Cons
"The product’s price is a bit high.""The installation could be simplified.""The solution's framework and some of the techniques need improvement. I've been watching Aruba, and they have a lot of technologies within the access points. For example, it has a virtual controller to connect all Aruba switches.""Another area of improvement is scalability.""We are expecting one software that can run across all of Cisco hardware, software, and Cisco Switch router, similar to what Juniper has.""The pricing for this solution needs to be improved.""Scalability is an area that can be improved.""The product must be made cloud-based."

"I have issues with the support's communication language. The tool's UI can be better.""Huawei Ethernet Switches have not automated its firmware.""The pricing could always be improved.""The solution needs to provide GUI commands.""Huawei Switch can make further advancements, as the current CLI lacks functionality. The majority of tasks are performed through the CLI, making it difficult for those without technical expertise to work with. They should enhance the CLI of the access switches to make them more user-friendly. The GUI of the Ethernet Switches should also be improved to allow non-technical users to perform technical tasks with ease. Additionally, the documentation of the solution could improve.""The solution should make the text report more accessible.""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.""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."
