Huawei Wireless vs Mist AI and Cloud comparison

"Installation is easy."

"It has all of the features that we need."

"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."

"The most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems. Its price is very nice. The other WiFi systems cost about 15% more."

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

"I think it's a good technology. I like that it transparently connects with LDAP. The technology has a lot of capacity for WiFi six. It provides notifications, and there are many ways to connect with fiber. There is an electrical tool, and you can put an SFP transceiver. There are also many ways to implement antennas."

"It can scale."

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

"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."

"Ability to control the access points by groups."

"The tool's best part is the GUI. It is user-friendly and fast due to AI features. The solution can help you fix things with AI, which is impressive."

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

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

"Has an extremely good feature set."

"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."

"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."

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

"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 scalability could be a bit better."

"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."

"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."

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

"The speed could be a bit better."

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

"There are some technical issues that may require attention"

"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."

"The solution lacks documentation."

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

"There are many aspects of AI, and how acquisitions are proceeding, particularly between Juniper and Aruba, remains unclear."

"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."

"Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it."

"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."

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

"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."

"The product has a good price."

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

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

"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."

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

"Mist AI and Cloud is expensive."

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

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

"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."

"The custom licensing is a little bit expensive and I would rate it 7.5 out of 10."

"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 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."
