Huawei Wireless vs Mist AI and Cloud comparison

"At the moment, I only have experience with the on-premise deployment of Huawei Wireless, but the cloud solution looks good on paper. It looks perfect. I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods. My company has four devices running uptime for more than four years without stopping. I also like that the support for Huawei Wireless is swift, and support does precisely what you require, at least from the point of view of the technical engineer who communicated with Huawei support, as I'm more of a technical sales guy. Good technical support is vital to my company, partners, and customers. My company had this ongoing project with an ISP provider in Bulgaria that bought some routers. Still, the existing equipment was a completely different brand, so this provider wanted to migrate to Huawei Wireless and wanted help while migrating the existing infrastructure to Huawei, so the technical engineer assigned to raise the ticket with Huawei for checking and setting parameters correctly provided feedback about Huawei technical support being good quality-wise and TAT-wise. The technical engineer was also Cisco-certified and Juniper-certified and was not experienced with Huawei equipment. Still, he did mention that the Huawei Wireless router interface was straightforward, and even a person who's new to it would find it easy to configure. Huawei Wireless is user-friendly, which is another pro of the solution. It's easy to manage, and even the program language setting can be done with fewer commands than Juniper and Cisco equipment. Some of the features in Juniper need an external program, and the same features can be found in Huawei Wireless built-in, which I find remarkable."

"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."

"Installation is easy."

"It can scale."

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

"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."

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

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

"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 cost is the most valuable aspect of this solution."

"Ability to control the access points by groups."

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

"Natural language patching is an important feature."

"Mist is a really good tool that provides essential AI information from an operational point of view, covering both wireless and switching."

"Regarding features, the solution seems to be very intuitive."

"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"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."

"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."

"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."

"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."

"The solution needs to include a captive portal."

"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."

"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."

"The solution lacks documentation."

"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."

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

"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."

"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."

"If Juniper or Mist can enhance the management of third-party devices, it would make sense, as the current functionalities offer limited insight compared to managing Juniper or Mist devices."

"The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us."

"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."

"It is very cost-effective."

"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."

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

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."

"Its price is reasonable."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."

"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 price of this product is approximately the same as competing products in the market."

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

"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."

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

"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 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."
