Huawei Wireless Reviews

The solution provides cloud-based learning. You need to subscribe. There's no charge for this. Most cloud solutions are about how possible those devices you understand online and things like that.

If you can, add what this project is doing, and you can include the Portal. On the interface of the access points, then you can include the host ones.

The technical support from Huawei Wireless is generally good due to its efficiency and effectiveness. Additionally, we have a dedicated data center where we utilize specific tools and resources Huawei provides. 

Neutral

The initial setup is easy. You can even integrate it with your existing network. So, the vendor is trying to make this easier for the user experience.

The solution is expensive, but it competes in the market.

Huawei is good. They have been in the market for long. It's user-friendly compared to Cisco. We can configure devices more friendly.

Huawei Wireless provides access management control, eliminating the need for additional license agreements to access devices. It includes an inbuilt radio server, which can enhance its functionality.

I work for a company that produces devices, and you would need to use Huawei products, especially in Nigeria, due to factors such as performance, efficiency, support, and cost.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Actually, we sell the solution to enterprise customers and government entities. So they are using it for their employees, for their Internet connection. So they are using it for their employees, for their internet connection.

My customers care about a lot of features. So, first of all, the wireless coverage, and secondly, the security. The security makes it secure enough. Also, it can be used to have multiple profiles or VLANs, to create multiple profiles for the users.

The quality of Huawei Wireless is also a good feature since it supports ac and AX, which are the new standards for IEEE.

The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks. Mist, on the other hand, offers good support. So, Huawei somehow has room for improvement in the area of support.

It's a long journey, so I have used Huawei Wireless for over ten to twelve years. Though I am a seller of wireless solutions and firewalls, my company has a partnership with Huawei.

If someone wants my suggestion for a wireless solution, and if that person is looking for new features, then Huawei Wireless is a liability. I would tell that person to go for something like Juniper, especially since Juniper has AI features and since it's cloud-based. Huawei Wireless, not performance-wise, but sometimes it hangs.

It is a scalable product. It is the same as Cisco or Fortinet. But again, it's a matter of the performance itself, considering the reliability.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a six to seven out of ten.

I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

Positive

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. Regarding the customer experience after installation, taking into consideration the same aforementioned factors on a scale of one to ten, I rate it a six.

Speaking of the time taken for deployment, I would say the solution is controller-based, not ad hoc. The configuration is done centrally by the controller. Regarding deployment, it is not a matter of days since it depends on the number of access points. Specifically, if you are talking about something with more than forty to fifty access points, then it will take two to three days, and if more than that, it will take more days.

One technician and one engineer are needed for deployment.

Price-wise, they are trying to improve since they are going very fast with the research and development to improve speed. So, they are really good. But, I mean, they're trying to cope with the main leaders like Cisco and Ruckus. I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. The solution is on the expensive side.

I would tell those planning to use the solution to go for a PoC and to see whether it's for their requirement or not because Huawei, in large environments with large numbers of users, may have some issues, but in smaller environments, it will work fine. So if you are able to do a PoC, I would recommend going with it or trying it. Though I'm not a technical guy, I'm hearing from the technical team that there are certain features that you have to configure well regarding speed, rate limit, and all the stuff. So you have to take care of it. Also, you need to take care regarding the country and its regulations along with the dBi for the antenna and increase the values to satisfy customers.

Huawei Wireless has some issues compared to the other vendors in terms of stability and customer experience. Also, the number of tickets in Huawei is more than many other vendors like Juniper or Cisco.

I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

In offices, warehouses and auditoriums, we have tested Huawei APs in different environments always covering and connecting to the devices

It allows Wi-Fi connections to always be active and there are no interruptions.
No complaints from users

Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology. It has been a great experience because of its good performance in terms of coverage. 

Huawei Wireless's could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes.

I have been using Huawei Wireless for four years.

I rate the product's stability a nine out of ten.

We have 80 Huawei Wireless users in our office. I rate its scalability a ten out of ten.

Meraki, definitely the coverage is the best

The product generates a good return on investment.

The product has a good price. I rate its pricing a ten out of ten.

Huawei's solution is just what is needed for WiFi connectivity, good coverage and no losses. I rate Huawei Wireless a ten out of ten.

The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use.

I have used Huawei Wireless for approximately three years.

Huawei Wireless is a liable solution.

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 technical support is good from Huawei Wireless.

I have used Cisco solutions previously. I have found Cisco to have better durability than Huawei Wireless. However, the price of Huawei Wireless is less expensive and has better coverage.

The initial implementation of Huawei Wireless is not complex.

The price of Huawei Wireless is very good.

I rate Huawei Wireless a nine out of ten.

I do not recall which version we are using. 

I utilize the solution for personal internet use, on the Ethernet. 

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

I have been using Huawei Wireless for the past couple of years.

The solution is stable. 

I am not in a position to comment on the solution's scalability. 

I do not have plans to increase the usage, as I do not see a need for this. 

We have not been in contact with technical support. 

