We performed a comparison between Brocade Ethernet Switches and Huawei Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The technical support is good."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"It has good integration with HPE Primera. They have smart zoning in which the administration is very easy. You don't have to do anything. Zoning and other things are done automatically if you just enable the smart zoning. That's one very good thing in HP."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"The reliability of Brocade is the most valuable feature. The solution has been up and running for over ten years without any fail, fixes required, or breakdowns. It is a very strong piece of equipment."
"It is pretty straightforward to set up."
"They're straightforward to set up."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches also have effective network switching features."
"They last quite a while."
"The technical documentation available is very good. The technical support for the customer is also good - I would give it 8 out of 10."
"The functionality is basically the same as Cisco."
"It is cheap."
"The affordability of this solution has been most useful."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"There are some performance issues."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"The solution could be more secure."
"No graphical interface."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"It is not easy to use if you need to monitor, patch or update. It needs to be configured by a network specialist because it doesn't have an overall central monitoring tool or anything like that. I'd say no ease of use."
"Devices should have the ability to configure more easily."
"We would like to see additional backup solutions, since we have several degrees of backup."
"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."
"Huawei has a lot of issues; it's not in sync properly. For instance, if the ONT is down, there's another problem with another ONT that is not functioning correctly. Even after configuring the siding, I cannot reach some other side, and I don't know why it's happening."
"I have issues with the support's communication language. The tool's UI can be better."
"It’s hard to get technical support."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches have not automated its firmware."
