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.

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.

A combination of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science techniques to optimize user experiences
We manage a sizable building that houses our office workspaces, comprising approximately six hundred offices. Our primary requirement is to deploy WiFi access across these offices. This serves as the initial use case. The second use case arose during the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting us to explore…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The product is quite user-friendly and easy to deploy, so one should definitely consider buying it."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."
"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."
"At the moment, I only have experience with the on-premise deployment of Huawei Wireless, but the cloud solution looks good on paper. It looks perfect. I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods. My company has four devices running uptime for more than four years without stopping. I also like that the support for Huawei Wireless is swift, and support does precisely what you require, at least from the point of view of the technical engineer who communicated with Huawei support, as I'm more of a technical sales guy. Good technical support is vital to my company, partners, and customers. My company had this ongoing project with an ISP provider in Bulgaria that bought some routers. Still, the existing equipment was a completely different brand, so this provider wanted to migrate to Huawei Wireless and wanted help while migrating the existing infrastructure to Huawei, so the technical engineer assigned to raise the ticket with Huawei for checking and setting parameters correctly provided feedback about Huawei technical support being good quality-wise and TAT-wise. The technical engineer was also Cisco-certified and Juniper-certified and was not experienced with Huawei equipment. Still, he did mention that the Huawei Wireless router interface was straightforward, and even a person who's new to it would find it easy to configure. Huawei Wireless is user-friendly, which is another pro of the solution. It's easy to manage, and even the program language setting can be done with fewer commands than Juniper and Cisco equipment. Some of the features in Juniper need an external program, and the same features can be found in Huawei Wireless built-in, which I find remarkable."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features."
"Mist AI and Cloud have definitely improved the functioning of our organization. The access to the Internet, including its speed and reliability, has significantly improved."
"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."
"The most useful aspect of Mist AI and Cloud is automation capabilities."
"Mist AI and Cloud is the best solution I have seen in the industry, especially from the artificial intelligence perspective, as it helps businesses."
"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."
"Regarding features, the solution seems to be very intuitive."
"If you compare wired versus wireless, it's convenient. You don't need to have one place for connectivity. You can move around and it's easier. Sometimes it's a hassle to work with wires, which is why wireless is so convenient."
"AI-driven automation helps implement the solution quickly."
 

Cons

"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Though certain security features are integrated into the product, my company has to always look forward to tightening certain security functionalities in the solution."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The price could be better."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"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."
"The scalability could be better."
"Technical support could be better."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"The manageability could be improved."
"There are some technical issues that may require attention"
"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."
"Configuration could be improved."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"There seems to be different versions of standards used in the wireless access points. In the future, it would be helpful if the solution could come up with some kind of universal standard for all devices and all access points."
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."
"The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair."
"The pricing is too high."
"I rate the product price as a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is expensive. It is a reasonably priced tool."
"The solution is expensive."
"I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."
"If a customer has a budget of around five lakhs in Indian currency, they can afford Juniper products."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"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."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"It is very cost-effective."
"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"The solution's price is too high for the end-users. My customers pay 1,000 USD towards the licensing cost of the solution every year."
"The price is not cheap, but it's a reliable solution and very easy for management."
"Depending on the features, I think it's quite reasonably priced, especially considering the facilities of the product."
"Mist AI and Cloud is expensive."
"I rate the pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high."
"The custom licensing is a little bit expensive and I would rate it 7.5 out of 10."
"The solution is expensive in Brazil."
"The price of this product is approximately the same as competing products in the market."
