The GUI interface is really good, and the security features are also very good. It is also stable and scalable, and their support is also good.""It's very powerful, especially for engineering teams.""The division of Control Plane and Data Plane is most valuable. It can be deployed anywhere, and you can control it and configure it from anywhere. This is one of the good features of this solution.""Versa FlexVNF is a scalable product because it does not have any hardware dependencies.

Cons
"Essentially, they need to open their licensing model such that when a customer buys a device, they have a full view of all of the available licenses for it.""The only problem I see is configuration loss.""Lacks sufficient market availability.""It would be better if local storage management was more flexible, so that unused data could be easily removed.""In my country we don't have Huawei technology, we only have Huawei routers for ISP. There is no agent for Huawei in Egypt.""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.""In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better bandwidth management, more granular web filtering, and portal authentication.""We have found we have to restart the routers or reconfigured them a lot of the time, this issue should improve. The quality of the hardware needs to be more durable."

More Huawei Enterprise Routers Cons →

"I heard about them for the first time just before I started working on Versa. They do have blogs for information, but they could publicize more about the documentation and architecture. It doesn't seem to have that much exposure, and they should work on their customer base more.""We are thinking about how to make customers consolidate the loads to an SD-WAN network so that the customers can have bigger chunk from the SD-WAN side so that customers can have critical data be transferred with NPS VPN and non-critical data or some labeled traffic can be transferred by the SD-WAN network. I think it's a very important direction for digital transformation.""The VPN feature is relatively new. It came out two releases ago, and they're still fixing that up.""The security should be improved.""With the pandemic and changing work models, it would be ideal if the product more accessibility options or more diversity within the solution itself.""The solution lacks a mobile version where small, manageable platforms can be developed.""SASE is the next big thing that is coming up, and it needs to be developed in Versa. This is the only thing that needs to be adapted very quickly by Versa. With the pandemic going on, I would like to see more features for working from home. They have launched Versa Secure Access (VSA), but it is currently immature. They need to tighten it up for work from home and SD-WAN concept.""The web interface can be improved."
