Huawei Wireless vs Mist AI and Cloud comparison

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

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

"It provides high-speed network connections."

"The product is simple and easy to use."

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

"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."

"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."

"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."

"AI is the most valuable feature."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"Multi PSK (Pre-shared Key) is a very good feature in the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"Regarding features, the solution seems to be very intuitive."

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

"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 manageability could be improved."

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

"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."

"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."

"Price is one of the major problems of the solution, and because of this, our company's customers want to migrate to some other product from Huawei."

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

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

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

"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."

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

"The support needs improvement. Since the merger or integration between Mist AI and Cloud and HP, it has affected service quality negatively."

"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."

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

"In future releases, they need to add some router models. Because currently, it supports only SSR and WAN routers. But adding other routers would be good."

"Its price is very good. This wireless system totally costs about 30,000 euros, and some of the other solutions cost about 45,000 euros. It is a difference of 15,000 euros, which is quite a lot of money."

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

"I pay monthly for the solution."

"It is very cost-effective."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."

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

"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 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 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."

"Mist AI and Cloud is expensive."

"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 solution is expensive in Brazil."

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

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