Huawei Wireless Reviews

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We have different vendors we work with. We work with Cisco and Aruba as well.

What other advice do I have?

It's a pretty good solution. The design has to be right. If the design is done properly and the conditions are right, it's a stellar product. It would probably be a seven or eight out of ten.

What is most valuable?

The handover is seamless whenever the users connect to the access point. The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions.

What needs improvement?

Technical support needs to be improved. The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

In comparison to Cisco, the pricing isn't bad.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used Cisco wireless. We switched due to a decision made by our management team.

What other advice do I have?

We're a consultant and support many companies and end-users. We use the 5060 and 6020 access points, among others. We use the private cloud deployment model for medium-sized companies. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides.

What other advice do I have?

In terms of advice I'd give to others considering implementing the solution is that it's easy to use if they use an access controller. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I'd rate it higher but they don't offer a good technical guide which means you ultimately need to search and try out solutions for yourself.
