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.

Fahad Doguwa - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Gyan Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."
"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."
"The scalability could be better."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"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."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"The stability could be improved."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
More Huawei Wireless cons
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Juniper should make the products more affordable."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"The solution is expensive."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
