Cons
"The support could improve."

More Broadcom StrataXGS Cons →

"The product should improve cloud capability.""The solution can improve by adding virtualized switch functionality.""Dashboard could be improved.""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.""Huawei Ethernet Switches should improve its user interface.""Connectivity is an area that needs improvement in the solution. Interconnectivity with third-party versions or Cisco Meraki should be made available to users in future releases of the solution.""It is not easy to use if you need to monitor, patch or update. It needs to be configured by a network specialist because it doesn't have an overall central monitoring tool or anything like that. I'd say no ease of use.""Huawei Ethernet Switches are scalable but can be improved."
