Beneficial technology, reliable, and simple deployment

Reliable border connectivity with responsive support but there's room for more intuitive documentation
The documentation is somewhat lacking and not easy to navigate. There are some errors and misleading information. The general appearance of the company site is also not user-friendly for downloading firmware. Firmware updates should be more straightforward. More security features would be appreciated, however, they should be easy to understand and implement.

"Internet access is a good feature."
"The product is easy to improve and deploy in terms of configuration for engineers and technical executives."
"The setup is simple."
"When we started, the connection was amazing for the 100G between the switches and the co-switch. What the students typically use for school is a maximum is 40 so they now have faster technology."

Cons

"FatPipe SD-WAN can improve the price to scale the solution."
"We'd like the product to be more flexible so that we could more easily manipulate some of the features."
"Huawei needs to be a bit more open with their licensing model. Essentially, they need to open their licensing model such that when a customer buys a device, they have a full view of all of the available licenses for it."
"Huawei Enterprise Routers can improve by enhancing their security. The software architecture and the operating system that runs on their router and the security capability are not as strong when compared to Cisco."
"The configuration is complex and should be simplified."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better bandwidth management, more granular web filtering, and portal authentication."
"Syntax in the implementation process could be easier to understand for a new user or someone who doesn’t have prior experience using the product."
"In my country we don't have Huawei technology, we only have Huawei routers for ISP. There is no agent for Huawei in Egypt."
"There are some complexities with the configuration; if they could improve that it would make a big difference."
