Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN vs Huawei Wireless comparison

"Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is a user-friendly solution that has good performance and stability."

"The management and upgrades are very simple and straightforward."

"The most valuable feature of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is that it is fast and does the job."

"The solution is very stable. It is a very manageable and secure system."

"The big draw is the ease of installation. It's easy to manage, and it's easy to implement."

"Its ability to be cloud-managed is the most valuable feature so if there's a reconfiguration or an issue, we have excellent visibility into the network and we can usually resolve the problem online without having to go onsite."

"The solution is easy to use."

"The most important feature is flexibility."

"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."

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

"The solution is easy to set up."

"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."

"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"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."

"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."

"Cisco Meraki must improve the integration between its own family of products."

"It would be better if they enable full integration with Cisco's cloud-based network in the next release."

"We would like the solution to work on the pricing of the solution. It would be ideal if it could bring the overall costs down."

"The licensing model is a terrible idea."

"The initial setup was simple. However, the full deployment could be easier."

"When it comes to switching, Meraki lacks categories of features."

"An area for improvement would be that Meraki doesn't work well in a warehouse environment. The device is too sensitive to other wireless devices, which provokes noise and can require a reboot to erase this."

"It would be good to integrate with ISE in the future."

"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."

"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."

"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."

"I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior."

"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."

"The speed could be a bit better."

"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."

"It could be more affordable than other solutions."

"It is expensive, but it is a good product."

"The tool is reasonably priced."

"It's a pretty good value, but not great. Pricing is on a yearly basis for the Meraki solution."

"It is a relatively expensive solution compared to traditional network alternatives."

"Meraki is a very good solution, but the price is quite high for small markets."

"The price of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is per unit and it has annual maintenance costs."

"Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is expensive."

"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."

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

"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."

"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."

"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."

"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
