Effective and extensive campus Wi-Fi with room for better frequency management

AI-driven optimization enhances network management and reduces hardware needs
In my region, access to the product is very difficult and presents a logistical nightmare. Also, pricing is a big problem and a barrier to entry when selling Juniper against competitors. Furthermore, the knowledge of the product's capabilities is not understood properly by those selling it, leading to overselling and overquoting.

Pros

"It provides high-speed network connections."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."

Cons

"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"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."
"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"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."
"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."
"The manageability could be improved."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"The support on offer to other vendors switching - like Aruba or Ruckus - could be improved."
"The biggest issue was that Juniper stopped developing, so we had to look for another solution."
"In my region, access to the product is very difficult and presents a logistical nightmare."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"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 one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"Its price is reasonable."

"I pay monthly for the solution."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"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 solution's pricing is reasonable."
"Juniper WLC Series is a bit pricey but worth its cost."
"The licensing cost is quite high, but considering it's an enterprise solution, the complexity justifies the price."
"There is a certain amount that needs to be paid towards the licensing charges associated with the product, but though I am not sure, I feel the licenses that we have in our company are for three years."
"The product is relatively affordable for enterprise companies."
