Huawei Ethernet Switches Previous Solutions
We previously used Juniper and switched to Huawei Ethernet Switches after we completed an RFP. Juniper was cheaper but did not meet the rest of our requirements. Huawei's telecom services such as media gateways, MSCs, and Packet Core are better. The main reason we switched to Huawei is that they also offer free of cost web of IP cost.

There was a need for us to upgrade our network to one gigabit and to enable fiber channel capabilities. We contemplated all the options available in Morocco, meaning Alcatel, HP, Huawei and several others, all of the ones utilizing Oracle. In the past we made use of Avaya, as we are an engineering consultancy, meaning we deal with big offices and hospitals. So, we know about these things.
We considered all the capabilities of these switches, as well as the price and performance. We came to the realization that Huawei provides much better performance for the same price, even when taking into account very aggressive commercial policies. The prices were lower by 20 or 30 percent with more powerful features. Very importantly, we were able to to take out a five-year guarantee, with a four-year extension option. We are talking only about switches, not servers. In contrast, the other solutions only offered one to two years tops.

View full review »In the past, I have used switches from HPE, and though I have some experience with the replacement process, I don't remember the exact name of the HPE switches I dealt with, but I remember that it was not a very pleasant experience using them. I also have experience with switches from Cisco and Arista Networks. Switches from Arista Networks were complex for me, as it was very hard for me to understand what was going on with it. Out of all the products that I have used, Cisco and Huawei were the best choices.

We also use Cisco switches and firewalls as well. We use Ruckus as well. They are mainly for wireless access.
View full review »I currently also use Cisco switches. In fact, I'm slowly, as Huawei switches fail, subbing in Cisco switches. Currently, our network has both integrating with each other and working together. We're phasing out Huawei and we won't be using them anymore.
View full review »We use a variety of switches. Depending on the requirements, we use Huawei, Cisco, HP, or Aruba.

I was using Cisco Aruba HP Engine previously and switched because Huawei Ethernet Switches are user-friendly. I think the advantage of the Huawei Ethernet Switch is its stability. It is easy to understand all the features of Huawei Switches here in the region.

I have worked with Cisco and Huawei. I have worked on both and both devices are stable and reliable devices. Cisco is a standard of devices. Huawei are valuable devices that work well. They are both sufficient and good devices.

Prior to this solution, I was using devices by Cisco. They are very nice but they are also very expensive. The cost is the reason that we switched.
