Cambium Networks Wireless LAN vs Huawei Wireless comparison

"The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."

"It offers features that are essential for an efficient and high-performance wireless LAN deployment, where capacity, coverage, and quality are optimized, and frequency bands are selected based on the specific needs of the network."

"It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure."

"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."

"The product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization."

"The product has valuable throughput capabilities. It also has an inbuilt spectrum analyzer for stable connectivity."

"It provides strong coverage for outdoor areas."

"They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool."

"It has all of the features that we need."

"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."

"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."

"The product is simple and easy to use."

"The solution offers very good value for money."

"At the moment, I only have experience with the on-premise deployment of Huawei Wireless, but the cloud solution looks good on paper. It looks perfect. I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods. My company has four devices running uptime for more than four years without stopping. I also like that the support for Huawei Wireless is swift, and support does precisely what you require, at least from the point of view of the technical engineer who communicated with Huawei support, as I'm more of a technical sales guy. Good technical support is vital to my company, partners, and customers. My company had this ongoing project with an ISP provider in Bulgaria that bought some routers. Still, the existing equipment was a completely different brand, so this provider wanted to migrate to Huawei Wireless and wanted help while migrating the existing infrastructure to Huawei, so the technical engineer assigned to raise the ticket with Huawei for checking and setting parameters correctly provided feedback about Huawei technical support being good quality-wise and TAT-wise. The technical engineer was also Cisco-certified and Juniper-certified and was not experienced with Huawei equipment. Still, he did mention that the Huawei Wireless router interface was straightforward, and even a person who's new to it would find it easy to configure. Huawei Wireless is user-friendly, which is another pro of the solution. It's easy to manage, and even the program language setting can be done with fewer commands than Juniper and Cisco equipment. Some of the features in Juniper need an external program, and the same features can be found in Huawei Wireless built-in, which I find remarkable."

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

"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."

"Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available."

"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."

"The platform's cost needs improvement."

"The product pricing needs improvement."

"Not a lot of technical engineers are familiar with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. They are familiar with implementing and using other solutions such as Aruba. Therefore, Cambium Networks needs to be more visible in the marketplace."

"The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness."

"What could be improved in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is its efficiency in large areas because we noticed that there's a need to increase the APs in large rooms or spaces for the Wi-Fi to be more efficient. Another area for improvement in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is bandwidth management. This is a feature that Meraki has that allows you to control user bandwidth, so my company has a pilot project to test Meraki Wireless LAN. Bandwidth control is an additional feature I'd like to see in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN as that would make the solution better."

"The solution’s technical support could be faster."

"The solution could be easier to use."

"The scalability could be a bit better."

"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."

"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."

"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."

"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved."

"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."

"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."

"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is cheaper than Aruba."

"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN has a moderate pricing."

"The licensing costs for this solution are calculated per asset, and depending on the model of the equipment, it starts at $230, and goes up to roughly $1,200. The benefit of this solution is that there are no hidden costs; no cost for managing the equipment, and no cost for maintaining the equipment during its usable lifetime."

"It's a good price, but not the best price. It's on the higher end of what I would call affordable for small to medium-sized businesses."

"If one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the product price as one."

"It is an expensive product compared to other competitors."

"I would place it in the mid-range market segment, balancing affordability and profitability."

"In general, the way we purchased it was we purchased it at the beginning, was with five years of support, once our initial cost was met, we didn't have to pay for anything else."

"Right now, my company made a one-time purchase of Huawei Wireless. It depends, but in most of the projects where customers buy hardware with some software, it's a one-time purchase. Customers pay a yearly fee for other projects for support and additional software features, such as email protection firmware updates for cybersecurity. You'll also receive information about the latest attacks and get more protection if you pay an additional fee apart from the standard license fee. You'll also get an additional warranty for Huawei Wireless, a yearly contract."

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

"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."

"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."

"I pay monthly for the solution."

"The product has a good price."

"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."
