"When new versions are deployed they tend to be a little buggy, so they should be more fully tested before release."
"Improvements are needed for the responsive UI and JIT traffic reporting."
"There should be a bit more automation."
"One issue is integration. Huawei can't detect Indicators of Compromise (IoC). I can get a lot of information about security, but can't automatically input the EP, domain URL, and file hashes I get from Hackersworld into my blocklist."
"There needs to be more security equipment for the solution."
"The WAF capability in the Huawei Firewall is missing."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"Wi-Fi scanning and Wi-Fi analysis would be useful features to include in the future."
"Huawei NGFW should have better reporting and a dashboard for the visibility of traffic."
"I would like to see an antivirus solution included with the product."
"The IPS feature must be improved."
