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…

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

"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology."
"It can scale."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"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."
"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product."
"The solution is scalable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."
"All of the interfacing is very good."
"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."
"Ubiquiti is affordable, as it does not require recurring licensing fees."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."
"The manageability could be improved."
"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"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."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"The product has a good price."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"Its price is reasonable."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"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."
"This product is more cost-effective than some others on the market."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is less expensive than Ruckus, but its price could be improved to make it more affordable and accessible."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
