Technical Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Has improved troubleshooting efficiency with AI-driven insights but requires a simpler user interface
Mist AI and Cloud has integrated artificial intelligence and introduced a Marvis tool, making troubleshooting much easier compared to Cisco, Extreme, or any other vendor. The Marvis tool includes Marvis Action and Marvis Mini. In Marvis Mini, you can enter the MAC address, site name, or device name to get complete details of any issues the device is facing. If you enter the MAC address of a device, it will show the types of issues such as roaming, authentication, or IP address problems. This eliminates the need to manually search for errors on the controller. The troubleshooting has been significantly simplified through Marvis Mini, which is integrated with AI. Additionally, Marvis Action helps with alerting and monitoring, showing how many devices are down and what kinds of connectivity, DHCP, or authentication issues exist, providing alerts without the need to manually monitor all devices. Mist AI and Cloud is very effective at managing user experience through its AI capabilities. It helps reduce downtime by providing alerts that allow us to work directly on issues without waiting for system failures.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think it's a good technology. I like that it transparently connects with LDAP. The technology has a lot of capacity for WiFi six. It provides notifications, and there are many ways to connect with fiber. There is an electrical tool, and you can put an SFP transceiver. There are also many ways to implement antennas."
"Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology."
"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."
"The handover is seamless whenever the users connect to the access point."
"The AI deployment process involves adding access points and placing them in the designated area. The AI system automatically adjusts channel selection and transmission power without any issues with stability or throughput. It has improved network performance."
"The most valuable aspect is that they operate on small microservices, offering numerous open APIs that enhance the value of our Wi-Fi network. This flexibility allows us to optimize various aspects such as workforce planning and occupancy management. The platform is highly open in the market, providing robust APIs for seamless integration with other tools. Currently, we leverage these capabilities at a building site, incorporating IoT sensors to gather data. The collected data is stored in a centralized location, and we plan to use AI for analysis. This analysis will include insights on peak activity times, humidity levels, temperature variations, and other relevant metrics within the building."
"This solution helps customers save time and fix problems proactively."
"Regarding features, the solution seems to be very intuitive."
"Natural language patching is an important feature."
"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."
"The tool's best part is the GUI. It is user-friendly and fast due to AI features. The solution can help you fix things with AI, which is impressive."
"The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."
 

Cons

"There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"Technical support is not great. Whenever I open a case, I don't get any immediate support."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"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."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"Configuration could be improved."
"There could be more integration."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"In future releases, they need to add some router models. Because currently, it supports only SSR and WAN routers. But adding other routers would be good."
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"Right now, my company made a one-time purchase of Huawei Wireless. It depends, but in most of the projects where customers buy hardware with some software, it's a one-time purchase. Customers pay a yearly fee for other projects for support and additional software features, such as email protection firmware updates for cybersecurity. You'll also receive information about the latest attacks and get more protection if you pay an additional fee apart from the standard license fee. You'll also get an additional warranty for Huawei Wireless, a yearly contract."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"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 comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."
"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."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"Mist AI and Cloud is expensive."
"The price is not cheap, but it's a reliable solution and very easy for management."
"The solution is expensive in Brazil."
"The solution's price is too high for the end-users. My customers pay 1,000 USD towards the licensing cost of the solution every year."
"The price of Mist AI and Cloud is approximately 20 percent less than competitors, such as Aruba and Cisco. However, Cisco has a lifetime warranty for its solutions."
"I rate the pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high."
"The price is about the same compared to other vendors. There is an add-on license, but it's up to you if you want to buy it or not."
"Depending on the features, I think it's quite reasonably priced, especially considering the facilities of the product."
