We performed a comparison between Cisco SD-WAN and Huawei Enterprise Routers based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two WAN Edge solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution provides good consolidation, centralization, and manageability for edge routers."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco SD-WAN is its compatibility and integration with the rest of the infrastructure."
"Cisco SD-WAN is a good product."
"Huge companies use SD-WAN. It is largely scalable."
"Cisco SD-WAN is a very good product."
"The most valuable features in Cisco SD-WAN are the QoS, AI, and simple interface for users to access."
"The first part that we like is that we can reuse certain hardware, which is a valuable asset. You can use hardware SKUs that already exist in the network. The second part that we like is the integration with the cloud and the measurement of the cloud's quality. These are the two values that this solution gives as compared to other implementations that we have seen."
"One of the most valuable features is that they have multiple SD-WAN options: you have Meraki for simple management solutions, you have Viptela, and you have the option of having any type of WAN interfaces. Presently, you can also have a single combined solution for both WAN as well as for voice, so you can have a voice bundle as well. These are major unique points of this solution."
"It's simple to use and offers good connectivity."
"It is a robust and efficient solution."
"The solution offers good customer support and good performance."
"When we started, the connection was amazing for the 100G between the switches and the co-switch. What the students typically use for school is a maximum is 40 so they now have faster technology."
"I have been able to connect the solution to many platforms such as Windows, Apple, and Android."
"I use the product to connect to various access points to extend my network."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei Enterprise Routers is if have two networks at different geographical locations with a great deal of distance they work together as if they are on the same cloud network."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution needs to be more flexible around legacy devices."
"The solution is very costly."
"Some configurations or procedures could be more user-friendly. Adding a bandwidth management feature would make Cisco SD-WAN more scalable and less resource-intensive."
"Simplifying the definition and implementation could add significant value, as it can be complex due to multiple product integrations and customization requirements."
"It's an expensive solution."
"Cisco's router and voice gateway has not been available since the launch of SD-WAN."
"Some competitors are much faster in providing out-of-the-box solutions, more innovative solutions. In terms of innovation, in many cases, they're lagging behind."
"We have had some problems with the licensing model, and it is something that should be improved."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"The product’s performance could be better."
"There is not much of a technical team for Huawei available in Pakistan as compared to Cisco with respect to very complex networks."
"In my country we don't have Huawei technology, we only have Huawei routers for ISP. There is no agent for Huawei in Egypt."
"If Huawei can use its own OEM processor, it could be a good step up for future use in the network devices."
"The solution's technical support could be improved."
"We have found we have to restart the routers or reconfigured them a lot of the time, this issue should improve. The quality of the hardware needs to be more durable."
"The only problem I see is configuration loss."
