Cons
"Reporting is something that they can improve on.""More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution.""If compared with Cisco, then Aruba's pricing is very aggressive.""I expect automation in the Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform's next release.""They have to implement more security with it. The security, mainly their firewall functions, have to be included in the firewall features.""In future releases, I would like to see security features, so Aruba might need some firewalls, like other vendors.""Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Platform needs to improve integrations with other vendors.""The security can be improved, with the firewall for example, because they supply a basic one but not a UTM."

"There is not much of a technical team for Huawei available in Pakistan as compared to Cisco with respect to very complex networks.""It would be better if the vendor provided support for small enterprises.""The only problem I see is configuration loss.""If Huawei can use its own OEM processor, it could be a good step up for future use in the network devices.""There isn't really any scalability potential.""The product’s performance could be better.""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."
