Huawei Wireless vs Juniper WLC Series comparison

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

"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 product is simple and easy to use."

"It is easy to set up."

"It has all of the features that we need."

"You can add a lot of features, such as cloud, integration with IoT, etc. They have a lot of options available but the top feature is the performance."

"The solution offers very good value for money."

"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."

"The tool has given us more visibility, but I'm not very technical, so I can't comment on specific features. However, the diagnostic tools for identifying system issues have greatly improved, which we appreciate. We still use Cisco ICE for authentication on the Juniper network, as we did before. We've seen cost benefits with the Juniper WLC Series, which was a key factor in our decision-making during the proof of concept. Besides cost improvements, we've also noticed better resolution of issues and faults in our help desk, thanks to the enhanced features."

"It is a very stable solution."

"The installation process is very easy."

"Juniper Wireless is reasonable, with a bit of complexity compared to Alibaba and SQL."

"The Artificial Intelligence on offer is very useful."

"It prevents a large number of unauthorized modifications of access point devices."

"There weren't any scalability issues, the product did what it had to do."

"Juniper WLC Series is a very high-performance device designed for indoor wireless deployment."

"The solution could be easier to use."

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

"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."

"Cloud integration needs to be improved."

"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."

"Technical support could be better."

"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 security of the solution could be better in the future."

"The solution should create configuration documentation."

"The support on offer to other vendors switching - like Aruba or Ruckus - could be improved."

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."

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

"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."

"It is very cost-effective."

"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."

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

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
