We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It allows us to prepare more real designs. Later, we validate them with actual surveys.""The predictive survey is the most valuable feature. I use it quite often.""Customer service is great.""Using the products to ensure the safety of our equipment that we have a lot invested in.""The most valuable feature is the predictive survey. The antennas' RF patterns are reflected correctly on the drawing when preparing predictive heat maps.""I would like to rate the product as eight of ten.""The heat maps are quite good, and some features are easy to use.""The most valuable features are the survey, spectrum analysis, and reporting."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""The product is simple and easy to use.""The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features.""That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac.""The solution is easy to set up.""The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use.""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.""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."

Cons
"The throughput should be more advanced in the future. They need to add more versions of WiFi than just one.""It would be nice to have some more training resources for younger techs. We can use them if we need some assistance, but that usually requires one of us who knows what we're doing to calibrate the programs properly.""When you conduct an active survey and then want to use it for design work, it's actually not very useful.""AirMagnet Survey doesn't cover certain devices in the system.""But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones.""Less time consumed doing the real surveys.""The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability.""Printouts are JPEG printouts. The AirMagnet software is proprietary. I can't send my customers a file, because it is AirMagnet file, even for building projects. I can only send JPEGs or screenshots of heat maps."

More AirMagnet Survey Cons →

"The security of the solution could be better in the future.""I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior.""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 stability could be improved.""They should include more security features in the solution.""Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak.""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."

  • "We don't have any control on the pricing. This comes from Huawei in India. Pricing-wise, Huawei is very aggressive and competitive if you compare them to competitors, like Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus. The Indian Huawei team tells us, "Just pick up the order and design the infrastructure. If there are any pricing challenge, we'll work on that and we will try to match things 100 percent.""
  • "Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."
  • "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."
  • "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 is good for the solution and there is a license required."
  • "It is very cost-effective."
  • "Extras come with a surcharge."
  • "The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
