Cons
"Some experts say that the price may be lower or that the ethernet switches are complex to set up and manage, maybe because of limited port density, supports, and quality of service, like capabilities.""They need to develop better UI. Other products have a nice GUI.""If possible, we'd like to see support in our country, but it will be difficult as we are located in Iran.""The additional features which I would like to suggest is to implement user friendly GUI for easier network management.""Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved.""Their price is quite high compared to their competitors.""Scalability-wise, this solution is not designed for small businesses.""It would be nice if they can provide support for local authentication protocol, which is a security feature. It is not supported right now. They already support security features, so adding some local authentication features would be very nice. Currently, they only support external databases for the stuff for the authentication feature. If they could improve the existing feature or add a feature to support local databases, local username, password authentication, I think it would be very amazing."

"The solution should make the text report more accessible.""Huawei Ethernet Switches have not automated its firmware.""The availability and the speed of the firmware updates are the only things wrong with Huawei. There are some vulnerabilities on the hardware.""I would like the tool to improve its operational efficiency, speed, security features, and functionalities.""We would like to have a greater level of automation using this solution. The customer support could also be faster.""The graphical user interface could be much better.""The GUI could be improved. It could be much more adaptable.""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."
