Cons
"The documentation needs to be better.""It’s hard to get technical support.""I didn't like the Huawei Switches because of the different versions resetting the configuration issue. Huawei doesn't support Layer 3 modes while TOE and ARP have some issues.""The solution should make the text report more accessible.""I had issues with patching the IOS. But right now I think Huawei has improved very much in the advanced technology and is more stable now. I think patch and bug fixes should be announced on a scheduled basis.""The product’s pricing needs improvement. It could be more stable as well.""Deploying Huawei Ethernet Switches in an organization offers advantages, especially if the decision is made early in the process and the company opts for a single-vendor approach. This simplifies implementation and customization, often resulting in lower prices and tailored solutions from Huawei. However, excessive customization can lead to support issues and challenges in knowledge transfer during employee turnover.""The solution needs to provide GUI commands."

More Huawei Ethernet Switches Cons →

"Has a steep learning curve.""The price could be a bit lower.""Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design.""Juniper's support could be much better and faster.""The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster.""More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations.""The price is in the intermediate range. It is not overly expensive, but also not cheap. It could stand improvement.""Juniper EX Series could improve the process and ease of updating the software. It is a difficult process."
