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.

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

"Installation is easy."
"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."
"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
"It provides high-speed network connections."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."
"The most useful aspect of Mist AI and Cloud is automation capabilities."
"Multi PSK (Pre-shared Key) is a very good feature in the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."
"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."
"This solution helps customers save time and fix problems proactively."
"AI-driven automation helps implement the solution quickly."
"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."
"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."
 

Cons

"The solution could be easier to use."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"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 technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"Technical support could be better."
"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."
"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"The stability needs improvement because in many places in Delhi, it intermittently goes down due to temperature and noise in the switches."
"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."
"Regarding opportunities for improvement in Mist, it is notable for its robust cloud portal and integration of artificial intelligence into various services, creating a highly efficient environment for work. However, a drawback lies in the cost associated with its WiFi offerings. With a pricing range of twelve hundred to fifteen hundred dollars for a single Access Point, exclusive of the subscription, it is acknowledged as a relatively expensive solution in the realm of WiFi services. Despite this drawback, the positive attributes of Mist make it a noteworthy option."
"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."
"Configuration could be improved."
"The area for improvement is that Juniper is not as market dominant as Cisco, so they should focus on making their GUI more user-friendly, as it is currently a bit complex and users may not fully understand the available features."
"There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."
"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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.""
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"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."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"The price of this product is approximately the same as competing products in the market."
"Mist AI and Cloud is expensive."
"The custom licensing is a little bit expensive and I would rate it 7.5 out of 10."
"The solution is expensive in Brazil."
"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."
"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 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."
