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

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

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

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

"We've found the solution to be quite stable."

"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."

"You can add a lot of features, such as cloud, integration with IoT, etc. They have a lot of options available but the top feature is the performance."

"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."

"Installation is easy."

More Huawei Wireless pros

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

"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."

"Great management interface."

"The solution has a lot of great features."

"The most beneficial thing about Ubiquiti is that it is simple to deploy."

"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."

"All of the interfacing is very good."

Cons

"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."

"The solution could be easier to use."

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

"Technical support could be better."

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

"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."

"The stability could be improved."

"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."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"The product must provide better warranties."

"The coverage could be increased."

"I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment."

"It does require some maintenance from my side, including troubleshooting and fixing occasionally."

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

"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."

"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 downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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.""

"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions. It has one of the most competitive prices out there."

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

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."

"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven 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."

"It is very cost-effective."

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"The tool's price is very friendly."
