Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 31, 2024

Huawei Wireless and Mist AI and Cloud are competitors in the wireless and AI-driven network solutions market. Huawei Wireless appears to have an edge with competitive pricing and ease of use, while Mist AI and Cloud stand out for advanced features like AI-driven automation and IoT integration.

Features: Huawei Wireless offers seamless roaming, robust coverage, and support for IPv6 and Wi-Fi 6, making it user-friendly and affordable with good performance. Mist AI and Cloud provide AI-driven automation, advanced troubleshooting, and tools like Marvis for efficient network operations, making them attractive to tech-savvy users.

Room for Improvement: Huawei Wireless requires better cloud management, technical support, and third-party device integration. Mist AI and Cloud face challenges with high pricing and slow integration speed, with potential improvements needed in these areas to enhance competitiveness.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is simple and easy to use."

"It can scale."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."

"We've found the solution to be quite stable."

"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."

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

"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."

"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."

"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."

"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."

"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."

"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 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."

"This solution helps customers save time and fix problems proactively."

"The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."

More Mist AI and Cloud pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"The stability could be improved."

"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."

"The scalability could be a bit better."

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

"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."

"Cloud integration needs to be improved."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."

"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."

"There are some technical issues that may require attention"

"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."

"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."

"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."

"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."

More Mist AI and Cloud cons

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.""

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

"Its price is very good. This wireless system totally costs about 30,000 euros, and some of the other solutions cost about 45,000 euros. It is a difference of 15,000 euros, which is quite a lot of money."

"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

"Its price is reasonable."

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

"I pay monthly for the solution."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The custom licensing is a little bit expensive and I would rate it 7.5 out of 10."

"I rate the pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high."

"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 price is not cheap, but it's a reliable solution and very easy for management."

"The solution is expensive in Brazil."

"Depending on the features, I think it's quite reasonably priced, especially considering the facilities of the product."

"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."
