Reasonably priced product with a straightforward deployment process

I never thought about what could be made better in the product since my company is a customer-centric organization where we provide Aruba or NETGEAR, depending on the demands and needs of our customers. The product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward. It would be great if it was possible to send notifications regarding some errors related to the product that can be sent from our company to our clients through the organization's post-sales team.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Installation is easy."

"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."

"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."

"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."

"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 product is simple and easy to use."

"It can scale."

"Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"[Being] able to configure the WiFi devices and to see utilization remotely, or from the cloud."

"The metrics demonstrate that NETGEAR really does a good job of balancing the load between the various access points on the networks and this results in an elimination of downtime."

"I'm able to do a lot of things, because the GUI is designed very well. I'm able to remotely make certain changes via my phone and apply them right away. It makes life easier when it comes to managing the equipment. The Insight management solution phone app is very good. It enables me to do what I want to do."

"I now have the ability to remote access my network. That works extremely well. I can access it from any place. I don't need to be physically at the device. This saves me on time and travel."

"From the WiFi aspect, it's very intuitive and easy to use. The solution enables me to manage my entire WiFi from anywhere in the world..."

"The meshing capabilities are the most valuable feature. When I am going in-between buildings, my phone doesn't have to pick up different WiFi. They are all the same. Even in-between the buildings, I stay connected."

"I am all about simplicity. With the Insight management solution, I don’t need an additional cloud controller, appliance, network manager, or PC/server to configure and manage my access points. You have to look at cost, and everything has a cost. There is a cost to using Insight. But if the cost is reasonable, I don't want another layer. The ability to deploy a network and then have that software built-in, without having to go to a third-party, is big. Also, the less pieces that I have to call in on, the better. So, when I'm calling NETGEAR, it's not like I'm using some third-party piece of software to manage their product. It doesn't add that layer of complexity, which is key."

"The product's deployment is straightforward."

Cons

"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."

"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."

"The speed could be a bit better."

"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."

"Technical support could be better."

"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."

"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."

"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."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"A con is the backend system which is very, very slow."

"The pricing and standard connectivity can be further improved."

"Ubiquiti is a very good company. NETGEAR should look at that model and expand on its remote capabilities. Ubiquiti seems to have a better product."

"The biggest issue I've had is that it works very well with the WiFi, but it does not offer any assistance at all with the routers. You can't control them or manage them at all. As soon as you want to use anything on the network side—because I have multiple 28-port switches—you can't manage them using this app."

"While the data throughput does provide us with full insight into data being used, we find that it's not very accurate."

"There is always room for improvement."

"The registration is annoying. I have to go back to NETGEAR and log tickets. Access points and router registration are something that they need to address in Insight. They need to fix the bug of getting the devices activated and enrolled in Insight without fighting with them. I have probably done about six of these in the last month. You get to see patterns."

"I have some frustrations with the ease of use. It tends to be sluggish. The graphical interface is pretty, but not useful. They have this tree that shows connected devices, which makes no sense whatsoever because the labeling field of the tree truncates all the items to the point that it's almost useless. You can't even tell what it is. I would prefer a spreadsheet list of the gear as opposed to a graphical representation."

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is reasonable."

"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."

"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

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

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

"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."

"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 is good for the solution and there is a license required."

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"It is an expensive solution."

"The pricing seems to be reasonable."

"For what you get, the price of Insight access points is very reasonable."

"We have some basic models they give without a license."

"Price-wise, it is a little too high, about $20 higher than what it should be, but it's worth it. It's cheaper than Cisco's access point, but the products are not apples to apples."

"It wasn't much more than 100 dollars a year. For the devices that we have, the pricing was pretty fair."

"Their pricing is perfect for smaller businesses who are money and budget conscious. There are a lot of other solutions out there that are two to three times more expensive."

"I think that the price of the product is reasonable."
