More Broadcom StrataConnect Cons →

"The configuration is very difficult even for someone who is already familiar with the configuration process.""There are some support issues.""It could potentially be difficult to get parts depending on where you live.""We had a few issues with integration.""Certain regulatory issues in a lot of countries cause limitations .""I would like the tool to improve its operational efficiency, speed, security features, and functionalities.""The documentation needs to be better.""Huawei Switch can make further advancements, as the current CLI lacks functionality. The majority of tasks are performed through the CLI, making it difficult for those without technical expertise to work with. They should enhance the CLI of the access switches to make them more user-friendly. The GUI of the Ethernet Switches should also be improved to allow non-technical users to perform technical tasks with ease. Additionally, the documentation of the solution could improve."
