Find out in this report how the two WAN Edge solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's simple to use and offers good connectivity."
"I have been able to connect the solution to many platforms such as Windows, Apple, and Android."
"The solution offers good customer support and good performance."
"When we started, the connection was amazing for the 100G between the switches and the co-switch. What the students typically use for school is a maximum is 40 so they now have faster technology."
"I use the product to connect to various access points to extend my network."
"We use the solution for point-to-point connectivity, aggregation, and radio connectivity on mTLS."
"The product’s technical support team is responsive."
"There is a lot of information available about routers and how to configure Huawei Routers right now."
"Feature-wise, VMware SD-WAN is a really strong cloud web security product."
"They have a lot of built-ins. There are so many applications defined inside the solution. It makes it so that we don't have to create some policies. Each and every application is already defined in it."
"In my experience, the setup process has been fairly straightforward."
"One of the standout features is its ability to dynamically manage enterprise networks based on applications."
"VMware has been chosen by many of our customers who do not want to do a lot of complex routing in their environment and want a very easy-to-use solution. The most valuable features are simple troubleshooting, Dynamic Multipath Optimization (DMPO), and cybersecurity."
"When extra capacity is needed, we can get it very quickly."
"This solution is as stable as most firewalls. VMware is a reputable vendor."
"I find the application-aware routing feature to be the most valuable."
"If Huawei can use its own OEM processor, it could be a good step up for future use in the network devices."
"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."
"In my country we don't have Huawei technology, we only have Huawei routers for ISP. There is no agent for Huawei in Egypt."
"Huawei Enterprise Routers can improve by enhancing their security. The software architecture and the operating system that runs on their router and the security capability are not as strong when compared to Cisco."
"The solution's technical support could be improved."
"They should include features like IPS for security and response."
"The internet service for enterprise bundle should be improved."
"They need to start focusing on the security functionality. They should find a way to embed the next-generation firewall functionality within the architecture. They should move more into applying SASE tenants to what they're doing."
"Can't execute commands quickly when troubleshooting. The graphic user interface is slow."
"VMware SD-WAN could be improved with more automation and more integration, but each vendor could use these improvements."
"There is no security included, which is something that should be improved."
"I would like for them to upgrade to 5G integration. Our customers have 4G now and the connectivity isn't good. It should be much faster."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing."
"If you don't have an Internet connection, you can’t control it."
"It needs better security."
