Huawei Wireless vs Mist AI and Cloud comparison

"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."

"It is easy to set up."

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

"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."

"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."

"What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas."

"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."

"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."

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

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

"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."

"AI-driven automation helps implement the solution quickly."

"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."

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

"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."

"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved."

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

"As such, there are no problems. It has been good. There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product. We had to make some improvements in the network design. The product as such is fine, and there are no big issues. We are using the latest version having most of the features available in the industry, so the specs are very high. If something new comes up new in the industry, it needs to be incorporated into the product."

"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."

"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 scalability could be better."

"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."

"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."

"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."

"There could be more integration."

"Configuration could be improved."

"The solution lacks documentation."

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

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

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

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

"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."

"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions. It has one of the most competitive prices out there."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."

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

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

"The product has a good price."

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

"It is very cost-effective."

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

"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."

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

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

"The solution is expensive in Brazil."

"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."

"Mist AI and Cloud is expensive."

"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."
