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.

Technical Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Has improved troubleshooting efficiency with AI-driven insights but requires a simpler user interface

Mist AI and Cloud has integrated artificial intelligence and introduced a Marvis tool, making troubleshooting much easier compared to Cisco, Extreme, or any other vendor. The Marvis tool includes Marvis Action and Marvis Mini. In Marvis Mini, you can enter the MAC address, site name, or device name to get complete details of any issues the device is facing. If you enter the MAC address of a device, it will show the types of issues such as roaming, authentication, or IP address problems. This eliminates the need to manually search for errors on the controller. The troubleshooting has been significantly simplified through Marvis Mini, which is integrated with AI. Additionally, Marvis Action helps with alerting and monitoring, showing how many devices are down and what kinds of connectivity, DHCP, or authentication issues exist, providing alerts without the need to manually monitor all devices. Mist AI and Cloud is very effective at managing user experience through its AI capabilities. It helps reduce downtime by providing alerts that allow us to work directly on issues without waiting for system failures.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It can scale."

"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."

"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."

"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."

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

"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."

"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."

"Mist AI and Cloud is ideal as we move towards the AI world."

More Mist AI and Cloud pros

Cons

"The security of the solution could be better in the future."

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

"As such, there are no problems. It has been good. There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product. We had to make some improvements in the network design. The product as such is fine, and there are no big issues. We are using the latest version having most of the features available in the industry, so the specs are very high. If something new comes up new in the industry, it needs to be incorporated into the product."

"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."

"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."

"What needs improvement in Huawei Wireless is after-sales support. I've faced many after-sales support issues, so that's the area I want Huawei to improve. Having an SLA with customers is what I'd suggest to Huawei Wireless."

"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."

"The stability could be improved."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"The area for improvement is that Juniper is not as market dominant as Cisco, so they should focus on making their GUI more user-friendly, as it is currently a bit complex and users may not fully understand the available features."

"Configuration could be improved."

"If Juniper or Mist can enhance the management of third-party devices, it would make sense, as the current functionalities offer limited insight compared to managing Juniper or Mist devices."

"There could be more integration."

"The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us."

"If there's one thing I'd like to change, it's the pricing. They are quite expensive, but honestly, it's justified by the value they provide. However, for a simple Wi-Fi connectivity with basic security needs, there are alternatives in the market that offer comparable features at a more budget-friendly price."

"The support needs improvement. Since the merger or integration between Mist AI and Cloud and HP, it has affected service quality negatively."

"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions. It has one of the most competitive prices out there."

"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.""

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice
