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

"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."

"The most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems. Its price is very nice. The other WiFi systems cost about 15% more."

"The product is simple and easy to use."

"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."

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

"Their technical support is very good from Huawei Wireless. They respond on time when giving feedback."

"The solution is very stable; there are no bugs or glitches, it works very well, it does not crash, and the performance is very good, and so far we have not received any complaints or any faulty hardware or anything."

"It is easy to set up."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"Mist AI is a very powerful feature. Juniper is the only company that has introduced AI into networking."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."

"I have completed over twenty projects using Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points, and I continue to see exceptional performance in the areas of user capacity, user experience, and user satisfaction."

"The simplicity is great."

"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points save considerable time compared to legacy vendors such as Cisco, Ubiquiti, or Cambium, which require extensive troubleshooting."

"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."

Cons

"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."

"The scalability could be better."

"The solution needs to include a captive portal."

"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."

"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use."

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

"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."

"The solution could be easier to use."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"The price could be better."

"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."

"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 product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."

"Juniper needs to improve the hardware quality of Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points."

"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."

"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."

"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."

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."

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

"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."

"The product has a good price."

"We don't have any control on the pricing. This comes from Huawei in India. Pricing-wise, Huawei is very aggressive and competitive if you compare them to competitors, like Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus. The Indian Huawei team tells us, "Just pick up the order and design the infrastructure. If there are any pricing challenge, we'll work on that and we will try to match things 100 percent.""

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

"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."

"Its price is reasonable."

"If a customer has a budget of around five lakhs in Indian currency, they can afford Juniper products."

"The pricing is fair."

"I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."

"The pricing is too high."

"Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."

"The solution is expensive."

"The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."

"We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."
