Fahad Doguwa - PeerSpot reviewer
Deputy Manager at Central Bank of Nigeria
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.
Mohammed Junaid Khatib - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Has improved troubleshooting efficiency with AI-driven insights but requires a simpler user interface
Mist AI and Cloud has integrated artificial intelligence and introduced a Marvis tool, making troubleshooting much easier compared to Cisco, Extreme, or any other vendor. The Marvis tool includes Marvis Action and Marvis Mini. In Marvis Mini, you can enter the MAC address, site name, or device name to get complete details of any issues the device is facing. If you enter the MAC address of a device, it will show the types of issues such as roaming, authentication, or IP address problems. This eliminates the need to manually search for errors on the controller. The troubleshooting has been significantly simplified through Marvis Mini, which is integrated with AI. Additionally, Marvis Action helps with alerting and monitoring, showing how many devices are down and what kinds of connectivity, DHCP, or authentication issues exist, providing alerts without the need to manually monitor all devices. Mist AI and Cloud is very effective at managing user experience through its AI capabilities. It helps reduce downtime by providing alerts that allow us to work directly on issues without waiting for system failures.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions and it has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."
"I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods."
"Overall, I am satisfied with the solution."
"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."
"The handover is seamless whenever the users connect to the access point."
"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."
"The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."
"If you compare wired versus wireless, it's convenient, you don't need to have one place for connectivity, you can move around and it's easier, and sometimes it's a hassle to work with wires, which is why wireless is so convenient."
"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."
"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."
"Real-time management of events and resources is excellent, making it the best in the market, which is why Juniper is highly ranked in the Gartner ratings."
"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."
"It's a stable product, we don't have any major issues with it."
 

Cons

"Technical support could be better."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"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."
"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"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."
"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."
"There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product."
"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."
"Overall, I am not too happy with Mist Access Points."
"Configuration could be improved."
"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."
"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."
"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."
"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."
"The solution lacks documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
