Extremely competitive pricing with good stability and speed
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution offers very good value for money."
  • "They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."

What is most valuable?

The solution offers very good value for money. The access points on offer are very comparable to what is on the market, and it comes in at a much cheaper price.

The speed of the solution is good.

The stability is great so far.

We've found the scalability to be quite good.

What needs improvement?

They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready. What happens is they launch too early, and then a problem is found and they have to fix it and the client gets very annoyed.

The initial setup is a bit complex.

The configuration is not that easy. Specifically, using the GUI interface is quite difficult to understand.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been working with the solution for about six months or so.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of the solution is very good. It doesn't have bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's pretty reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution can scale well. A company shouldn't have any issues with expanding the solution.

Typically, our clients are small and medium-sized organizations.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is quite good. I'd rate them at an eight out of ten. We're mostly satisfied with the level of support we receive.

While the response is great, occasionally, the competency isn't there.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We also use Cisco. We're partners with them as well.

We've used Aruba, however, I find the solution quite bad.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is pretty complex. It's not exactly straightforward.

The configuration process is not so easy and the GUI is a bit difficult, which makes it a bit harder than it needs to be.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is not expensive at all. It's very reasonable and very competitive.

What other advice do I have?

We are Huawei and Cisco partners and we're an IT company.

I'd recommend the solution to others. I'd rate the product eight out of ten. If the setup was easier I'd likely rate it higher.

The solution has a very long range. It's pretty powerful. I didn't need to use any mesh. 

It's stable. 

The setup is easy.

It can scale. 

What needs improvement?

The speed could be a bit better. It could offer better performance.

The solution is stable and reliable. It's fast. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have five or six people using the solution right now. We do not have plans to increase usage at this time.

I've never had to contact support in the past. I haven't had any issues with it. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I did use other solutions previously. It was a long time ago, and I can't remember which brands I used. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. It didn't take too long to deploy. It only took one hour to get it up and running. I can't remember the exact process, as I did it a few years ago. 

What about the implementation team?

I handled the initial setup myself, in-house. I didn't need outside assistance. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

You do not have to pay for a year subscription. It is a one-time fee. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using.

Stellar solution with good stability but the visibility needs improvement
Pros and Cons
  • "That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

We mostly use the on-premises version. I believe they don't have a private cloud offering yet on the controller. Either way, it's on-premises that we are using now.

What is most valuable?

That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using and reselling this solution for almost three years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's pretty stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability depends on which model you are using. It is pretty scalable for an enterprise. We haven't tried it on a cloud model, so I wouldn't know.

We don't have that many users internally. We're mostly using it for some fragments in the innovation center. We mainly use a different solution. We are using it in different fragments of the management department. We don't have a bulk of users there, but as an estimate, you could say 50 to 60 users.

How are customer service and technical support?

The customer support is pretty good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We have different vendors we work with. We work with Cisco and Aruba as well.

How was the initial setup?

We do a standard installation unless there's a requirement from the customer to customize it. If there is customization, that can get as complex as it can be in an enterprise environment.

Deployment time varies. There's no standard. A very standard configuration is about a day or two, but that still depends.

We have all sizes of customers.

What other advice do I have?

It's a pretty good solution. The design has to be right. If the design is done properly and the conditions are right, it's a stellar product.

It would probably be a seven or eight out of ten.

The technical support is very good if we have any problem they resolve it quickly.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used HP solutions in the past.

What is most valuable?

This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly.

The coverage is good.

What needs improvement?

This solution has issues with bugs and instability.

One or two administrators are required for maintenance.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

I'm not sure how many users are currently on the solution.

We do plan to continue to use the solution, at least, until we get fiber.

How are customer service and technical support?

I've never spoken with technical support. Due to the fact that I haven't had any direct interactions with them in the past, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I haven't used any other wireless products in the past.

How was the initial setup?

The installation process is not difficult or complex. It's simple and quite straightforward.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing on the solution is very reasonable. It's a less costly option.

There are no licensing costs for the solution.

What other advice do I have?

We should be using the latest version of the solution. I'm not sure what the version number is at this time.

I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations as it is a very simple, easy-to-use product.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

Overall, we've been quite pleased with the solution and its capabilities as well as its pricing.
