We performed a comparison between ExtremeCloud IQ and Huawei Wireless based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."What's most valuable for me in ExtremeCloud IQ is easy management. It also has centralized administration, so you don't have to go to the customer site to program it. It can be programmed remotely."
"The support organization behind this product is extremely professional."
"The cloud-based controller through HiveManager is its most valuable feature. I can manage and configure changes to my access points from anywhere."
"The cloud-based management interface allows us to fully manage all our wireless radios, ensuring consistency and ease of access."
"What our customers like the most is that this device is so rugged. It has very good performance and throughput. Its console is very easy to use and has many features, which makes it different from its competitors. Cloud IQ has all the features built into the console, whereas other solutions require you to integrate multiple solutions with their consoles. You don't need to add anything extra with Cloud IQ. With this single solution, you can do almost everything."
"This solution's most valuable feature is its short deployment time."
"Our transaction polling is now way more secure."
"Ability to assign zero trust policies from the user."
"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology."
"It can scale."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"I think it's a good technology. I like that it transparently connects with LDAP. The technology has a lot of capacity for WiFi six. It provides notifications, and there are many ways to connect with fiber. There is an electrical tool, and you can put an SFP transceiver. There are also many ways to implement antennas."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"The Virtual Appliance crashed once while doing an upgrade. The good thing here is, even if the management system fails, all our networks and features still remain 100% stable and working."
"Their firewall configuration gets funky and it can be difficult to understand."
"Integrating the network access control solution can be complex, as it essentially combines two separate products."
"ExtremeCloud IQ’s user interface needs to be improved, and its current bugs need to be fixed."
"The solution's performance needs to be enhanced because of a very high delay."
"The dashboard and stability need to be improved."
"The solution will show us that there are some issues, but when we try to find those issues, we can't see them."
"Its price could be lower. It is a simplified solution, but it has price challenges. It is costly as compared to other solutions. It has almost everything. The only thing is that MAC is not possible on the cloud, and it has to be on-premises."
"The manageability could be improved."
"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"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 should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
