Cost-effective performance enhanced by security features with easy configurations
I mainly use Huawei Switches and also work with Huawei Wireless. I deal with both Huawei and Cisco Switches, and I find Huawei to be more cost-effective Huawei has helped to save costs and is cost-effective, which also helps save time for the company. The performance of Huawei is good, and it…

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.

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

Pros

"The required functionalities align with telecom requirements and have improved from a capacity perspective."
"The affordability of this solution has been most useful."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei Ethernet Switches is the power ethernet which allows you to generate hubs to 10 Gbps data on the ethernet cable."

"Huawei Ethernet Switches are very stable."
"They're straightforward to set up."

Cons

"Devices should have the ability to configure more easily."
"Certain regulatory issues in a lot of countries cause limitations ."
"Huawei Switch can make further advancements, as the current CLI lacks functionality. The majority of tasks are performed through the CLI, making it difficult for those without technical expertise to work with. They should enhance the CLI of the access switches to make them more user-friendly. The GUI of the Ethernet Switches should also be improved to allow non-technical users to perform technical tasks with ease. Additionally, the documentation of the solution could improve."
"There could be improvements in Huawei, such as adding features that Cisco has and Huawei currently lacks."
"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."
"Dashboard could be improved."
"The stability could be improved."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches have not automated its firmware."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"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."
"A cost-effective product"
"The tool's price is affordable and I would rate it a five out of ten. The prices are fixed with no additional cost involved."
"Huawei has the same licensing model as Cisco, so both are working on the subscription model."
"I would say that the product is cost-effective."
"Huawei comes with a lot of features out of the box that you have to pay extra for with other products. They do charge extra in the licensing for certain additional features."
"The price is one of the only issues I have regarding this solution."
"The pricing is good. Still, I can choose a cheaper solution that offers a good value."
"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
