We performed a comparison between Huawei Ethernet Switches and Meraki MS 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 required functionalities align with telecom requirements and have improved from a capacity perspective."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to use, easy to configure, it's priced well, and the operating system is easy to understand."
"They last quite a while."
"It is easy to understand all the features of Huawei Switches."
"The Huawei switches are stable, easy to set up, and cheap."
"The most valuable feature is the audit systems. I also like that it can synchronize on the alternate configuration of products together at the same time."
"The functionality is basically the same as Cisco."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its network monitoring system."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to segment my infrastructure between phones, security systems, and other tasks."
"The solution is very stable."
"Being able to look at every port and see what it is connected to is very useful. Everything seems to be running really well. They've got everything covered. They have a really cool mounting system at the bottom and an access point that you can use to level up your device. It is kind of cool."
"I like the portal, it's really interesting."
"You can access a single pane of glass and configure all the devices via the same access."
"The most valuable feature is cloud management."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard because it makes it easy to manage all of the switches. It's easy to turn them up and get it configured."
"I like the support, and basically, that's why I'm using Meraki by Cisco."
"The pricing could always be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see an increase in the performance of DDoS protection systems against all kinds of attack packets."
"Presently, the solution doesn't offer any AI integrations with the product hardware."
"The tool is not very robust in harsh environments. Issues with cooling and power can cause these switches to fail, which concerns customers. They work well in data centers but might be problematic in places without cooling or heat."
"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."
"The solution needs to provide GUI commands."
"The product's stability has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Connectivity is an area that needs improvement in the solution. Interconnectivity with third-party versions or Cisco Meraki should be made available to users in future releases of the solution."
"Meraki MS Switches could improve if it was an SDN. It will be more flexible and WWE can use one link for specific traffic and another one for other traffic."
"Meraki MS switches are great for pretty much all SMB networks and most enterprise networks. However, there are some higher-end functions that larger enterprise networks with full access, distribution, and core switch stack may find limiting."
"They tend to have some weird issues with fiber uplinks."
"Meraki MS Switches do not offer as many features as their competitors, so we are quite limited in what we can configure on the switches and firewalls."
"The price for this product could be cheaper. For a low-budget school or institution, scaling up and implementing more switches could take longer because of budget constraints."
"The lead times can be long in terms of actually getting the hardware."
"The product demonstrates poor price per performance when compared with its competitors."
"It can have better security. It needs more security enhancements, and in particular, a zero-trust element. If we could have external and internal users vetted in the same way as a zero-trust network, that will be handy."
