Effective and extensive campus Wi-Fi with room for better frequency management
We have deployed Huawei CCTV solutions at multiple universities in Pakistan. This includes Huawei Wireless for Smart Campus projects, where we provide blanket Wi-Fi coverage and Safe Campus projects, where we deploy security cameras and multiple devices to monitor the campus Huawei Wireless has…

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is easy to set up."
"It is easy to set up."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"From an implementation perspective, it's easy. I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup."
"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"Allows end users to roam the office and be productive wireless without being plugged into an Ethernet cable."
"Customer service is very good, and they have very experienced engineers on the site I worked on."
"There weren't any scalability issues, the product did what it had to do."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The Artificial Intelligence on offer is very useful."
"The installation process is nice and easy."
"Juniper WLC Series is a very high-performance device designed for indoor wireless deployment."
"It is a very, very scalable solution and also has very, very good and very powerful programmability and open API interfaces."
 

Cons

"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 scalability could be better."
"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."
"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"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."
"Juniper WLC Series has certain shortcomings in traffic monitoring."
"The solution could offer more integration with other products."
"The biggest issue was that Juniper stopped developing, so we had to look for another solution."
"The support on offer to other vendors switching - like Aruba or Ruckus - could be improved."
"The solution should create configuration documentation."
"Juniper lacks a network access control agent similar to solutions like Alubakya Path and Cisco ISE."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"The product has a good price."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"Its price is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"The product is relatively affordable for enterprise companies."
