Which Huawei device is equivalent to the MikroTik 3011 router?

There is no direct equivalent to the MikroTik 3011 router from Huawei, but there may be a good alternative to it: the Huawei AR1200, as it has similar features and specifications, including: 5x Gigabit Ethernet ports 1x SFP port 2x USB 2.0 ports 1.4GHz quad-core CPU 1GB RAM OpenWrt support The Huawei AR1200 may be a bit more expensive than the MikroTik 3011 router, but it's still budget-friendly.

Good performance, stable, but price could be reduced

Easy to configure and troubleshoot, but they need more visibility in the licensing model

Huawei needs to be a bit more open with their licensing model. What I find is that when you buy equipment, you expect that you have a particular feature. By the time you want to use that feature, you realize that you need to acquire a license for it. That is the one thing that I think they need to improve on. Essentially, they need to open their licensing model such that when a customer buys a device, they have a full view of all of the available licenses for it. It's not at the time of use that the customer will now be informed that they need to purchase an additional license.

Easy to set up, user-friendly, and reliable

I'm also familiar with Cisco which I used at another company. Cisco is a little bit expensive to acquire. With MikroTik, came with the same solution and you can use so many features. In MikroTik, you can use maybe two routers or one router to cover all your requirements, which you can also do on Cisco. This product is also cheaper than Cisco. Cisco has a lot of complications even with the configurations. On the price issues or even support issues, you may need to have so many routers when using Cisco for a simple solution. If you can use only one switch to clear your solution, why don't you use MikroTik? You don't have to use Cisco to have more than one switch to solve your problem.
