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.

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.

More Juniper WLC Series pros

Cons

"The stability could be improved."

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

"Technical support could be better."

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

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

"The scalability could be a bit better."

"The solution needs to include a captive portal."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"We would prefer it if the solution could be less expensive."

"There could be more information from the controller, and it could be easier to work with the controller lights. It's not easy to bring up the upgrades."

"The network coverage of Juniper WLC Series and Cisco is different. We need to add additional access points."

"Juniper WLC Series has certain shortcomings in traffic monitoring."

"The solution should create configuration documentation."

"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."

"WLCv was a product at the being of its evolution, so there was room for improvement there."

More Juniper WLC Series cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I pay monthly for the solution."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."

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

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

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

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

"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"Juniper WLC Series is a bit pricey but worth its cost."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

"The licensing cost is quite high, but considering it's an enterprise solution, the complexity justifies the price."

"The product is relatively affordable for enterprise companies."

"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."
