The solution is power efficient, stable, and provides free-of-cost batch upgrades

The solution can improve by adding virtualized switch functionality. Huawei mentioned virtual switches in one of the product sheets, but when we got to the deployment phase, it turned out that they didn't actually include virtual switching functionality. Other than that, the switch and network are performing well and meeting our requirements.

Rock-solid connectivity and WiFi coverage

It's a hardwired solution so our customers do not have to use a mesh network — I really dislike that. It causes too much delay, etc. As with any product, there is always room for improvement. A good router is not cheap. A good switch is not cheap. Let's say somebody develops a new frequency — 7GHz. Well, in that case, you'd need a special router. I have some customers who request Cat7 for their homes. That's way too much. So I'd say, "What are you going to run over here? Let's just run fiber optics. Then the customer will respond, "Well, I read somewhere and other people have told me that if you're going to wire your house, go with Cat7." I'd say, "Sir, you're not going to even utilize Cat5e." I use Cat5e, and believe it or not, I can pump at 10 gigabits per second with Cat5e. The same was true with ePoE — now we have ePoE+. Some switches with ePoE cannot supply as much juice as the modern ePoE+, which requires much more power. The basic switch doesn't have the capacity to deal with that. The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic. It pretty much just covers some basic IP information, defense, and how to change the administrator password — that's pretty much it. I am a dealer, I shouldn't have to contact support for basic answers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Huawei Ethernet Switches also have effective network switching features."

"The velocity of the process is the most valuable feature."

"The solution is stable and the performance is good."

"In terms of the most valuable features, LAN switching is more comfortable and valuable in the network. It is easy to configure and easy to deploy. It is helpful for the installation and it is easy to troubleshoot issues. It's an easy product to understand. It's a good solution."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its network monitoring system."

"It integrates well."

"The solution is scalable."

"Huawei Ethernet Switches support multiple vendors. You can integrate them according to the network scenario. Their power consumption is low."

More Huawei Ethernet Switches pros

"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."

"The ePoE+ is great."

"The solution is less expensive than other options."

Cons

"The technical support is a bit difficult to work with if you don't speak Mandarin."

"The solution's marketing could be better. It spends money on marketing but doesn't highlight the most important features. Sometimes, it provides too much information, which can confuse customers."

"Deploying Huawei Ethernet Switches in an organization offers advantages, especially if the decision is made early in the process and the company opts for a single-vendor approach. This simplifies implementation and customization, often resulting in lower prices and tailored solutions from Huawei. However, excessive customization can lead to support issues and challenges in knowledge transfer during employee turnover."

"In the future, incorporating AI features into Ethernet switches, particularly in the controller base, would be beneficial."

"We would like to have a greater level of automation using this solution. The customer support could also be faster."

"Huawei has a lot of issues; it's not in sync properly. For instance, if the ONT is down, there's another problem with another ONT that is not functioning correctly. Even after configuring the siding, I cannot reach some other side, and I don't know why it's happening."

"I would like to see some improvements in the access layer switch that is available in Aruba."

"Presently, the solution doesn't offer any AI integrations with the product hardware."

More Huawei Ethernet Switches cons

"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."

"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."

"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei provides much better performance for the same price, even when taking into account very aggressive commercial policies."

"It is cheaper than Cisco."

"Compared to other brands, I think that the price is quite fair."

"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."

"The switch came as part of a package bundle that includes internet service."

"The product is competitively priced in its market."

"Huawei Ethernet Switches are cheap and cost around ten dollars."

"From the initial purchase, you will pay for a license and you do not need to pay for a license again. The price depends on the size of the infrastructure."

More Huawei Ethernet Switches pricing and cost advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
