ExtremeWireless vs Huawei Wireless comparison

"The technical support from Extreme Networks is perfect."

"The cloud-based solution allows for easy management and monitoring of traffic and congestion."

"The most valuable feature is stability."

"ExtremeWireless is a flexible solution."

"The initial setup was easy."

"The cloud-based management system is valuable."

"The most valuable feature is the cloud-managed aspect."

"The monitoring system is integrated with AI features."

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

"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."

"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."

"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."

"It provides high-speed network connections."

"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."

"It is easy to set up."

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

"There is some delay in firmware upgrades for access points. When there is a problem with the firmware of one access point, the correction might be too late."

"It is a subscription model, so it is maybe a bit pricey."

"The APs have quite a low signal compared to other brands."

"They should develop more troubleshooting tools for system management."

"The onsite controllers are not as good as the cloud controller. I would also like ExtremeWireless to add web filtering on the access point. This feature is available from other vendors but not ExtremeWireless."

"The ability to integrate with network devices from other vendors would be helpful."

"The reports could prove in ExtremeWireless. However, we are in the early stages of use and we might be able to configure them better."

"ExtremeWireless should fix some general bugs and make the user interface more user-friendly."

"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."

"Cloud integration needs to be improved."

"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."

"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."

"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."

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

"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use. As a partner, you can use the solution for free, for thirty days, for example. On paper, everything looks fine, but you have to get permission and explain why you want to download the software, even if it's just for demo purposes. I don't get why I have to do this as a partner and still give an explanation that this would be for a demo setup. Downloading the solution isn't a click-and-install process that should go smoothly and efficiently. You have to get a lot of approvals and explain a lot, and in the end, you find out that you received the approval for one piece of software. It looks like you need additional software to use the software. My company asked for approval and received the approval three days later, but you need to install another software to use some of the features. In the past, most features were separate. Because Huawei wants a single pane of glass where all features should work with the Huawei equipment, Huawei decided to combine everything into the iMaster NCE Campus, which incorporates every other cloud solution. However, you still have to ask for approval for every piece of software, and without clear information on the features, the type of software, and the software files required, it's not so good from my point of view."

"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 price of the solution overall is expensive. Additionally, the controller and license are expensive. We pay for an annual subscription."

"ExtremeWireless is subscription-based for both cloud and on-prem solutions, and it's quite expensive."

"We pay approximately $30,000 per year."

"The solution has a yearly subscription, and we have to pay additional costs for technical support."

"There are both paid and free licenses of the cloud environment, with only basic functionality in the free version."

"Extreme isn't the most expensive, but it's not a low-cost solution, and because there are no big volumes, you don't receive significant discounts, making the final price higher."

"ExtremeWireless isn't budget-friendly. The hardware costs around 20,000 Indian rupees. We're still using an older controller, so it doesn't require a license, unlike the newest versions of the ExtremeWireless controller."

"The solution is priced well and we currently are only paying for a license for maintenance."

"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."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."

"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"I pay monthly for the solution."

"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."

"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."

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