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.

Pros

"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."

"At the moment, I only have experience with the on-premise deployment of Huawei Wireless, but the cloud solution looks good on paper. It looks perfect. I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods. My company has four devices running uptime for more than four years without stopping. I also like that the support for Huawei Wireless is swift, and support does precisely what you require, at least from the point of view of the technical engineer who communicated with Huawei support, as I'm more of a technical sales guy. Good technical support is vital to my company, partners, and customers. My company had this ongoing project with an ISP provider in Bulgaria that bought some routers. Still, the existing equipment was a completely different brand, so this provider wanted to migrate to Huawei Wireless and wanted help while migrating the existing infrastructure to Huawei, so the technical engineer assigned to raise the ticket with Huawei for checking and setting parameters correctly provided feedback about Huawei technical support being good quality-wise and TAT-wise. The technical engineer was also Cisco-certified and Juniper-certified and was not experienced with Huawei equipment. Still, he did mention that the Huawei Wireless router interface was straightforward, and even a person who's new to it would find it easy to configure. Huawei Wireless is user-friendly, which is another pro of the solution. It's easy to manage, and even the program language setting can be done with fewer commands than Juniper and Cisco equipment. Some of the features in Juniper need an external program, and the same features can be found in Huawei Wireless built-in, which I find remarkable."

"It has all of the features that we need."

"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."

"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."

"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."

"The product is simple and easy to use."

"Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"The main advantage of Ubiquiti WLAN is the network management. The whole concept has one complete range of products from end to end, with very basic and effective management systems. That's a key benefit in my mind. But the main thing is that it's so competitive—far more competitive than the other leading American brands."

"The solution is not complex to deploy."

"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."

"Great management interface."

"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."

"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."

"I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable."

Cons

"The solution needs to include a captive portal."

"Support could be a bit faster."

"The stability could be improved."

"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."

"Technical support could be better."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."

"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."

"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."

"The room for improvement is in the controller levels."

"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."

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

"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."

"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."

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

"Extras come with a surcharge."

"It is very cost-effective."

"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."

"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."

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

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"The tool's price is good and falls somewhere in the middle."

"There is no licensing cost for this solution."

"There is a license required for this solution."