I did not use other solutions prior to the current one. 

Installation is easy. We are not talking about a one-click installation for all. Once installed, a person can configure the solution to his needs. 

I was not involved in hardware installation and have no knowledge of it. This is not handled by me, but by the technicians who visit the site. When it comes to installing software, this we can do on our own by following the instructions. 

The technical team required for the deployment depends on the service provider. 

While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would glad if it were cheaper. 

Extras come with a surcharge, although, as I have not made use of these, I cannot comment on their prices. 

Overall, I am satisfied with the solution. 

I would recommend it to others. My advice would vary with the personal use one wishes to make of the solution. 

I rate Huawei Wireless as a nine out of ten. 

I am deploying the product across the country. It’s for campus Wi-Fi needs. We have switches, wireless controllers, and firewalls.

I like the setup. The product is simple and easy to use.

The stability could be improved.

I am using the solution currently.

I rate the tool’s stability an eight out of ten.

The tool is scalable. We have over 1000 users. We have three to four engineers in our technical team.

The setup is easy. It is easier for certified personnel or someone with experience deploying the product. The deployment process depends on our requirements.

I recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

My company had deployed the tool for one of the companies operating in the financial sector in the past, and they had no complaints about the product. The past use case of the product showcases its reliability.

Our company currently deals with a customer who wants to switch from Huawei products provided by some vendors, so we are trying to find the closest solution to Huawei.

Our company deals with Huawei Wireless to fulfill our customers' requirements. Customers worry about the prices since products from Huawei are made available in the market at a much higher price than those of its competitors. One of our customers wants to migrate to a cheaper product from Huawei. Even though another vendor approached our company's customers and quoted a different price, they still found it to be a very costly product. Due to our company's customer's request to migrate from Huawei to some other product, our company is forced to look at other products, like Ruckus and Aruba. My company has dealt with the deployment phase of 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. The aforementioned area needs to be considered for improvement.

I have experience with Huawei Wireless.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution.

The technical support offered by Huawei is awesome. I have already worked with Huawei's technical team, and it is great. Though the technical team takes time, they are very prompt to respond. As my company only deals with the technical support offered from China, there are some language barriers our company deals with currently.

I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.

Positive

Against Huawei Wireless, my company considers products like Aruba and Ruckus. H3C is also one of Huawei Wireless's competitors in the local market.

My company receives local support to deal with Huawei Wireless's deployment phase.

Apart from price-related issues, the product is excellent.

Huawei Wireless is user-friendly and easy to deploy, and the support and after-sale support matter. So we are very comfortable with the support.

Huawei has its own research and development team across the globe with a good technical network, cloud, and storage, making its management excellent. Huawei offers a big portfolio.

I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.

I have successfully designed and installed the Huawei Wireless product portfolio on a big university campus wireless network project.

The entire campus (students, administration, the project team, and purchase team) was very happy with this particular product.

Whatever our goal is, they are performing.

You can add a lot of features, such as cloud, integration with IoT, etc. They have a lot of options available but the top feature is the performance. 

The throughput and speed of the wireless is good.

Huawai has been successfully introduced to the IPv6 access point.

Huawei has a bit of a gap in the SMB segment. Apart from the enterprise and big customers, you have also very big market in India for the small- and medium-class businesses (SMBs) and Huawei Wireless could adapt to these smaller businesses. SMB IT procurement is almost 40 to 45 percent of the business happening. I would recommend for Huawei to introduce some SMB product line because Cisco and Aruba, which are very big organizations, already have very good SMB product portfolios. Very recently, Aruba introduced one product portfolio called Aruba Instant On. That is completely designed for the SMB product portfolio and requirements. While there is not much in the feature set, it can meet the daily needs of a small home office, enterprise, or hospitality industry, then be position with very aggressive pricing. These Cisco and Aruba products also work with clustering and can be managed by apps. In addition, Aruba has a future roadmap they manage with some cloud-based authentication and best positioning. They will be introducing this features very soon.

I would like to see Network Access Control (NAC) features going forward.

I have been working on this product for around two years.

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 initial setup was easy. They have a discovery protocol if your license is properly installed. 

Initially, I did have one problem. The shipped access point was not updated. That is why we had to update every access point.

It was a big campus (seven acres), so a lot of manpower was required. It took almost one week to deploy. We had a team who did things like cable deploying. Two or three engineers were involved for the wireless configuration and product installation.

You can purchase an additional switch with an additional switch. That is a good milestone.

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 have a lot of experience with Cisco and Aruba too. If you compare this product with Cisco and Aruba, the three products are almost the same performise-wise. However, the accessories for this product are better than Cisco or Aruba.

Cisco support is fabulous, even though you have to pay for it. However, our customers are willing to pay for it. Huawei needs to improve its local support in comparison, especially there is a need for expert initial support.

The on-premise solution is a very good product. They are working on the latest technology.

I don't have much experience with their cloud based solution.

I would rate the solution as an eight (out of 10).
