Configuration offers flexibility but response to incidents needs improvement
We recommend using WatchGuard Secure Wi-Fi, but when incidents occur, it can be very difficult to identify why they happen. Normally, the issues are simple to fix, but we recently faced a major incident. We are still trying to identify the cause, which is why I would rate it seven out of ten. Without this incident, I might have rated it eight to nine. Overall, I give the solution a rating of seven.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"The product is easy to use, the signal is very stable with very good performance, and for network devices it is great."
"The handover is seamless whenever the users connect to the access point."
"It is easy to set up."
"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."
"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."
"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"Overall, I am satisfied with the solution."
"It makes it easy to obtain all information about the client experience."
"The solution is priced high compared to competitors, however, for the features that are included in the solution, the price becomes more reasonable."
"Cloud analytics that provide all its attributes."
"The configuration part of WatchGuard is very flexible."
"We like that WatchGuard works and integrates directly with the firewalls we use."
"If I were tasked to set up new WiFi at a single site, or at multiple locations for hundreds of sites, I would make this solution my first choice."
"The Wi-Fi security features of this solution have been great for our customers who need to strictly control access to their network."
"The solution has been stable."
 

Cons

"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."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product."
"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."
"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"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."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"The solution can be scaled but it has limitations from my experience. The access points are rated for 500 people but I think the max is closer to 200."
"The price of this solution needs to reviewed, as it is currently high enough to deter customers from trying it."
"I don't think they're available at the best price."
"If a client device had issues with authentication due to out of date browser or similar difficulties, it would be nice to have the ability to migrate the client onto the portal via one click."
"In terms of improvement, one issue I have is that I can't import a user with one click."
"The support response can be time-consuming because sometimes issues are very sensitive and require instant attention."
"Inability to import a user with one click."
"One of the things is if you buy it with a certain subscription, you can't easily change the subscription level."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Its price is reasonable."
"It is very cost-effective."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"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.""
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"The solution is priced high compared to competitors. However, for the features that are included in the solution, the price becomes more reasonable."
"Your licensing and cost, as would be required for many other solutions, being considered for eighty to two hundred and eighty different physical locations, is just about the same amount per access point."
"WatchGuard is on the upper scale for pricing."
