Cons
"It should be cheaper. We need a better price from Cisco. Its initial setup and support should also be improved.""There is a four-month wait list for certified switches and licenses in Libya because they must be shipped from Dubai.""If possible, we'd like to see support in our country, but it will be difficult as we are located in Iran.""The solution's framework and some of the techniques need improvement. I've been watching Aruba, and they have a lot of technologies within the access points. For example, it has a virtual controller to connect all Aruba switches.""We haven't had any issues with the solution.""Cisco Linksys could be more secure. It could also add a controller to control all the devices, like the access points and so on.""Its scalability can be better. It is not suitable for enterprises. It is for small and medium businesses. It also needs system improvements. It needs new technology to improve the system.""We'd prefer if the product, in general, was easier to use. It can be a bit difficult."

"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.""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.""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 solution should make the text report more accessible.""The configuration is very difficult even for someone who is already familiar with the configuration process.""The configuration could be improved and deployment should be easier.""The GUI could be improved. It could be much more adaptable.""The graphical user interface could be much better."
