Cons
"I didn't like the Huawei Switches because of the different versions resetting the configuration issue. Huawei doesn't support Layer 3 modes while TOE and ARP have some issues.""Huawei has a lot of issues; it's not in sync properly. For instance, if the ONT is down, there's another problem with another ONT that is not functioning correctly. Even after configuring the siding, I cannot reach some other side, and I don't know why it's happening.""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.""We would like to see additional backup solutions, since we have several degrees of backup.""It could potentially be difficult to get parts depending on where you live.""The technical support is a bit difficult to work with if you don't speak Mandarin.""The solution should make the text report more accessible.""The performance has been slow at times."

"The solution needs more monitoring tools.""I would prefer that all the licenses be open for our use.""I would suggest improvements regarding enhancing support response times and implementing user interface modifications for quicker and more user-friendly interactions.""The segment routing could be improved, and they could also transfer a lot of legacy to the cloud domain.""I would like to see more collaboration with advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) vendors, such as Itron."
