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.

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

"The solution is easy to set up."

"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."

"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."

"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."

"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."

"The handover is seamless whenever the users connect to the access point."

"The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features."

"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"Has an extremely good feature set."

"Mist AI and Cloud is ideal as we move towards the AI world."

"Multi PSK (Pre-shared Key) is a very good feature in the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."

"The cost is the most valuable aspect of this solution."

"Ability to control the access points by groups."

"The product feature set is extremely good and there was lots of visibility into different things that were not only network-related."

"The product is good, and I would say that there is no concern with the product, and everything is manageable."

More Mist AI and Cloud pros

Cons

"Technical support is not great. Whenever I open a case, I don't get any immediate support."

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

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

"Huawei Wireless is not scalable. We have had a problem with the solution because it cannot integrate with other servers as the other competitors can."

"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 of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."

"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."

"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"Regarding opportunities for improvement in Mist, it is notable for its robust cloud portal and integration of artificial intelligence into various services, creating a highly efficient environment for work. However, a drawback lies in the cost associated with its WiFi offerings. With a pricing range of twelve hundred to fifteen hundred dollars for a single Access Point, exclusive of the subscription, it is acknowledged as a relatively expensive solution in the realm of WiFi services. Despite this drawback, the positive attributes of Mist make it a noteworthy option."

"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."

"The area for improvement is that Juniper is not as market dominant as Cisco, so they should focus on making their GUI more user-friendly, as it is currently a bit complex and users may not fully understand the available features."

"The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently."

"The solution lacks documentation."

"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."

"Configuration could be improved."

"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Its price is reasonable."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."

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

"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 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."

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"The custom licensing is a little bit expensive and I would rate it 7.5 out of 10."

"The annual cost is a significant issue for us, and it notably contributes to the overall price. We have a customer with nearly fifty-eight access points in a multifunctional building, and while the setup was relatively simple, the yearly licensing cost is substantial. For the specific features we utilize, the licensing amounts to about forty thousand euros annually. This is not a trivial expense and significantly impacts the overall cost, making it quite high."

"I rate the pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high."

"The solution is expensive in Brazil."

"Depending on the features, I think it's quite reasonably priced, especially considering the facilities of the product."

"The price is not cheap, but it's a reliable solution and very easy for management."

"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."
