"Pricing-wise, Huawei is quite good."
"The tool’s pricing is reasonable. It has a high throughput capacity."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches excel in compatibility with other brands, offering features to ensure seamless communication with existing protocols. This allows them to work alongside switches from different manufacturers, such as Cisco, by making adjustments on both ends for compatibility."
"They are very user-friendly. Handling Huawei is very easy."
"We have not encountered any issues in the locations where the product has been deployed. I am impressed with its performance and pricing."
"It is a very stable solution."
"This product is competitive technically with the best products in the class."
"It is user-friendly, reliable, and cheap."
"It's a well-rounded solution for routing."
"The GUI is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is that it has better throughput than its competitors."
"The beauty of MikroTik is that you have flexibility with the routing parts."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The performance has been good."
"The interface management and the user access management is pretty good."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement. It could be more stable as well."
"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."
"The pricing could always be improved."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches have not automated its firmware."
"The configuration is very difficult even for someone who is already familiar with the configuration process."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches should improve its user interface."
"The configuration could be improved and deployment should be easier."
"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."
"There has to be more development in the OS. It's complex for this switch as compared to others like Cisco. For NetGear and Cisco, it's easy to adapt the VLAN concept but it should be simplified for MikroTik."
"The initial setup is complex."
"In medium to large sectors, there's a necessity for managing aspects like proxy firewalls."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS."
"Improvements are needed with respect to some of the security, especially for VPN links between vendors other than Cisco."
"Technical support could be better."
"It would be even better with a centralized management platform."
