Huawei Wireless vs Juniper WLC Series comparison

"What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas."

"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."

"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."

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

"Installation is easy."

"The solution offers very good value for money."

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

"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."

"It is a very stable solution."

"Allows end users to roam the office and be productive wireless without being plugged into an Ethernet cable."

"There weren't any scalability issues, the product did what it had to do."

"The installation process is nice and easy."

"It's easy to set up, and I feel it's very secure. I also prefer its reporting feature. The devices are quite good."

"Juniper WLC Series is a very high-performance device designed for indoor wireless deployment."

"The AI integration with Marvis is very valuable."

"Customer service is very good, and they have very experienced engineers on the site I worked on."

"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."

"Support could be a bit faster."

"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."

"The security of the solution could be better in the future."

"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."

"The solution needs to include a captive portal."

"The manageability could be improved."

"The scalability could be better."

"In my region, access to the product is very difficult and presents a logistical nightmare. Also, pricing is a big problem and a barrier to entry when selling Juniper against competitors."

"The biggest issue was that Juniper stopped developing, so we had to look for another solution."

"The support on offer to other vendors switching - like Aruba or Ruckus - could be improved."

"The solution should create configuration documentation."

"There could be a high level of security."

"Juniper lacks a network access control agent similar to solutions like Alubakya Path and Cisco ISE."

"We would prefer it if the solution could be less expensive."

"The solution could offer more integration with other products."

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

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."

"I pay monthly for the solution."

"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."

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

"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."

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

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

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

"The product is relatively affordable for enterprise companies."

"The licensing cost is quite high, but considering it's an enterprise solution, the complexity justifies the price."

"There is a certain amount that needs to be paid towards the licensing charges associated with the product, but though I am not sure, I feel the licenses that we have in our company are for three years."

"Juniper WLC Series is a bit pricey but worth its cost."
