What the students typically use for school is a maximum is 40 so they now have faster technology."
"Internet access is a good feature."
"There is a lot of information available about routers and how to configure Huawei Routers right now."
"The product has valuable support services."
"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable features for us are NAT, ATS, server capabilities, VPN tunneling, and management."
"Overall we have found the solution to be satisfactory."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It gives you that level of visibility to understand what's going on between layer four and layer seven."
"It supports desktop management, network management, and SD-WAN policies."

"My customers use the solution to have better control and knowledge about the applications inside ONE Access. It also helps them cut costs by reducing MPLs and using better internet access from FTTH."
"The solution is more specific about what's happening since it explains where the problem may lie and points out areas where there is a problem. So, we like that it provides more visibility."
"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."
"The solution's technical support could be improved."
"The product’s performance could be better."
"We have found we have to restart the routers or reconfigured them a lot of the time, this issue should improve. The quality of the hardware needs to be more durable."

"If Huawei can use its own OEM processor, it could be a good step up for future use in the network devices."
"We'd like the product to be more flexible so that we could more easily manipulate some of the features."
"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."
"Areas for improvement in the Juniper Contrail SD-WAN solution include the on-premises deployment process."
"The training could be better. When it comes to the demo dashboard capability, I feel like it could be much easier for our customers to use. Our last customer complained about this."
"The only issue was the switch we got, which was a little problematic because it was PoC equipment, and we had a little problem with that."
"The solution is expensive. Its support can be better."
