Effective and extensive campus Wi-Fi with room for better frequency management

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.

Pros

"What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas."
"The product is easy to use, the signal is very stable with very good performance, and for network devices it is great."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"It can scale."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"The handover is seamless whenever the users connect to the access point."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"Natural language patching is an important feature."
"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."
"Multi PSK (Pre-shared Key) is a very good feature in the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Has an extremely good feature set."
"Mist AI and Cloud is ideal as we move towards the AI world."
"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."
"The cost is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The most useful aspect of Mist AI and Cloud is automation capabilities."
 

Cons

"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."
"The stability could be improved."
"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"What needs improvement in Huawei Wireless is after-sales support. I've faced many after-sales support issues, so that's the area I want Huawei to improve. Having an SLA with customers is what I'd suggest to Huawei Wireless."
"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"We are experiencing some challenges in terms of technical support; it's not readily available."
"There could be more integration."
"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
"The support needs improvement. Since the merger or integration between Mist AI and Cloud and HP, it has affected service quality negatively."
"Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Extras come with a surcharge."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"Its price is reasonable."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"Mist AI and Cloud is expensive."
