Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."
"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac."
"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."
"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Mist is a really good tool that provides essential AI information from an operational point of view, covering both wireless and switching."
"The tool's best part is the GUI. It is user-friendly and fast due to AI features. The solution can help you fix things with AI, which is impressive."
"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."
"AI-driven automation helps implement the solution quickly."
"Natural language patching is an important feature."
"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. Sometimes it's a hassle to work with wires, which is why wireless is so convenient."
"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."
 

Cons

"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 have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."
"As such, there are no problems. It has been good. There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product. We had to make some improvements in the network design. The product as such is fine, and there are no big issues. We are using the latest version having most of the features available in the industry, so the specs are very high. If something new comes up new in the industry, it needs to be incorporated into the product."
"Price is one of the major problems of the solution, and because of this, our company's customers want to migrate to some other product from Huawei."
"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."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"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."
"Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it."
"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."
"There are many aspects of AI, and how acquisitions are proceeding, particularly between Juniper and Aruba, remains unclear."
"The support needs improvement. Since the merger or integration between Mist AI and Cloud and HP, it has affected service quality negatively."
"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"The custom licensing is a little bit expensive and I would rate it 7.5 out of 10."
"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."
"Mist AI and Cloud is expensive."
"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."
"I rate the pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high."
"Depending on the features, I think it's quite reasonably priced, especially considering the facilities of the product."
"The solution is expensive in Brazil."
"The price is not cheap, but it's a reliable solution and very easy for management."
