Easy to install and configure
Pros and Cons
  • "Installation is easy."
  • "While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."

What is our primary use case?

I do not recall which version we are using. 

I utilize the solution for personal internet use, on the Ethernet. 

What needs improvement?

While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Huawei Wireless for the past couple of years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I am not in a position to comment on the solution's scalability. 

I do not have plans to increase the usage, as I do not see a need for this. 

How are customer service and support?

We have not been in contact with technical support. 

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

I did not use other solutions prior to the current one. 

How was the initial setup?

Installation is easy. We are not talking about a one-click installation for all. Once installed, a person can configure the solution to his needs. 

What about the implementation team?

I was not involved in hardware installation and have no knowledge of it. This is not handled by me, but by the technicians who visit the site. When it comes to installing software, this we can do on our own by following the instructions. 

The technical team required for the deployment depends on the service provider. 

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

While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would glad if it were cheaper. 

Extras come with a surcharge, although, as I have not made use of these, I cannot comment on their prices. 

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I am satisfied with the solution. 

I would recommend it to others. My advice would vary with the personal use one wishes to make of the solution. 

I rate Huawei Wireless as a nine out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

A wireless technology that transparently connects with LDAP
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "Technical support could be better."

How has it helped my organization?

Huawei is a good brand for the business. 

What is most valuable?

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. 

What needs improvement?

Technical support could be better.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Huawei Wireless is very stable. However, sometimes it will overheat if it's not in a cool place. But if you have a good configuration, you won't have any problems with it.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support could be better. They are difficult to reach and take about four or five hours to respond. It's only one guy here in Mexico, and he has very good knowledge about the product. Some of the documentation on the website is restricted, and we need permission to access it.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward. It takes about ten minutes to install and deploy this solution.

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

Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace.

What other advice do I have?

I would tell potential users that it all depends on the support. It's not easy to get Huawei Wireless support in Mexico.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Huawei Wireless an eight.

Straightforward deployment, scalable, and stable
Pros and Cons
  • "We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
  • "I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use."

What is our primary use case?

Huawei Wireless offers multiple features. To best suit the customer environment, I suggest centralized deployment, as opposed to distributed deployment. Through this deployment, one controller monitors all Access Points (APs), allowing the customer to establish a secure tunnel connection with the controller for maximum protection.

What is most valuable?

We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs). Additionally, we can also provide antivirus protection and content filtering for further security.

What needs improvement?

I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

As long as there are no loopholes in the network the solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Huawei's scalability is rated highly in both the Forrester Wave and Gartner ratings, typically receiving a score of eight out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

I have opened a number of cases concerning various issues, including wireless and Huawei router and switch deployment in another customer environment. I have received good support from the technical team in response to these cases.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of the Huawei Wireless environment is straightforward and user-friendly. I deployed the solution in the customer environment within two or three days. After that, the customer had requirements for their success criteria of the POC, which will take another one to two weeks.

What about the implementation team?

We implement the solution for our clients.

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

Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers.

What other advice do I have?

I have personally used the Huawei Wireless Solution and deployed it in my customer environment. It has all the features needed and I would rate it an eight out of ten.

I'm currently working as a lead technical consultant, meeting with clients to understand their issues and then providing solutions such as Wi-Fi, wireless, network, and security solutions. Recently, I was able to give a comprehensive overview of a wireless solution, including details and integration with multiple products such as Cisco IOS.

We currently have three clients using the solution and have proposed the solution to several new clients.

I highly recommend Huawei products. As a distributor of Huawei in Pakistan, I can provide insight into why their products are beneficial for customers.
