Huawei Wireless vs Mist AI and Cloud comparison

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

"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 offers very good value for money."

"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."

"It provides high-speed network connections."

"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."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

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

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

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

"Real-time management of events and resources is excellent, making it the best in the market, which is why Juniper is highly ranked in the Gartner ratings."

"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."

"Has an extremely good feature set."

"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."

"The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."

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

"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."

"The scalability could be a bit 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."

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

"The scalability could be better."

"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."

"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."

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

"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."

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

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

"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."

"There seems to be different versions of standards used in the wireless access points. In the future, it would be helpful if the solution could come up with some kind of universal standard for all devices and all access points."

"There could be more integration."

"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."

"There are some technical issues that may require attention"

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

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

"Its price is reasonable."

"Extras come with a surcharge."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."

"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. The Indian Huawei team tells us, "Just pick up the order and design the infrastructure. If there are any pricing challenge, we'll work on that and we will try to match things 100 percent.""

"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."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."

"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'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."

"I rate the pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high."

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

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

"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 is expensive in Brazil."
