation perspective, it's easy. I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
 

Cons

"The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network."
"Sometimes, the solution needs to be restarted."
"The support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel."
"Password restriction: Sometimes we set a password and it uses that password but, after some days/months, the password gets changed and a few laptops still use old the password while a few use the new password. The password restriction option needs to improve."
"In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch."
"The solution doesn't have hotspots. Users can't set it up so that visitors can log in via Facebook or social media as they can at, for example, airports. D-Link should include hotspots that offer integration with social media. That way, visitors don't need to be asking people for passwords. They can just use Facebook."
"Sometimes we configure the SSID with a password but the same AP shows two WiFi connections with the same SSID name (one is protected by a password and another one give access without a password)."
"It would definitely help if we had more advanced features for distributing bandwidth."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"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."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no licensing fee for the solution."
"D-Link pricing is very competitive when you consider other OEMs."
"D-Link Wireless is cheaper than Ruckus or Cisco."

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

"D-Link Wireless' price is the same as Aruba's. You need to pay one-time costs for the product."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"It is very cost-effective."
"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"Its price is reasonable."
"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."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
