The most valuable features are the ease of configuration, availability of a GUI apart from the command line, and basic features such as VLAN configuration and routing between VLANs.
View full review »The customers mainly choose Huawei instead of Cisco due to pricing. Huawei offers similar features at a cheaper price compared to Cisco.
In some projects, I've observed that they are willing to lower their prices to compete with Cisco and expand their market share.
View full review »The solution's most valuable feature is its very simple configuration. The tool's built-in firewall is quite good. For the tool's efficiency, I can rate the solution as seven and a half out of ten.
The required functionalities align with telecom requirements and have improved from a capacity perspective. Additionally, power efficiency has been added, resulting in a more stable work platform. We used Juniper but struggled with it due to bugs and other issues. However, I have not seen anything like that with Huawei. Huawei provides free-of-cost batch upgrades to all networks worldwide if they find something that needs to be upgraded. Huawei usually recommends what we require so that they have symmetrical patches worldwide.

The tool's valuable features are easy to deploy and troubleshoot with available documentation. They are cost-effective and can reduce operational expenses. Huawei Ethernet Switches have built-in AI features for monitoring and analytics. These are the tool's solutions, not third-party integrations.
View full review »It is cheap. Another reason is that we cannot change to another product already. It's GPON, and it's not quite cheap. Something might probably change around half a million.
Generally, the core features of wireless networking equipment from Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus are similar. All three vendors offer the ability to configure basic features such as DHCP, routing, and security.

Huawei Ethernet Switches support multiple vendors. You can integrate them according to the network scenario. Their power consumption is low.
View full review »One scenario where Huawei Ethernet Switches improved network efficiency was last year when a customer needed switches with 10 gigabits, which are not very common in the market. Huawei provided this kind of switch, enabling the customer to upgrade their network from 1 gigabit to 10 gigabit speeds across all devices.
The tool offers a range of switches from basic to high-end models, with different features.
View full review »Huawei Ethernet Switches excel in compatibility with other brands, offering features to ensure seamless communication with existing protocols. This allows them to work alongside switches from different manufacturers, such as Cisco, by making adjustments on both ends for compatibility.
View full review »The basic features are great. We can connect to the internet through SIM cards, through the phone network, to 4G and 5G networks.
It provides Wi-Fi on the premise and basic switching and routing capabilities on facilities.
They're straightforward to set up. Even a non-technical user can just take a Huawei Switch with a few lines of documentation, and they're able to put them online. They have the ability to use them even a totally new or non-technical user. It's a bit easier to use.
We have not encountered any issues in the locations where the product has been deployed. I am impressed with its performance and pricing.

We need the report on their network with the Internet included as well. We have the opportunity to provide customers with cheaper solutions instead of opting for high-priced options from older brands like Cisco, which are extremely expensive. Also, the Russian store's solution manager is good.

The functionality is great. The functionality is basically the same as Cisco. However, with Cisco, some protocols are standard proprietary on the Cisco side. Also, with Huawei, some protocols are proprietary.
The pricing is much lower than, for example, Cisco.
It works quite well in general.
View full review »The pricing is quite good.
We find the support to be helpful.
The solution has been stable so far.
Scalability isn't an issue.
The initial setup is pretty simple.
View full review »At the time, for our sized organization, they were cost-effective, fit for purpose, and risk assessed to go in accordingly because they were cheap, and they have lasted, but now it doesn't give us the ability to do what we need because we've grown exponentially in the last eight or nine years.
The one thing is those products were cost effective, and for what they did, their costing is a lot cheaper than any Juniper or any other product out there. But if you need scalability, normal monitoring tools, backup and switches, they're not going to be the product for a team.

The multi-gig options are important for us all. All the routing protocols that they have are important for us.

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.
View full review »I like getting that CLI syntax, it's quite similar to the Cisco product.
The most valuable features will be those features that are really considered as basic features of this type of switch. That includes things such as spanning tree protocol, Huawei's proprietary intelligent stacking called iStack, and the routing features that come along with the switch software package.
Because Huawei does not charge any license fee on extra features I can repackage it. When you buy a switch from Huawei, the switches come along with a lot of features that you do not need to pay extra money for but you can use these features to build out similarly to something like Cisco switches. There are some features that it does not include, so you have to pay some extra license fee to enable those capabilities.
The most important feature that our clients look for in this solution is that it will perform how it says it will perform for the best price and that it will provide good support.
In terms of communication, implementation, and permissioning, we have on-hand implementation documents on the website that you can download if you want some second project in certain kinds of scenarios. Huawei has the advantages here, because with Cisco I can not find it. You have to do it yourself.
Durability is fine. The performance is fine compared with other products
View full review »The most valuable feature is the audit systems. I also like that it can synchronize on the alternate configuration of products together at the same time.
What I like about Huawei is that it has a very fast response to troubleshooting problems and regulates reports with very great production. Instead of other manufacturers that are pretty slow sometimes to expand. That is why I work with Huawei and not other solutions. Other manufacturers should speed up their answers.
It's a problem when you have several large networks and the problem is not at a specific point, but many different problems together.
View full review »The velocity of the process is the most valuable feature.
View full review »Huawei Ethernet Switches has multiple security features but the campus switches feature is vital. For some projects of our company, Huawei Ethernet Switches are more affordable than Aruba solutions. But for layer 3 or high-level switches, in some cases the Aruba switches are cost-effective, thus the price depends upon the project, configuration and the design.
Huawei Ethernet Switches also have effective network switching features.
Huawei Ethernet Switches are functional. It has a good response to resolve issues.
