Chi-Zhang - PeerSpot reviewer
Has excellent scalability and is cost-effective compared to its competitors
The solution is reasonably priced and easy to configure. By collaborating with Aruba, they have integrated more products to streamline the porting process. Our project team comprises two or three network engineers for regular maintenance and troubleshooting. The workload is not heavy. I rate the solution as an eight and recommend it to network engineers and solution providers.
ChimeremezeNwabueze - PeerSpot reviewer
Beneficial cloud connected networking, knowledgeable support, and reliable
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. In an upcoming release, they should add more integration for mobile applications with the capability of management monitoring the network remotely.
