Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 31, 2024

Huawei Wireless and Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points compete in the wireless networking category. Huawei Wireless has an advantage in pricing, making it affordable for users seeking WiFi 6 systems, while Juniper Mist offers advanced AI-driven network management that appeals to businesses needing sophisticated network control.

Features: Huawei Wireless provides an affordable WiFi 6 system with efficient coverage and scalability, supporting seamless roaming and strong IoT integration. Juniper Mist is distinguished by its AI-driven network management, centralized management, and AI-based insights, catering to users who prioritize ease of troubleshooting and robust security features.

Room for Improvement: Huawei Wireless needs to enhance its cloud management, visibility controls, and technical support response times. Additionally, increasing third-party integration could be advantageous. Juniper Mist could improve its third-party integration, especially with non-Juniper products. Enhancing AI-based threat detection and addressing pricing concerns are other potential improvements.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Huawei Wireless is mainly deployed on-premises, with feedback indicating delayed technical support. Juniper Mist offers flexible deployment options, including public and hybrid cloud, but customer support needs better responsiveness.

Affordable platform with efficient analytics features

Huawei adapters have facilitated seamless integration with mobile devices, extending the LAN's reach. Additionally, including CampusInsight, a component offering analytics and visibility into wireless connectivity, has proven invaluable. This feature enables us to monitor network health and troubleshoot user-related issues efficiently. The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations. I advise others to go for Cisco if cost is not a factor. Otherwise, they can explore other options based on the availability of that OEM within the country. We have Huawei present in our country and provide all the necessary support, so we went forward with them. I rate it a nine out of ten.

Offers good performance, good solution and smooth implementation

I do have a suggestion: it would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network. If there are access points from other brands installed nearby; they can cause interference and disrupt the range of our Mist access points. So, the security features could be stronger, especially in terms of authentication. The connectivity is excellent, but security needs improvement. In future releases, integrating more AI features would be beneficial. If Mist had stronger AI features, it could provide better security against network threats and cyberattacks. So, this solution still needs to improve its AI capabilities. It would be great if the AI could improve the range of the access points, and auto-protect functionality should be there to avoid interference by other nearby access points and enhance threat detection. In the future, I'd like to see stronger threat detection features integrated with Mist, as well as better detection of nearby access points that might cause interference.

Cons

"The solution could be easier to use."

"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."

"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."

"The manageability could be improved."

"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."

"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."

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

"The stability could be improved."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."

"Supporting multiple protocols would be beneficial."

"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."

"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."

"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."

"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."

"The price could be better."

"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
