Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches vs Huawei Ethernet Switches comparison

"The fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper."

"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything."

"We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."

"The product is stable. It does have only one power supply. They don't have a redundant power supply."

"Enables direct access to clusters."

"This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."

"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."

"The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."

"This product is competitive technically with the best products in the class."

"The tool’s pricing is reasonable. It has a high throughput capacity."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its very simple configuration."

"Huawei Ethernet Switches are very stable."

"We have not encountered any issues in the locations where the product has been deployed. I am impressed with its performance and pricing."

"They have the ability, since they have a very big R&D team, to create an upgrade for any feature or patch very easily."

"Huawei Ethernet switches are easy to use and can be managed using either the GUI or via the command-line."

"So far, so good when it comes to stability."

"I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches."

"The network connection should be improved."

"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region."

"There needs to be better integration with the interface."

"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."

"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."

"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."

"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."

"It’s hard to get technical support."

"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 product’s pricing needs improvement. It could be more stable as well."

"The solution needs to provide GUI commands."

"In the future, incorporating AI features into Ethernet switches, particularly in the controller base, would be beneficial."

"I have issues with the support's communication language. The tool's UI can be better."

"Integration could be improved. The price could also be lower."

"One of the problems with Huawei is that when you receive a product quote from one of the vendors, you cannot get prices from the other ones because they register your request with Huawei."

"It is an expensive solution."

"The pricing is reasonable compared to Aruba and HPE."

"The licensing for OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches is a one-time purchase with no additional costs."

"The exact pricing varies based on how many units you purchase."

"The solution's price is reasonable compared to other products like Cisco."

"Compared to other brands, I think that the price is quite fair."

"From the initial purchase, you will pay for a license and you do not need to pay for a license again. The price depends on the size of the infrastructure."

"The product is competitively priced in its market."

"I would say that the product is cost-effective."

"The pricing is good so is rated an eight out of ten."

"Huawei comes with a lot of features out of the box that you have to pay extra for with other products. They do charge extra in the licensing for certain additional features."
