"Enables direct access to clusters.""We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements.""The solution has a very good web interface.

They're all functional.""This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night.""The fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper.""OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor.""It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."

Cons
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products.""technical support response time is sometimes very slow.""There needs to be better integration with the interface.""I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches.""OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region.""The network connection should be improved.""In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed.""I find the CLI hard to use.

"The performance has been slow at times.""I would like to see more training opportunities available.""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 durability of the device can be improved.""It is not easy to use if you need to monitor, patch or update. It needs to be configured by a network specialist because it doesn't have an overall central monitoring tool or anything like that. I'd say no ease of use.""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.""Huawei Ethernet Switches should improve its user interface.""The availability and the speed of the firmware updates are the only things wrong with Huawei. There are some vulnerabilities on the hardware."
