We only pay one-off instead of paying recurring license fees.

The licensing costs depend on the negotiations that a user has with Huawei. The support provided by Huawei is very responsive, and at times, they visit and provide on-site help to users. The support by Huawei is different from how other products offer support to users since most of them provide help through phones while Huawei provides on-site support to users. There is a need to make some additional payments apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution.

If you have the basic function, there's no problem. However, you must purchase a license if you require advanced features or additional functionality beyond the basic setup. It applies to all customers, not just myself, and purchasing a license is perfectly acceptable and necessary to access these additional features.

The price is quite low. It's not overly expensive. The solution offers perpetual licensing. I'd rate it 3.5 or four out of five in terms of pricing.

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. It currently costs around eighty dollars a switch for a one-time payment. I think the price point is great for the product.

Users pay once, and then they have the solution. You don’t need to constantly pay for licensing. They're also cheaper than competitor programs.

There aren't any licensing costs. It's a one-off payment at the beginning and then you can use them for as long as you like. If you want to expand or use another service, you do need to pay for that, however.

The pricing is reasonable. In comparison to Cisco, it's good. That said, I can't speak to exact pricing as that is handled by the finance team.

It was a one-off licensing for Huawei that wasn't upgraded so there's no ability now to configure our upgrade. We purchased the hardware with the inbuilt license eight years ago and we haven't been charged for any licensing since then.

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 other features, however, so some of those capabilities are an additional charge.

Huawei Ethernet switches have a price advantage over other solutions. You can buy about four Huawei switches for the price of one Cisco switch. The exact pricing varies based on how many units you purchase. For example, if you buy one then it is expensive, but if you buy ten or more then there is a discount. I would expect the same would apply to larger purchases, such as a bulk discount for buying 100 or more units.
