We performed a comparison between Huawei Ethernet Switches and Meraki MS Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is very flexible with many different options."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its network monitoring system."
"What we like the most is that the price is reasonable and it's easy to manage."
"We use Huawei Ethernet Switches for business networks and connectivity."
"The Huawei switches are stable, easy to set up, and cheap."
"I use it on a daily basis and I find it to be quite stable."
"The technical documentation available is very good. The technical support for the customer is also good - I would give it 8 out of 10."
"Easy to use, flexible, stable, and offers great performance."
"The solution is scalable and can accommodate as many devices as needed."
"I like the portal, it's really interesting."
"We are using the MS425 series. We like the ease of use, ease of administration, and central dashboard. Meraki also has fantastic documentation and community. With its central dashboard, we can deploy a generic configuration across hundreds of switches, rather than doing it in the old school way where an individual or a group of engineers would log onto each device via CLI, which takes a long time. So, everything is connected."
"The most valuable feature is the granular visibility that they provide with a single pane of glass."
"The most valuable feature of Meraki MS Switches is user-friendliness."
"I like the portal, it's really interesting."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"Provides good statistics and it doesn't require teaching command lines."
"The interoperability of the devices, in general, on the Huawei switches is not good and is known to be not good. Maybe they can improve this a bit."
"The stability could be improved."
"The documentation needs to be better."
"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 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."
"I would like to see more training opportunities available."
"Devices should have the ability to configure more easily."
"Dashboard could be improved."
"In terms of troubleshooting, if we get more tools there is an issue."
"The lead time for delivery can be a challenge, and there is room for improvement in this area."
"The scalability and integrative abilities with on-premises systems could stand improvement."
"Sometimes the controller in the cloud that controls the access points does not have the most accurate information. There is sometimes a glitch in keeping the management controller that is in the cloud up to date."
"The pricing can be made cheaper."
"It is not compliant with the requirements of specific industries that want to set it up within a particular region or country."
"It would be good to include the command-line access someday."
"The stability of the solution isn't ideal. We've had a lot of problems with the switches. They are unstable and unreliable. We need to reboot them often."
