"The most valuable feature is controlling the bandwidth."
"The flexible IP firewall and IP network address translation make it very easy to give access to internal services."
"This solution is easy to configure and it's very flexible."
"They are very good at providing the bandwidth for multi-tenants and multi-dwelling units. We're managing WiFi hotspots for hundreds of locations, and the speed and performance are quite there. They also have very cheap 10G products that come with really good and flexible software. They are way cheaper than the top brands, and they're able to deliver the same performance and capabilities."
"It has a lot of features. I haven't explored them all yet."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

"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."
"The internet speed reduces throughout the day. The tool is not stable."
"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."

"The solution does suffer from freezing and corruption issues."
"We'd like for them to improve the UI and improve on speed."
"I would like to see a cluster feature added, where multiple devices can be configured and managed as one. One is in a standby state while the other is active, and if one fails then the other takes over."
"As far as improvements, there are basically only two things I would suggest. First, I think they should provide extensive training for the new releases of products, especially in the LTE space. Second, they could spend more time ensuring that their OS releases are more stable, rather than waiting for things to fall apart on the customer's premises before they make the necessary changes."
"Better security is always better. If they can continue to improve in this area, that would be ideal."
"It would be nice if the interface was easier to use."
