Huawei Wireless Reviews

I am using Huawei Wireless for WiFi access in my home.

The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity.

The solution could be easier to use.

I have been using Huawei Wireless for years.

Using the support was a good experience.

I tried other solutions but they were not very stable.

The setup of the solution was simple. It took approximately one hour. The setup can be done by one person.

My ISP come to my house and installed the solution.

Huawei Wireless was a good investment.

I pay monthly for the solution.

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.

We use the solution for wireless connectivity.

Lately, we replaced all the wired end users with the WiFi access points, so we actually use full WiFi access points and LAN in our company.

The features are very good.

The WiFi and wireless connectivity are great.

It is easy to set up.

Our wireless is stable and reliable. 

We can scale the solution. 

Support could be a bit faster. 

We've been using the solution for more than ten years now. 

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The solution can scale as needed. 

We have many clients on the solution right now. About 200 to 300 clients are buying Huawei's product from us. 

our tech team deals with technical support for clients. They are quite satisfied with help if they need to get any. Of course, we could get a better response time and they could be faster. 

Neutral

We always use Huawei products. They are the best.

The solution's setup is straightforward and simple. It is not overly complex or difficult. 

It's quick to deploy and we can do anywhere from ten to 50 access points in one day.

The pricing is good. They offer advanced and pro plans as well as ultimate. There are three licensing tiers clients can choose from. We are using advanced licensing. 

I have a very good experience with this product, so I'm very satisfied with it. Users should give it a try.

I'd rate it a seven out of ten.

Huawei Wireless is used for networking. We use it for a university.

All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless.

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

I have been using Huawei Wireless for approximately three years.

Huawei Wireless is stable.

We have approximately 800 users on our campus and the WiFi from Huawei Wireless is working fine.

Their technical support is very good from Huawei Wireless. They respond on time when giving feedback. They quickly solve problems if there is one.

We have five years of support service from Huawei Wireless in our contract. They are actively engaged in our system and they diagnose anything to see if they can find an issue.

The initial setup of Huawei Wireless was easy.

We have the SLA with Huawei, and Huawei engages its technical team. They are deployed as resident engineers in our university and solve problems because we pay them in the contract.

We have a team of 10 working on Huawei Wireless.

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

My advice to others is if you are going to choose Huawei Wireless, you need to check the quality of the solution. There are some issues with the strength of signals, it can get weak without any reason. If we compare this with the Cisco solutions, they do not have this issue.

I rate Huawei Wireless an eight 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. 

We primarily use the product for wireless connections for the staff and students on campus. Both of them use it and there is a university hospital as well, which is also covered by the solution.

The quality of the product is quite good. 

Stability-wise, it's perfect, as, previously, we had a very old Cisco solution, and we were having some issues. Now, in terms of performance and bandwidth, it's pretty good.

The stability and reliability are good.

The solution is easy to set up.

We have some high-traffic areas, such as auditoriums, and they had high-density APs available. It's been working well.

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

We just deployed it. We replaced an old solution. This is the WiFi 6 solution from Huawei. It's been around eight months since deployment was completed.

The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It works very well. It doesn't crash. It's reliable and the performance is very good. So far, we have not received any complaints or any faulty hardware or anything. At the moment, everything is good.

This solution is covering the whole campus. We have a large deployment of around, I would say, 5,000 APs, or probably a little bit more.

At the moment, it's just a new deployment. We covered the area that was not covered earlier, for example. In that respect, we've covered all of the scalability options. Maybe in the future, there may be some requirements, however, at the moment, there is no plan to expand usage.

Technical support could be better. It's not ideal right now. They are pretty slow to respond. We're not completely satisfied with the level of support on offer.

We replaced Cisco with this solution. It was a very old solution. Something like 10 years ago Cisco was implemented and it needed to be replaced. This Huawei solution is based on WiFi 6, which is the latest protocol available for WiFi.

In terms of the initial setup, it wasn't that hard at all. We know the technology, so it wasn't that difficult for us. I wouldn't describe the process as complex. 

It's a campus network. It's a live network. We had some limitations, for example, working only in the nighttime. It took us a while to finish this project due to the fact that, number one, it was a huge undertaking. Also, there were some access issues. There are hundreds of buildings that we covered. Sometimes, therefore, we had physical access issues. There were some delays. It took us around four to five months to complete this project.

We are a Huawei partner and an integrator.

We are using the latest version of the solution.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

University 3500 users

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.

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 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.
