Huawei Enterprise Routers Reviews

The most valuable feature of Huawei Enterprise Routers is if have two networks at different geographical locations with a great deal of distance they work together as if they are on the same cloud network.

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.

In an upcoming release, they should add more integration for mobile applications with the capability of management monitoring the network remotely.

I have been using Huawei Enterprise Routers for approximately one year.

Technology is changing very rapidly and Huawei Enterprise Routers is stable. We have not had any complaints from clients.

Huawei Enterprise Routers is scalable in my study. However, it can depend on the load.

In the country I am from we have Huawei Enterprise Routers support teams everywhere. They are responsive and knowledgeable.

I rate the support from Huawei Enterprise Routers a five out of five.

I have used Cisco devices and in the past and they have been in the market for a long time. They know the ins and outs of the industry. With most of the protocols and architecture of networking, Cisco has been involved. Cisco is at the forefront, and Huawei Enterprise Routers are trying to adapt to the environment and markets.

The initial setup of Huawei Enterprise Routers is straightforward when compared to other similar solutions. The full setup process took approximately two hours per unit.

I rate the Huawei Enterprise Routers a four out of five.

The manufacturers have specified the kind of attention that is required for maintenance, the cooling system conditions, and other aspects. Since we installed the Huawei Enterprise Routers, there has not been any major maintenance needed on the devices.

I rate Huawei Enterprise Routers an eight out of ten.

Overall we have found the solution to be satisfactory.

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.

I have been using the solution for approximately three years.

There needs to be an improvement in the area of stability with this solution.

The scalability could be better.

We have a team of two engineers that do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

The price of the solution is fair.

I would recommend this solution to others if they have the budget for it.

I rate Huawei Enterprise Routers a five out of ten.

I use the product to connect to various access points to extend my network. 

The internet speed reduces throughout the day. The tool is not stable. 

I have been working with the product for two years. 

The tool is not stable.

The product is stable since you can expand your network by connecting with other Huawei routers or other brand routers. I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten. I am the single person using the tool.  

There was a learning curve for me for the tool's setup since I have to go through its documentation. 

I did the tool's deployment myself without the need for a technical team. 

We have seen ROI with the product's use. 

The tool's licensing is yearly. 

I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. The product is cheaper and easier to configure. 

We use the solution as part of our data center, and also for data replication to provide disaster recovery for our clients.

This product uses a non-proprietary command line, which makes it compatible across many different systems.

The integration process of the solution could be improved, to reduce the amount of reconfiguration needed. 

Also, it would be better if local storage management was more flexible, so that unused data could be easily removed.

We have been using the solution for three to four years.

We have found the solution to be stable.

The solution is scalable, but integrating new nodes into the cluster may be challenging.

We found that working with technical support was difficult due to a language barrier, and this needs to be improved.

Neutral

The initial setup of the solution was straightforward, but it took several weeks to fully deploy in order to get the usable storage levels right.

The solution was implemented through a vendor team, so that they could troubleshoot any issues that arose.

Deployment and maintenance of the product can be carried out by one person, but they would need to have in-depth knowledge of the solution.

The solution is unique in terms of commands, and how to configure the devices. So I would recommend that anyone looking at this solution makes sure they really understand the product for it to be effective.

I would rate this solution as six out of ten.

Our clients needed to deploy a student management system that included a head office and several branches and included an additional SD-WAN solution for the routers. We are a reseller and partner of Huawei and provide support to our clients. I'm a system engineer.  

The solution offers good customer support, ease of deployment, and good performance. 

There are some complexities with the configuration; if they could improve that it would make a big difference.

I've been using this solution for three years. 

The solution is generally stable. Of course there could be issues down the line with patching support or software upgrades but for now we're happy and everything works well.

The solution is scalable. 

Technical support provided a quick response. 

Neutral

The initial setup is straightforward, the CLI codes are simple. We prepared the low-level design in advance, so deployment just took a few days. 

We've taken out a three-year license that includes support. The licensing is not cheap but it's a fair price. 

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

I use it for enterprise campus network solutions.

The only problem I see is configuration loss. Sometimes you configure it and it loses the connection, so you have to do it again.

I have been using Huawei Enterprise Routers for more than four years.

The scalability is good.

I think technical support is better than others. I think it is better than Cisco or HP. I think the company has local Huawei companies and it is easy for us to communicate with them.

The pricing is cheaper than other competitors.

I would rate Huawei Enterprise Routers an eight out of ten.

I used the solution for those who connect to it to have internet access.

I have been able to connect the solution to many platforms such as Windows, Apple, and Android.

I have been using the solution for two months.

I have found the solution to be stable.

I have four users using the solution and it has worked well in terms of scalability. I have connected up to eight devices at a time and it has been operating well.

I have not had any issues that I would need to have contacted the support.

I have used D-Link in the past.

The installation was easy, you put the SIM card in and connect.

I installed the solution myself and it only takes approximately five min.

There is no licence for this solution, but the solution could be cheaper.

I am going to continue using the solution in the future, it has been working good for me.

I rate Huawei Enterprise Routers a nine out of ten.

We use our Huawei routers as a gateway to the internet, or for VPN connections from our head office to multiple branches.

The most valuable features for us are NAT, ATS, server capabilities, VPN tunneling, and management.

The GUI works well in this technology.

Additional security enhancement would make this solution better.

In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better bandwidth management, more granular web filtering, and portal authentication.

We have been using Huawei Enterprise Routers for three to four years.

Based on my experience of about four years, I think that Huawei Enterprise Routers are pretty stable.

I think that scalability is okay.

We have three to four people who work with this product in our company. We have managers, a network architect for the design based on what the customer wants, network engineers for the deployment, and after-sales support. 

We handle the level one and level two support for our customers.

For complex support that cannot be handled by the local engineers, Huawei provides technical assistance.

We sell Cisco routers in addition to Huawei. The Huawei routers sell in higher volumes because the price is much cheaper than Cisco.

The complexity of the initial setup depends on the environment. We look at what the client needs in terms of their primary requirements and what the router will be used for. It may be for an internet connection or using a VPN to connect the head office to multiple branches. We have to set the IP range and the DHCP server. We also have to set up the IP range to be allowed for the subnet, along with what IP range can be used to access the internet, or what IPs should be blocked from services.

For a simple deployment, it may take one or two hours, whereas a more complex deployment may take four to eight hours.

The deployment requires at least one person, but for the VPN connection, it will require at least two for the testing. In terms of managing this solution, it depends on how many routers are on the North side of the network operation center.

We provide training and certification to set up the router. Once it is deployed, we make sure that it is 100% working. Aside from the training, we provide a deployment manual that serves as a guide if there is ever a complex setup. It is something that engineers can follow to configure it.

Huawei offers a cheaper enterprise router solution than Cisco.

When comparing Huawei to Cisco, the performance and the configuration are similar. The appliances have similar specifications, and the support is similar as well.

Huawei Enterprise Routers perform well but there is always room for improvement.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
