Huawei NGFW Valuable Features

For threat prevention, the most effective features are IPS, antivirus, and cloud sandboxing.

Huawei Firewall, in terms of intrusion detection capabilities, is good based on the GUI application. Some features are good. They are penetrating the Middle East and Asian markets, though not as much in other regions. Most of our financial customers are government clients.

We have used the Huawei firewall, especially in B2B. The VPN feature is very effective and easy to deploy.

One of the best things about Huawei NGFW is its ability to integrate Azure solutions. Every year, we can add new features to the firewall. The key advantage is the integration across the entire network, so it doesn't work in isolation. For example, we can manage everything with features like the secret manager or analytic IDs. The solution is straightforward. It can also detect intrusions.

Another significant aspect is the challenge of managing internet usage among both customers and employees. Sometimes, maintaining control over the websites accessed by employees can prove difficult.

The solution's performance is good with IPSec. IPSec's capacity for Huawei Firewalls was much better than most of the vendors. What happens in Fortinet is when we see the overall switching capacity and the next-generation firewall throughput, there is a big gap. Maybe the overall switching capacity is 20 gigs, but the NGFW throughput is only two gigs. With Huawei, this difference is very little. Many of the features are implemented in the hardware. When we enable it, the firewall capacity does not go down by a big margin. This is something we look forward to, which is better. Huawei also has better core density, so we see a lot of 100G ports and 10G ports available with us. The solution is easy and convenient, and we don't need extra switches to deploy the solution in the network.

We didn't face any compatibility issues with the Huawei Firewall. In our environment, there are no compatibility issues. We are using Huawei as a core technology environment for routing, switching, et cetera.

We have found the initial setup to be straightforward. 

It is a scalable solution.

The feature set is rich. They already provide more features than any other product on the market right now.

Technical support is excellent.

The most useful feature is the performance of the firewalls and networking operations.

For now, we're using Huawei for small and medium enterprises. They're working excellently for now.

We are still really just using the third party NIB and IDS for monitoring. As for the integrated platform, we haven't upgraded the new one.

We've just been playing Huawei initially. Only now are we doing the Huawei firewall call integration and we haven't actually completed that portion yet.

The security is good. It's as effective as anything else on the market.

The UI is quite good. I don't need to remember all the command lines, and it's easier for me to update the policies and rules on the firewall.
