We performed a comparison between Huawei Enterprise Routers and Prisma SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two WAN Edge solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I use the product to connect to various access points to extend my network."
"The product is very reasonably priced."
"It is a robust and efficient solution."
"I have been able to connect the solution to many platforms such as Windows, Apple, and Android."
"The scalability is good."
"The solution offers good customer support and good performance."
"The product is good, easy to manage , and works fine."
"The product is easy to improve and deploy in terms of configuration for engineers and technical executives."
"Prisma SD-WAN is intuitive. We have a better idea of the different tools we can use and jump between the menus quickly."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"I like that the integration with Palo Alto is easy."
"Prisma supports all of the applications we're currently using."
"The gateway is available on the cloud which allows you access from anywhere and still connects to your home gateway."
"If the MPLS goes down, there is a really smooth transition for a branch site to take traffic over the Internet. It will advertise the routes of that site in a jiffy."
"When it comes to supporting large, complex, network architectures, it's a very simple architecture. The main component is the fabric. It's very easy to troubleshoot if there is an issue happening in the underlying network."
"I like the link monitoring and analytics. These are the features that set Prisma apart from other products. Prisma works well with large, complex networks. One of my clients is a top bank in the United States, and Prisma has performed well for that customer."
"Lacks sufficient market availability."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better bandwidth management, more granular web filtering, and portal authentication."
"It would be better if local storage management was more flexible, so that unused data could be easily removed."
"The configuration is complex and should be simplified."
"We have encountered issues while integrating the product with Enterprise Management Systems. Huawei platform is good for Huawei but we face issues when we integrate it with other models."
"In my country we don't have Huawei technology, we only have Huawei routers for ISP. There is no agent for Huawei in Egypt."
"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."
"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."
"Prisma could be a little cheaper."
"We are incorporating their zone-based firewalls. Prisma SD-WAN has limited documentation on how it manipulates traffic, e.g., how it is interacting with TCP and UDP. We recently had some traffic that was black holing. We literally had to do packet captures to see that the new zone-based firewall, which runs on top of Prisma SD-WAN, was causing issues."
"There are two parallel things that we want Palo Alto to work on. First, customers want a unified appliance that does the work of all firewalls in addition to SD-WAN. Second, the cloud presence should be completely automated. If I purchase the SASE architecture, I shouldn't worry about deployments in Prisma Access or on Prisma SD-WAN. It should be deployed in one go."
"Sometimes, during the product's initial setup phase, bypass pair or couple ports don't come up normally, and it requires an hour and a half to troubleshoot to reset the box from Prisma SD-WAN to factory default."
"I would also like to see improvement in the product training for customers. Palo Alto has not initiated very much training but they have to do so because this is a new product. If you have experience in a legacy environment, and you are moving to Prisma SD-WAN, you don't have a training framework. That is one of the disadvantages."
"The tool needs to work on price and complexity."
"I'd like to see them move more towards CASB."
"Prisma SD-WAN's technical support should be improved."
