Cons
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"The configuration is complex and should be simplified.""We'd like the product to be more flexible so that we could more easily manipulate some of the features.""Huawei Enterprise Routers can improve by enhancing their security. The software architecture and the operating system that runs on their router and the security capability are not as strong when compared to Cisco.""Syntax in the implementation process could be easier to understand for a new user or someone who doesn’t have prior experience using the product.""We have encountered issues while integrating the product with Enterprise Management Systems. Huawei platform is good for Huawei but we face issues when we integrate it with other models.""In my country we don't have Huawei technology, we only have Huawei routers for ISP. There is no agent for Huawei in Egypt.""There is not much of a technical team for Huawei available in Pakistan as compared to Cisco with respect to very complex networks.""The product’s performance could be better."

More Huawei Enterprise Routers Cons →

"The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved.""The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS.""The bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better.""The initial setup is complex.""It would be even better with a centralized management platform.""Antispam and antivirus features should be included in the future.""There has to be more development in the OS. It's complex for this switch as compared to others like Cisco. For NetGear and Cisco, it's easy to adapt the VLAN concept but it should be simplified for MikroTik.""Stuff that I'd like to be improved is really just training and documentation because I think the feature set is full. Another improvement I'd suggest is that their new, bigger releases should be a bit more stable."
