Huawei Wireless Reviews

Huawei Wireless offers multiple features. To best suit the customer environment, I suggest centralized deployment, as opposed to distributed deployment. Through this deployment, one controller monitors all Access Points (APs), allowing the customer to establish a secure tunnel connection with the controller for maximum protection.

We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs). Additionally, we can also provide antivirus protection and content filtering for further security.

I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use.

I have been using the solution for one year.

As long as there are no loopholes in the network the solution is stable.

Huawei's scalability is rated highly in both the Forrester Wave and Gartner ratings, typically receiving a score of eight out of ten.

I have opened a number of cases concerning various issues, including wireless and Huawei router and switch deployment in another customer environment. I have received good support from the technical team in response to these cases.

The initial setup of the Huawei Wireless environment is straightforward and user-friendly. I deployed the solution in the customer environment within two or three days. After that, the customer had requirements for their success criteria of the POC, which will take another one to two weeks.

We implement the solution for our clients.

Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers.

I have personally used the Huawei Wireless Solution and deployed it in my customer environment. It has all the features needed and I would rate it an eight out of ten.

I'm currently working as a lead technical consultant, meeting with clients to understand their issues and then providing solutions such as Wi-Fi, wireless, network, and security solutions. Recently, I was able to give a comprehensive overview of a wireless solution, including details and integration with multiple products such as Cisco IOS.

We currently have three clients using the solution and have proposed the solution to several new clients.

I highly recommend Huawei products. As a distributor of Huawei in Pakistan, I can provide insight into why their products are beneficial for customers.

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.

Stable and reliable (and FAST! we have graphics department) is essential for us, old WiFi wad EOL 2 years ago.

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.

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.

I have been using Huawei Wireless for two months. I am using the latest version.

I can't say much about stability at this time. Currently, because of the pandemic, we don't have many people in the building. Normally, we have about a hundred of the devices. Having said that, everything is smooth for those couple of devices that are currently connected to the WiFi. Roaming is important for the WiFi system. Roaming means that when you connect to the WiFi network, you can go five levels up, and you are still connected. You do not need to reconnect at each level and authorize again. A channel's stability is important because if you use 2.4 gigahertz or 5 gigahertz wavelength, it is important that the access point must find the right channel. For the correct or automatic assignment, the channel must work correctly.

It is scalable in my opinion.

I have received technical support from Huawei at two levels. Technical support from the Polish reseller of Huawei could be better. Technical support directly from Huawei, not from private resellers, was good. I think currently in Europe, Huawei's technical support is in Romania, and they work fast.

Currently performance/price is very good for Huawei

I have been creating and configuring networks for about 25 years, which is a lot of time. I use the basic text interface. Therefore, it isn't a big problem for me to work on the command line. However, for new users who are used to working through GUI, it can be a problem to create the initial configuration. Huawei Wireless has a GUI interface for the configuration, but it is not similar to the text configuration. You can't create a detailed configuration through the GUI. To make some new changes or some new additions, you have to use the text interface.

My deployment was divided into two parts: hardware configuration and software configuration. For hardware deployment or configuration, I had to put access points in the right place. I had 54 access points. I also had to get the cables made for connecting access points, which took about a few weeks. After that, hanging the access points took about a few days, and the software configuration took about three weeks. The basic configuration was done in one week, but after that, we had a problem with the power injectors. Finding the solution and figuring out what's going on with our power injectors took about two weeks. Normally, it can be done in one week.

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.

Ruckus, Aruba, Extremenetworks

I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money. Huawei access controller can be located on a WiFi switch. Therefore, you do not need to buy an extra server for putting the access controller. It can go on a switch. 

I have invested in Huawei WiFi systems and their support. I won't buy WiFi systems for the next two years of using this. The software updates are very important for solid WiFi connectivity.

I would rate Huawei Wireless an eight 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.

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.

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 is a good brand for the business. 

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. 

Technical support could be better.

Huawei Wireless is very stable. However, sometimes it will overheat if it's not in a cool place. But if you have a good configuration, you won't have any problems with it.

Technical support could be better. They are difficult to reach and take about four or five hours to respond. It's only one guy here in Mexico, and he has very good knowledge about the product. Some of the documentation on the website is restricted, and we need permission to access it.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. It takes about ten minutes to install and deploy this solution.

Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace.

I would tell potential users that it all depends on the support. It's not easy to get Huawei Wireless support in Mexico.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Huawei Wireless an eight.

We primarily use it for private purposes. It provides us with WiFi for the network. 

The solution has a very long range. It's pretty powerful. I didn't need to use any mesh. 

It's stable. 

The setup is easy.

It can scale. 

The speed could be a bit better. It could offer better performance. 

I've used the solution for about two years. I haven't used it for too long. 

The solution is stable and reliable. It's fast. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

We have five or six people using the solution right now. We do not have plans to increase usage at this time. 

I've never had to contact support in the past. I haven't had any issues with it. 

I did use other solutions previously. It was a long time ago, and I can't remember which brands I used. 

The initial setup was straightforward. It didn't take too long to deploy. It only took one hour to get it up and running. I can't remember the exact process, as I did it a few years ago. 

I handled the initial setup myself, in-house. I didn't need outside assistance. 

You do not have to pay for a year subscription. It is a one-time fee. 

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

It's very fast and stable. I'd recommend the solution to others.
