Cons
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"The only problem I see is configuration loss.""The product’s performance could be better.""There is not much of a technical team for Huawei available in Pakistan as compared to Cisco with respect to very complex networks.""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.""We'd like the product to be more flexible so that we could more easily manipulate some of the features.""The configuration is complex and should be simplified.""The internet service for enterprise bundle should be improved.""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."

More Huawei Enterprise Routers Cons →

"If MikroTik had a marketing team and support team in India then it would be much easier for us to get the product, as well as support.""Antispam and antivirus features should be included in the future.""The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version.""It happens that you may find your network is down, if you reboot the switch, they come up. However, sometimes, they reset themselves. That's a big issue.""Stuff that I'd like to be improved is really just training and documentation because I think the feature set is full. Another improvement I'd suggest is that their new, bigger releases should be a bit more stable.""Technical support could be better.""The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved.""Improvements are needed with respect to some of the security, especially for VPN links between vendors other than Cisco."
