"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.""This solution has issues with bugs and instability.""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.""The solution needs to include a captive portal.""The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides.""The solution could be easier to use.""The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks.""The stability could be improved."

More Huawei Wireless Cons →

"Inability to import a user with one click.""I don't think they're available at the best price.""The price of this solution needs to reviewed, as it is currently high enough to deter customers from trying it.""One of the things is if you buy it with a certain subscription, you can't easily change the subscription level.""If a client device had issues with authentication due to out of date browser or similar difficulties, it would be nice to have the ability to migrate the client onto the portal via one click.""The solution can be scaled but it has limitations from my experience."
