ExtremeWireless vs Huawei Wireless comparison

"The wireless security solution is the most valuable feature of ExtremeWireless."

"The security is very good."

"The most valuable feature is the cloud-managed aspect."

"The initial setup was easy."

"ExtremeWireless offers profiles, policies, and tags."

"The customer service and support provided by Extreme are excellent."

"I like Cloud IQ, ExtremeWireless' cloud controller and analytics platform. It's full of information, easy to use, and provides excellent visibility into my network."

"The central control is valuable."

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

"The solution is easy to set up."

"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."

"I think it's a good technology. I like that it transparently connects with LDAP. The technology has a lot of capacity for WiFi six. It provides notifications, and there are many ways to connect with fiber. There is an electrical tool, and you can put an SFP transceiver. There are also many ways to implement antennas."

"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."

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

"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."

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

"They could provide different product models. Additionally, there could be a feature to manage devices."

"It is a subscription model, so it is maybe a bit pricey."

"The ExtremeWireless WiNG Access Point on-premise is not as good as the cloud and many of my customers are switching. It is easier for my clients to manage everything from the cloud. I currently use a model of the controller that does not support any cloud functionality."

"The troubleshooting feature for the cloud version is challenging."

"The solution must include integrated IoT solutions on their wireless APs."

"The user interface of ExtremeWireless could be better. It is not user-friendly."

"The current product line is very high-level and is well suited for enterprise-level organizations, but they need a more cost-effective solution for smaller businesses."

"I experienced issues during firmware upgrades, as some devices required a physical restart, which affects system stability."

"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."

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

"The scalability could be a bit better."

"The solution needs to include a captive portal."

"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved."

"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."

"Support could be a bit faster."

"What needs improvement in Huawei Wireless is after-sales support. I've faced many after-sales support issues, so that's the area I want Huawei to improve. Having an SLA with customers is what I'd suggest to Huawei Wireless."

"We pay approximately $30,000 per year."

"I rate the price of Extreme Wireless a three out of five."

"The price of the solution overall is expensive. Additionally, the controller and license are expensive. We pay for an annual subscription."

"I rate the product's pricing a three or four out of ten."

"ExtremeWireless isn't budget-friendly. The hardware costs around 20,000 Indian rupees. We're still using an older controller, so it doesn't require a license, unlike the newest versions of the ExtremeWireless controller."

"The solution has a yearly subscription, and we have to pay additional costs for technical support."

"The purchase of 350 access points cost approximately $250,000 USD."

"Our access points device is at its end of life. I can buy one more and then I must buy a new device, but if it is a new device it will not support the old virtual appliance. I would need to upgrade our virtual appliance to the next version or build a new virtual appliance with new devices, and it's not good for us. The overall licensing subscription could be better."

"The product has a good price."

"Extras come with a surcharge."

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

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."

"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."

"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."

"I pay monthly for the solution."

"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."
