"It's really easy to set up. And, you don't have to pay for the cloud solution. That's really interesting for our clients. And the other thing is, the roaming is also quite good.""The solution has fast deployment and easy setup. There is no security PIN for this account.""The initial setup is very simple.""The configuration is very simple.""The app and the provisioning are the best features of the product. It was really impressive that I was able to just provision it remotely. I didn't have to be on-site with my friend, and we were just able to get everything up and operational. So, the app is great. It sends me notifications when things are down, and it tells me how everything is doing.""When an error or alert happens, I receive it in the application. I do not have to be there to know if something is wrong.""Its technical support is excellent.""It's super user-friendly."

"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use.""Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology.""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.""We've found the solution to be quite stable.""The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup.""Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches.""The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."

Cons
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""The solution is expensive.""Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The tool's pricing is not good.""I would like to see a feature that blocks, increases, or decreases bandwidth capacity for devices.""When there are a lot of people connected, especially during video streaming demonstrations, the connection can get a bit choppy.""The solution can be more integrated with other brands.""The solution's range could be better.""I believe there's room for improvement in the validation process, especially for customers facing compliance issues when managing access points from the cloud. It would be beneficial if the access points could also be managed from an on-premises controller. Regarding additional features, customers express interest in enhancing the controller, specifically improving the capability to manage a higher number of access points from the same controller. This feature is crucial for better scalability. Another feature that customers would appreciate is the ability to increase the number of access points. However, the current process for obtaining this permission can be time-consuming, and customers would like to see improvements in this regard.""The solution should include higher speed and lesser cost.""The limited functionality of the mobile app restricts its use primarily to small and medium-sized setups, making it less suitable for enterprise-level solutions."

More Aruba Instant On Access Points Cons →

"Cloud integration needs to 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 demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use. As a partner, you can use the solution for free, for thirty days, for example. On paper, everything looks fine, but you have to get permission and explain why you want to download the software, even if it's just for demo purposes. I don't get why I have to do this as a partner and still give an explanation that this would be for a demo setup. Downloading the solution isn't a click-and-install process that should go smoothly and efficiently. You have to get a lot of approvals and explain a lot, and in the end, you find out that you received the approval for one piece of software. It looks like you need additional software to use the software. My company asked for approval and received the approval three days later, but you need to install another software to use some of the features. In the past, most features were separate. Because Huawei wants a single pane of glass where all features should work with the Huawei equipment, Huawei decided to combine everything into the iMaster NCE Campus, which incorporates every other cloud solution. However, you still have to ask for approval for every piece of software, and without clear information on the features, the type of software, and the software files required, it's not so good from my point of view.""While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective.""The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices.""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.""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.""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."
