"From an implementation perspective, it's easy. I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup.""It provides high-speed network connections.""It has all of the features that we need.""We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs).""The solution is easy to set up.""The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations.""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 most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."

Cons
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""The pricing should be made cheaper."

"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had.""The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use. As a partner, you can use the solution for free, for thirty days, for example. On paper, everything looks fine, but you have to get permission and explain why you want to download the software, even if it's just for demo purposes. I don't get why I have to do this as a partner and still give an explanation that this would be for a demo setup. Downloading the solution isn't a click-and-install process that should go smoothly and efficiently. You have to get a lot of approvals and explain a lot, and in the end, you find out that you received the approval for one piece of software. It looks like you need additional software to use the software. My company asked for approval and received the approval three days later, but you need to install another software to use some of the features. In the past, most features were separate. Because Huawei wants a single pane of glass where all features should work with the Huawei equipment, Huawei decided to combine everything into the iMaster NCE Campus, which incorporates every other cloud solution. However, you still have to ask for approval for every piece of software, and without clear information on the features, the type of software, and the software files required, it's not so good from my point of view.""The speed could be a bit better.""Price is one of the major problems of the solution, and because of this, our company's customers want to migrate to some other product from Huawei.""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.""The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides.""While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience.""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."

More Huawei Wireless Cons →

"The solution should create configuration documentation.""There could be a high level of security.""The support on offer to other vendors switching - like Aruba or Ruckus - could be improved.""The biggest issue was that Juniper stopped developing, so we had to look for another solution.""We would prefer it if the solution could be less expensive.""The solution could offer more integration with other products.""There could be more information from the controller, and it could be easier to work with the controller lights. It's not easy to bring up the upgrades."
