ExtremeWireless vs Huawei Wireless comparison

"The solution is easy to use and manage. Overall it is very simple to understand and users do not know it is a cloud solution."

"The wireless security solution is the most valuable feature of ExtremeWireless."

"ExtremeWireless is known for its strong security engine, Air Defense, which provides necessary wireless security assistance to many of my customers."

"ExtremeWireless is a flexible solution."

"The central control is valuable."

"ExtremeWireless has good performance."

"ExtremeWireless offers profiles, policies, and tags."

"It's reliable and works well. It's pretty stable."

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

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

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

"I have a very good experience with this product, so I'm very satisfied with it."

"The most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems. Its price is very nice. The other WiFi systems cost about 15% more."

"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology, and there are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility, options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself, and its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."

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

"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."

"The management portal is in need of improvement."

"The cost of this product is also somewhat on the higher side as compared to the other devices."

"There are concerns regarding the stability of ExtremeWireless. It could be an area of improvement, especially when compared to previous solutions such as Motorola before their acquisition."

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

"Technical support is an area that needs to be improved."

"They could provide different product models. Additionally, there could be a feature to manage devices."

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

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

"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."

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

"Huawei Wireless is not scalable. We have had a problem with the solution because it cannot integrate with other servers as the other competitors can."

"There was one time I had a problem with their centralized licensing. I called the Indian call center, but the response was not that good. One guy attended this call and he told me, "Definitely, I am forwarding your call to the next level. I'll let you know." After that, it took between 10 to 15 hours before I got a call back. By then, we had already resolved the issue. Therefore, they could improve the local support; there should be at very good Tier 1 and 2 support in India. They should be both proactive and reactive."

"The solution could be easier to use."

"The manageability could be improved."

"The solution needs to include a captive portal."

"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."

"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."

"The license cost per AP is about $150 USD."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"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."

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

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

"Our access points device is at its end of life. I can buy one more and then I must buy a new device, but if it is a new device it will not support the old virtual appliance. I would need to upgrade our virtual appliance to the next version or build a new virtual appliance with new devices, and it's not good for us. The overall licensing subscription could be better."

"It's not as expensive as some and is scalable to our needs."

"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."

"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."

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

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."

"Extras come with a surcharge."
