Pros

"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"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 reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."
"Mist is a really good tool that provides essential AI information from an operational point of view, covering both wireless and switching."
"Has an extremely good feature set."
"If you compare wired versus wireless, it's convenient. You don't need to have one place for connectivity. You can move around and it's easier. Sometimes it's a hassle to work with wires, which is why wireless is so convenient."
"The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."
"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"AI-driven automation helps implement the solution quickly."
"Regarding features, the solution seems to be very intuitive."
 

Cons

"They should include more security features in the solution."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved."
"Technical support could be better."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"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."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"There seems to be different versions of standards used in the wireless access points. In the future, it would be helpful if the solution could come up with some kind of universal standard for all devices and all access points."
"Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it."
"There are some technical issues that may require attention"
"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."
"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."
"Configuration could be improved."
"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."
"The support needs improvement. Since the merger or integration between Mist AI and Cloud and HP, it has affected service quality negatively."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"Depending on the features, I think it's quite reasonably priced, especially considering the facilities of the product."
"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."
"The price is not cheap, but it's a reliable solution and very easy for management."
"Mist AI and Cloud is expensive."
"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 solution is expensive in Brazil."
"The custom licensing is a little bit expensive and I would rate it 7.5 out of 10."
"The price of this product is approximately the same as competing products in the market."
