Features: Huawei Wireless includes excellent roaming capabilities, cloud integration, and compatibility with Wi-Fi 6, enhancing speed and performance. It offers seamless handover and ease of setup and management. D-Link Wireless is noted for durability, scalability, and good signal coverage, supporting newer technologies like 5G and offering competitive speeds.

Room for Improvement: Huawei Wireless needs better technical support, improved visibility, and cloud management.

Wireless projects run smoothly with more access point support and competitive pricing

D-Link Wireless offers more supported APs to the WLC with the default license compared to other brands like Cisco. With Cisco, only four to five APs are connected with the default license, but D-Link Wireless provides more flexibility. Local support in Pakistan is necessary for those with limited budgets, creating a reach in the market.

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:

Cons

"D-Link has some catching up to do in terms of advancing and improving its technology."

"It would definitely help if we had more advanced features for distributing bandwidth."

"Sometimes, the solution needs to be restarted."

"In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch."

"The stability could be a bit better."

"The cloud managed solution needs improvement, and they should focus on the SD-WAN segment with regard to integration."

"The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network."

"Its interface and support system need much improvement. Sometimes, when we use the interface to reset the password and configure SSIDs, or some other changes, the "Save" option does not show and we have to go to some internal setting and then we can "save" the setting. The “Save” option should be in front of or below of the settings."

More D-Link Wireless cons

"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."

"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."

"The scalability could be better."

"They should include more security features in the solution."

"The manageability could be improved."

"Support could be a bit faster."

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable."

"D-Link Wireless' price is the same as Aruba's. You need to pay one-time costs for the product."

"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 is cheaper than Ruckus or Cisco."

"D-Link pricing is very competitive when you consider other OEMs."

"This solution is more affordable than others on the market."

"The cost can range from $100 to $400."

"There is no licensing fee for the solution."

"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."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."

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

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

"Its price is reasonable."

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

"The product has a good price."
