Cons
"The number of surfaces that can be handled by the chipset could be increased.""There is room for improvement in the pricing model."

More Broadcom StrataDNX Cons →

"The product's stability has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required.""The product should improve cloud capability.""One of the problems with Huawei is that when you receive a product quote from one of the vendors, you cannot get prices from the other ones because they register your request with Huawei.""The configuration is very difficult even for someone who is already familiar with the configuration process.""Huawei Switch can make further advancements, as the current CLI lacks functionality. The majority of tasks are performed through the CLI, making it difficult for those without technical expertise to work with. They should enhance the CLI of the access switches to make them more user-friendly. The GUI of the Ethernet Switches should also be improved to allow non-technical users to perform technical tasks with ease. Additionally, the documentation of the solution could improve.""The availability and the speed of the firmware updates are the only things wrong with Huawei. There are some vulnerabilities on the hardware.""The performance has been slow at times.""It’s hard to get technical support."
