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.

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."

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

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

"The solution offers very good value for money."

"From an implementation perspective, it's easy. I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup."

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

"You can add a lot of features, such as cloud, integration with IoT, etc. They have a lot of options available but the top feature is the performance."

"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."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"Real-time management of events and resources is excellent, making it the best in the market, which is why Juniper is highly ranked in the Gartner ratings."

"Mist is a really good tool that provides essential AI information from an operational point of view, covering both wireless and switching."

"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The AI deployment process involves adding access points and placing them in the designated area. The AI system automatically adjusts channel selection and transmission power without any issues with stability or throughput. It has improved network performance."

"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."

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

"Mist AI and Cloud is the best solution I have seen in the industry, especially from the artificial intelligence perspective, as it helps businesses."

"The cost is the most valuable aspect of this solution."

More Mist AI and Cloud pros

Cons

"Cloud integration needs to be improved."

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

"The scalability could be a bit better."

"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."

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

"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."

"Technical support could be better."

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

More Huawei Wireless cons

"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."

"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."

"Configuration could be improved."

"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."

"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."

"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."

"I pay monthly for the solution."

"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."

"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."

"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."

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"The solution is expensive in Brazil."

"The price is about the same compared to other vendors. There is an add-on license, but it's up to you if you want to buy it or not."

"Depending on the features, I think it's quite reasonably priced, especially considering the facilities of the product."

"I rate the pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high."

"Mist AI and Cloud is expensive."

"The annual cost is a significant issue for us, and it notably contributes to the overall price. We have a customer with nearly fifty-eight access points in a multifunctional building, and while the setup was relatively simple, the yearly licensing cost is substantial. For the specific features we utilize, the licensing amounts to about forty thousand euros annually. This is not a trivial expense and significantly impacts the overall cost, making it quite high."

"The price of Mist AI and Cloud is approximately 20 percent less than competitors, such as Aruba and Cisco. However, Cisco has a lifetime warranty for its solutions."

"The price is not cheap, but it's a reliable solution and very easy for management."
