Assiatant Manager / pre-sales manager at PTCL

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.

CTO at Redeswirelessbrasil

Scalable and AI-driven automation helps in quick implementation

I have a global customer who wants to start the design phase in a big warehouse, but we do not have the equipment to do a site survey. I need support for the access point to implement in a freezer area. I do not have it. The customer tried to send one piece of equipment to Brazil. However, we had a problem because the customer needed to implement it in three months, and it took two months to send one equipment to Brazil.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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."

"We've found the solution to be quite stable."

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

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

"It is easy to set up."

"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."

"It provides high-speed network connections."

More Huawei Wireless pros

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

"The most useful aspect of Mist AI and Cloud is automation capabilities."

"The most valuable aspect is that they operate on small microservices, offering numerous open APIs that enhance the value of our Wi-Fi network. This flexibility allows us to optimize various aspects such as workforce planning and occupancy management. The platform is highly open in the market, providing robust APIs for seamless integration with other tools. Currently, we leverage these capabilities at a building site, incorporating IoT sensors to gather data. The collected data is stored in a centralized location, and we plan to use AI for analysis. This analysis will include insights on peak activity times, humidity levels, temperature variations, and other relevant metrics within the building."

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

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

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

"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."

"AI is the most valuable feature."

More Mist AI and Cloud pros

Cons

"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 speed could be a bit better."

"I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior."

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

"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."

"Support could be a bit faster."

"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use. As a partner, you can use the solution for free, for thirty days, for example. On paper, everything looks fine, but you have to get permission and explain why you want to download the software, even if it's just for demo purposes. I don't get why I have to do this as a partner and still give an explanation that this would be for a demo setup. Downloading the solution isn't a click-and-install process that should go smoothly and efficiently. You have to get a lot of approvals and explain a lot, and in the end, you find out that you received the approval for one piece of software. It looks like you need additional software to use the software. My company asked for approval and received the approval three days later, but you need to install another software to use some of the features. In the past, most features were separate. Because Huawei wants a single pane of glass where all features should work with the Huawei equipment, Huawei decided to combine everything into the iMaster NCE Campus, which incorporates every other cloud solution. However, you still have to ask for approval for every piece of software, and without clear information on the features, the type of software, and the software files required, it's not so good from my point of view."

"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"Configuration could be improved."

"Regarding opportunities for improvement in Mist, it is notable for its robust cloud portal and integration of artificial intelligence into various services, creating a highly efficient environment for work. However, a drawback lies in the cost associated with its WiFi offerings. With a pricing range of twelve hundred to fifteen hundred dollars for a single Access Point, exclusive of the subscription, it is acknowledged as a relatively expensive solution in the realm of WiFi services. Despite this drawback, the positive attributes of Mist make it a noteworthy option."

"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."

"There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."

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

"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

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

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."

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

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"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 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."

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

"The solution is expensive in Brazil."

"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."

"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 price of this product is approximately the same as competing products in the market."
