Wireless projects run smoothly with more access point support and competitive pricing

D-Link Wireless offers more supported APs to the WLC with the default license compared to other brands like Cisco. With Cisco, only four to five APs are connected with the default license, but D-Link Wireless provides more flexibility. Local support in Pakistan is necessary for those with limited budgets, creating a reach in the market.

Customizable and has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, and smart antennas

The initial setup for Huawei Wireless is easy, so it's a nine out of ten for me. It takes six to eight weeks to deploy the product. Initially, as I'm in pre-sales, I generate RFPs and the response when a customer has issued a published tender. I'll check the requirement, and then I'll map it to the Huawei product. I'll then make the Statement of Compliance (SOC) and select the proper model. Next, I'll send the information and document to Huawei for technical vetting. After technical vetting, I'll request Huawei to share information on costs and other vetted documents I need to complete, and once completed, I'll submit the documents. It'll then take approximately ten to fifteen days. Deploying Huawei Wireless requires teamwork because the deployment process involves different people and teams, such as the project manager, post-deployment, and pre-sales teams, to deploy the product completely.

Pros

"It's scalable, user friendly, and easy to manage."

"The system simplifies network management."

"The connectivity is good."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"The setup process is very easy."

"Overall, I rate D-Link Wireless nine out of ten as a solution."

"D-Link is a good product that is quite affordable and I recommend it."

"The tool supports new technologies."

More D-Link Wireless pros

"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."

"The solution is easy to set up."

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

"That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac."

"We've found the solution to be quite stable."

"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."

"The solution offers very good value for money."

"What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas."

More Huawei Wireless pros

Cons

"D-Link has some catching up to do in terms of advancing and improving its technology."

"D-Link Wireless’s stability needs improvement."

"Password restriction: Sometimes we set a password and it uses that password but, after some days/months, the password gets changed and a few laptops still use old the password while a few use the new password. The password restriction option needs to improve."

"The tool's technical support can get difficult sometimes. We got a technician only after complaining for 10-15 days. The tool's technicians need to be made available everywhere."

"D-Link Wireless should include the 'cleaner' feature similar to Cisco's APs. This feature reduces signal interference with access points."

"Sometimes, the solution needs to be restarted."

"The solution doesn't have hotspots. Users can't set it up so that visitors can log in via Facebook or social media as they can at, for example, airports. D-Link should include hotspots that offer integration with social media. That way, visitors don't need to be asking people for passwords. They can just use Facebook."

"The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network."

More D-Link Wireless cons

"They should include more security features in the solution."

"The scalability could be a bit better."

"Cloud integration needs to be improved."

"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."

"Technical support could be better."

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

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

"I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no licensing fee for the solution."

"D-Link Wireless' price is the same as Aruba's. You need to pay one-time costs for the product."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."

"The cost can range from $100 to $400."

"The product is affordable."

"D-Link Wireless is cheaper than Ruckus or Cisco."

"D-Link pricing is very competitive when you consider other OEMs."

"This solution is more affordable than others on the market."

"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."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."

"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."

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

"We don't have any control on the pricing. This comes from Huawei in India. Pricing-wise, Huawei is very aggressive and competitive if you compare them to competitors, like Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus. The Indian Huawei team tells us, "Just pick up the order and design the infrastructure. If there are any pricing challenge, we'll work on that and we will try to match things 100 percent.""

"Its price is reasonable."

"It is very cost-effective."
