Huawei Wireless and Omada Access Points are significant players in the wireless access point market. Huawei's competitive pricing and extensive features slightly edge out Omada, especially in larger scale deployments, while Omada is recognized for its cost-effectiveness and suitability for small to medium enterprises.

Features: Huawei Wireless includes seamless roaming, cloud integration, and high-stability with Wi-Fi 6. It is noted for its affordability and ease of configuration. Omada Access Points are valued for their reliability, ease of use, and integration with centralized systems, enhancing business operations and network control.

Offers good performance, good solution and smooth implementation

I do have a suggestion: it would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network. If there are access points from other brands installed nearby; they can cause interference and disrupt the range of our Mist access points. So, the security features could be stronger, especially in terms of authentication. The connectivity is excellent, but security needs improvement. In future releases, integrating more AI features would be beneficial. If Mist had stronger AI features, it could provide better security against network threats and cyberattacks. So, this solution still needs to improve its AI capabilities. It would be great if the AI could improve the range of the access points, and auto-protect functionality should be there to avoid interference by other nearby access points and enhance threat detection. In the future, I'd like to see stronger threat detection features integrated with Mist, as well as better detection of nearby access points that might cause interference.

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.

Well-suited for mobile and portable device usage but issues with stability

The main purpose of Access Points is because most of the users use only mobile devices and portable devices. We use other special applications dedicated to our company through mobile devices only. We are connecting to the application. We currently use our ERP systems and other things on an…

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros

"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."

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

"Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology."

"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."

"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."

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

More Huawei Wireless pros

"We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"We don't have any issues 90 percent of the time. It works fine in most situations. It has been a success story for delivering WiFi services in Romania. Our customers are happy, and I've been satisfied with Omada's performance as an engineer."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its price."

"The performance and availability of Omada Access Points have met our business needs, particularly in improving network control and facilitating direct access for developers to branch services."

More Omada Access Points pros

Cons

"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."

"Juniper should make the products more affordable."

"They should include SD-WAN features to it."

"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."

"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."

"Though certain security features are integrated into the product, my company has to always look forward to tightening certain security functionalities in the solution."

"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."

"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

"The stability could be improved."

"What needs improvement in Huawei Wireless is after-sales support. I've faced many after-sales support issues, so that's the area I want Huawei to improve. Having an SLA with customers is what I'd suggest to Huawei Wireless."

"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."

"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."

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

"Support could be a bit faster."

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

More Huawei Wireless cons

"It is less affordable for smaller businesses."

"Omada could add some API integrations that would help with our automated solution. We're trying to integrate, and we're having some issues because some of the calls are not there. The API still needs some development."

"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement."

"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."

"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."

"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."

"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."

"The price of the solution is an area requiring improvement since I want the solution to be made available at a cheaper price than its current market price."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pricing and cost advice

"The product has a good price."

"Its price is reasonable."

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

"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."

"We don't have any control on the pricing. This comes from Huawei in India. Pricing-wise, Huawei is very aggressive and competitive if you compare them to competitors, like Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus.
