Easy to configure with good technical support and good stability
Pros and Cons
  • "We've found the solution to be quite stable."
  • "The scalability could be a bit better."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution at home. We primarily use the solution for internet use.

What is most valuable?

The product is easy to use. 

The signal is very stable and it offers very good performance. For network devices it is great.

The most important aspect of the solution is that it is cheap. It beats solutions at a higher cost.

We've found the solution to be quite stable.

The scalability is okay.

The speed of the product is pretty good.

I've found that the configuration is quite simple to handle.

Technical support has always been quite helpful.

The initial setup is very easy and the deployment is very fast.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for about five years or so at this point. It's been a while.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is very good. The features support Wi-Fi 6 and it is using very stable technology.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is okay. If a company needs to expand, it can do so with relative ease. It shouldn't give you any trouble. However, they could always make it a bit better and even more scalable.

I simply use it at home for personal usage. I don't have a need to scale it out too much.

How are customer service and technical support?

The solution is a local brand and we have local support, It's quite good. I find support to be better than Cisco, to be honest. I'm quite satisfied with the level of service they provide to us.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I also have experience with Cisco.

Both are good brands and good network device providers. Huawei may be the one to choose based on the requirements and based on the bandwidth. Different providers have different costs and a few different features. However, both brands are okay and are good.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was not complex. It was pretty straightforward. It's very easy. A company shouldn't have any issue with the process.

The deployment took less than half an hour.

What about the implementation team?

I handled the implementation myself. I did not need a consultant or integrator.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing of the solution is excellent. It's much cheaper than the competition. The pricing is a great selling point.

I don't pay for licensing. I just pay for the device.

What other advice do I have?

We are just a customer and an end-user. 

We are using the latest version of the solution.

I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations.

I'd rate the product at an eight out of ten. We're mostly quite happy with the product, especially the excellent pricing.

Good speed and mobility, good interfaces, and user friendly
Pros and Cons
  • "It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."
  • "As such, there are no problems. It has been good. There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product. We had to make some improvements in the network design. The product as such is fine, and there are no big issues. We are using the latest version having most of the features available in the industry, so the specs are very high. If something new comes up new in the industry, it needs to be incorporated into the product."

What is our primary use case?

We use it for a campus network. We have something like 4G or 5G at the backend, and we have deployed a setpoint at the frontend to provide the services. It is an enterprise-level deployment. We are using its latest version.

What is most valuable?

It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly.

What needs improvement?

As such, there are no problems. It has been good. There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product. We had to make some improvements in the network design. The product as such is fine, and there are no big issues.

We are using the latest version having most of the features available in the industry, so the specs are very high. If something new comes up new in the industry, it needs to be incorporated into the product.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for about five to six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable. There are some issues, but they are more related to design and installation.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable. You can scale up. Depending on the requirement, you can add extra nodes.

We deployed it for another organization as a system integrator. They have at least 100 people within the campus network. There are also visitors.

How are customer service and technical support?

It depends on what kind of agreement we have with them. In some agreements, we can only contact them in case there is something wrong with the product and we need replacement, which is fine because we have the backups. So, we can easily manage that.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy. We used user-oriented manuals and guidelines for design and installation, so it was fine. 

We spent a lot of time on the design. Therefore, at the time of installation, it didn't take much time. For installation, we were sure what we wanted to do, so it went okay. It was not like plug and play, but overall, it was good.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It is not monthly. It is a kind of perpetual licensing. We pay once depending on the kind of services we need to deliver. There are no licensing fees.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution, but it depends on the kind of use case we are going into. The main advice is to use the latest technology.

I would rate Huawei Wireless a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Cost-effective and simple to use, but the stability needs to be improved
Pros and Cons
  • "This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
  • "This solution has issues with bugs and instability."

What is our primary use case?

We are a service provider and Huawei wireless is one of the solutions that we implement for our clients.

What is most valuable?

This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly.

The coverage is good.

What needs improvement?

This solution has issues with bugs and instability.

In the future, I would like to see network access control features.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been working with Huawei for two or three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is not a very stable product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We haven't had any problems with scalability. One of our clients has approximately 100 users.

I also have a little bit of experience with Cisco and Aruba Wireless products. I find that the Aruba administration interface is more difficult to use than the other two. Huawei is cheaper than both Cisco and Aruba.

How was the initial setup?

We have run into bugs while deploying this product.

What about the implementation team?

One or two administrators are required for maintenance.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Easy to manage and stable, but needs better integration capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
  • "The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."

What is most valuable?

The handover is seamless whenever the users connect to the access point.

The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions.

What needs improvement?

Technical support needs to be improved.

The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. We have more than 3,000 users on the solution currently, and we do plan to increase usage.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support is not great. Whenever I open a case, I don't get any immediate support. You have to wait for at least 24 hours. Once you do get a hold of them, the quality of their suggestions are good. It's the wait time that needs to be fixed. It should be much more immediate for clients.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used Cisco wireless. We switched due to a decision made by our management team.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is a little bit complex. Sometimes the Huawei access point doesn't support POE. You also need a big team for maintenance. We have 30-40 people, for example.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

In comparison to Cisco, the pricing isn't bad.

What other advice do I have?

We're a consultant and support many companies and end-users.

We use the 5060 and 6020 access points, among others. We use the private cloud deployment model for medium-sized companies.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

Excellent roaming features, good scalability and an easy set up
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features."
  • "The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution as a wireless LAN.

What is most valuable?

The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features.

What needs improvement?

The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. Once you set up, you don't need to touch it again.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

If you have an access controller, the solution is scalable. Our clients are typically medium-sized enterprises. We have about 200 users.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support is not ideal. They sometimes cannot connect to the wireless access point or their connection drops.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is simple. It usually takes one day to deploy the solution. You only need one person to maintain it once it is set up.

What other advice do I have?

In terms of advice I'd give to others considering implementing the solution is that it's easy to use if they use an access controller.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I'd rate it higher but they don't offer a good technical guide which means you ultimately need to search and try out solutions for yourself.
