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.

AI insights have improved wireless visibility and now proactively prevent network issues
I am somewhat uncertain about the room for improvement for Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points because I am sure that some concepts will be incorporated in the future. Recently, HP acquired Juniper, and now under the HP umbrella, we have both Aruba and Juniper Mist, which raises questions about how to compete in the market. Customers often ask me to compare them, and I have to pitch both even though they are from the same organization. Regarding gaps for improvement for Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points, I think pricing is a complicated issue since Cisco can drastically reduce prices, unlike Juniper.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"It is easy to set up."
"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"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."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"It's well-detailed in terms of troubleshooting logs."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points provide seamless connectivity with the lowest latency, making it feel as if your device is connected through a wire."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"The solution is very secure."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The simplicity is great."
"Mist AI is a very powerful feature. Juniper is the only company that has introduced AI into networking."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
 

Cons

"The solution could be easier to use."
"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
"The scalability could be better."
"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use. As a partner, you can use the solution for free, for thirty days, for example. On paper, everything looks fine, but you have to get permission and explain why you want to download the software, even if it's just for demo purposes. I don't get why I have to do this as a partner and still give an explanation that this would be for a demo setup. Downloading the solution isn't a click-and-install process that should go smoothly and efficiently. You have to get a lot of approvals and explain a lot, and in the end, you find out that you received the approval for one piece of software. It looks like you need additional software to use the software. My company asked for approval and received the approval three days later, but you need to install another software to use some of the features. In the past, most features were separate. Because Huawei wants a single pane of glass where all features should work with the Huawei equipment, Huawei decided to combine everything into the iMaster NCE Campus, which incorporates every other cloud solution. However, you still have to ask for approval for every piece of software, and without clear information on the features, the type of software, and the software files required, it's not so good from my point of view."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."
"The price could be better."
"The solution is expensive."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"I suggest that the AI tool in the Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points needs to be a little bit more ChatGPT-like, allowing easier communication in normal language instead of requiring specific prompts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions. It has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"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 Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"I rate the product price as a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is expensive. It is a reasonably priced tool."
"The pricing is too high."
"The pricing is fair."
"If a customer has a budget of around five lakhs in Indian currency, they can afford Juniper products."
