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.

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.

"It is easy to set up."
"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."
"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"It can scale."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"Multi PSK (Pre-shared Key) is a very good feature in the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"Has an extremely good feature set."
"Ability to control the access points by groups."
"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."
"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."
"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."
"Mist AI and Cloud is ideal as we move towards the AI world."
 

Cons

"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"Technical support could be better."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"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 speed could be a bit better."
"The manageability could be improved."
"There could be more integration."
"There are some technical issues that may require attention"
"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."
"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."
"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."
"There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."
"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."
"Regarding opportunities for improvement in Mist, it is notable for its robust cloud portal and integration of artificial intelligence into various services, creating a highly efficient environment for work. However, a drawback lies in the cost associated with its WiFi offerings. With a pricing range of twelve hundred to fifteen hundred dollars for a single Access Point, exclusive of the subscription, it is acknowledged as a relatively expensive solution in the realm of WiFi services. Despite this drawback, the positive attributes of Mist make it a noteworthy option."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"It is very cost-effective."
"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."
"The product has a good price."
"Its price is reasonable."
"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."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"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 is not cheap, but it's a reliable solution and very easy for management."
"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 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."
