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.

Cons

"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."

"The scalability could be better."

"The scalability could be a bit better."

"The stability could be improved."

"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."

"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 solution could be easier to use."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."

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

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

More Mist AI and Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."

"I pay monthly for the solution."

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

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

"Extras come with a surcharge."

"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."

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

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"Mist AI and Cloud is expensive."

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

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