Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Installation is easy."
"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."
"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"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."
"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"AI-driven automation helps implement the solution quickly."
"Mist is a really good tool that provides essential AI information from an operational point of view, covering both wireless and switching."
"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."
"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."
"Mist AI and Cloud is the best solution I have seen in the industry, especially from the artificial intelligence perspective, as it helps businesses."
"The most valuable aspect is that they operate on small microservices, offering numerous open APIs that enhance the value of our Wi-Fi network. This flexibility allows us to optimize various aspects such as workforce planning and occupancy management. The platform is highly open in the market, providing robust APIs for seamless integration with other tools. Currently, we leverage these capabilities at a building site, incorporating IoT sensors to gather data. The collected data is stored in a centralized location, and we plan to use AI for analysis. This analysis will include insights on peak activity times, humidity levels, temperature variations, and other relevant metrics within the building."
"Has an extremely good feature set."
 

Cons

"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"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 manageability could be improved."
"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."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"The speed could be a bit better."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"The support needs improvement. Since the merger or integration between Mist AI and Cloud and HP, it has affected service quality negatively."
"There seems to be different versions of standards used in the wireless access points. In the future, it would be helpful if the solution could come up with some kind of universal standard for all devices and all access points."
"In future releases, they need to add some router models. Because currently, it supports only SSR and WAN routers. But adding other routers would be good."
"If there's one thing I'd like to change, it's the pricing. They are quite expensive, but honestly, it's justified by the value they provide. However, for a simple Wi-Fi connectivity with basic security needs, there are alternatives in the market that offer comparable features at a more budget-friendly price."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."
"The price of Mist AI and Cloud is approximately 20 percent less than competitors, such as Aruba and Cisco. However, Cisco has a lifetime warranty for its solutions."
"The price of this product is approximately the same as competing products in the market."
"The price is about the same compared to other vendors. There is an add-on license, but it's up to you if you want to buy it or not."
"Depending on the features, I think it's quite reasonably priced, especially considering the facilities of the product."
"The annual cost is a significant issue for us, and it notably contributes to the overall price. We have a customer with nearly fifty-eight access points in a multifunctional building, and while the setup was relatively simple, the yearly licensing cost is substantial. For the specific features we utilize, the licensing amounts to about forty thousand euros annually. This is not a trivial expense and significantly impacts the overall cost, making it quite high."
"The solution is expensive in Brazil."
"The custom licensing is a little bit expensive and I would rate it 7.5 out of 10."
"The solution's price is too high for the end-users. My customers pay 1,000 USD towards the licensing cost of the solution every year."
