Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the firewall. It integrates with AWS. I can use the Cisco product on an AWS server.""The installation is easy.""The installation process is straightforward.""Integration is much easier than with competitor products because it allows for segmentation inside the network.""Cisco Linksys is scalable. You can use it as an extender, too.""It's stable and we never have to worry about it.""Ease-of-use and ease-of-management are good qualities of this product.""It's very easy to configure URLs."

Cons
"The simplicity of management could be improved so the object-based switch management is possible.""It would be ideal if they could do more configurations and offer more flexibility. Right now, it's not flexible at all.""Cisco offers a wide range of features, and in the enterprise and mid-segment market in Europe, we make use of most of them. Some features are essential for our operations, while others may go unused. The feature set provided by Cisco is comprehensive, and there's little more we could ask for. It would be a nice addition if, in the future, Cisco switches could incorporate artificial intelligence to provide proactive feedback and guidance instead of having to search for solutions ourselves. This development is likely to come with time, and we'll patiently await such enhanced functionality.""The manageability could be improved.""We'd prefer if the product, in general, was easier to use. It can be a bit difficult.""The initial setup was complex.""It should be cheaper. We need a better price from Cisco. Its initial setup and support should also be improved.""The solution is costly."

"There needs to be more documentation. If they opened up a bit and shared more information and maybe allowed for YouTube videos about their products and how to work them, it would benefit the users quite a bit.""Devices should have the ability to configure more easily.""We would like to have a greater level of automation using this solution. The customer support could also be faster.""The solution should make the text report more accessible.""The interoperability of the devices, in general, on the Huawei switches is not good and is known to be not good. Maybe they can improve this a bit.""In the future, incorporating AI features into Ethernet switches, particularly in the controller base, would be beneficial.""The only thing that could be better is the security module.""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."
