Huawei Enterprise Routers Reviews

The product is easy to improve and deploy in terms of configuration for engineers and technical executives.

The product's pricing could be better.

We have been using Huawei Enterprise Routers since November 2022.

It is a very stable product.

It is a scalable platform.

The product's initial setup process takes an hour or two. We visit the site, check the electrical conditions, and then install and validate the equipment. Later, we make a basic configuration. It requires two technical executives on-site and one engineer working remotely for deployment.

The product is expensive.

Cisco offers a solid product. Huawei Enterprise Routers is improving and has a large portfolio volume as well.

I advise others to take care of the licenses, which could affect the project's budget. I rate Huawei Enterprise Routers a nine out of ten.

This company uses Huawei Enterprise Routers for VPN connections, as well as some OSPF routers and VOIP protocols. 

The configuration is not very complex.

Huawei Enterprise Routers are simple. And nowadays, I believe, we have a lot of instructions on the internet, which is one of Huawei's advantages, because it was difficult to find information on how to configure some details and test how it works, for example, five years ago.

There is a lot of information available about routers and how to configure Huawei Routers right now.

It's difficult for me to explain which direction Huawei routers should improve because I have never used one in a large service provider, but I have experience with Cisco and Juniper and have worked with fragments of both, so I can compare how Huawei works. However, when it comes to small software devices and branch devices, Huawei devices are all the same, in my opinion, and they should follow the same guidelines as large providers. For example, some techniques such as SD-WAN or something similar. But I'm not sure whether Huawei uses SD-WAN or not.

I am aware that Huawei manufactures a wide range of devices. I am familiar with both storage and Huawei storage. I was very surprised to discover that they work well and make use of their internal OEM processor. If Huawei can use its own OEM processor, it could be a good step up for future use in the network devices.

I first started working with Huawei Enterprise Routers five years ago, and I used it six months ago for a project I was working on.

I was working with version 6280.

Huawei Enterprise Routers are stable. I have not had any problems.

Huawei Enterprise Routers are scalable. 

We were not required to scale for this project. However, for our new project, we will buy four routers up to 80 which will be based on SDN, software-defined networking, and Huawei Routers, and we will use them with plans to scale them.

We intend to use them in the future. Two, or three months is optimistic, but it could be a half year or more.

I have not contacted technical support.

The initial setup is easy.

It takes about the same amount of time to deploy as Cisco and Juniper, approximately two or three hours.

There are additional licensing costs.

I am aware of additional licenses and which services are added to the router.

The project was purchased by the company. They make no distinction between the license being cheaper or expensive. We buy the license because we require it.

My recommendation is that you use Huawei Routers; they are good, and they don't have any problems. For example, in my situation, it is better to get support from Huawei directly because, where many companies have left Russia.

I would rate Huawei Enterprise Routers a nine out of ten.

I have an issue with Huawei; when we can't solve a project problem, support will say, "Oh, this will be from next year, we don't want to create support, for example, Huawei Router." We can also provide you with three years of use. This is one of the minor issues that we may encounter if we use Huawei devices.

The solution's most valuable feature is incorporation with SRv6 technology. It has helped us build a 5G network.

They should include features like IPS for security and response.

We have been using the solution for three years.

The solution's technical support is efficient and available 24/7.

Positive

The solution's initial setup process is easy. The time taken for deployment varies depending on the project requirements.

The solution's price is reasonable.

The solution is robust and efficient. It works well for building an enterprise network, a carrier backbone network, or a cloud network. I rate it an eight out of ten.

I'm primarily using it for WiFi. We use a basic setting. 

I'm just using it for the internet connectivity. 

The setup is simple. I'm using just the basic setup. We have an LTE setup. It is not complicated. 

There are functions there that I am not using, for example, setting up VIOP on a computer. It's nice that they are there, even though I am not taking advantage of them. 

It is stable. 

It's an affordable router. 

There is a lot of competition that they need to get in front of. 

It isn't very complex. It's very basic.

We'd like the product to be more flexible so that we could more easily manipulate some of the features. 

I'd like it if it were open-source. 

I find the solution to be a bit expensive to use in a prepaid environment.

I've been using the solution for six years.

The solution is pretty stable. If it breaks down, it might be an issue on the network itself. That has nothing to do with the router. There aren't bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It works most of the time. If the internet is slow, I can put another provider, like MTM, on, and it works fine.

I've never contacted technical support. I have a good level of experience and am able to configure it at a certain level. I'm comfortable with the technology. 

The solution is very simple to set up. 

I simply set up a SIM card, and I used a browser and use the ITFS to connect to the router. You get a password, and you can change it. However, I'm not concerned about hackers or that stuff. In terms of security, I am not concerned. 

I handle the initial setup myself. 

For us, the cost is around $300. It is a bit expensive to use it. I'm using it in a prepaid environment, which can be costly. If I was using it with a data contract, it would be less expensive. That said, the router itself is pretty inexpensive. 

I'm an end-user.

The solution has been working fine. It hasn't died, and I've used it for six years now.  

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. 

We have been using the solution for the past three years.

The solution is stable. I rate it a nine out of ten.

The solution is scalable. We are a small company with 20 users, and the router is doing its job well.

If you're okay with using Chinese routers, the price is likely reasonable compared to other products. Huawei is considered a leading-edge technology, incorporating functionalities akin to Cisco. However, there may be reservations among governmental agencies in the United States, England, or Hungary regarding the use of Huawei due to various issues.

I rate Huawei Enterprise Routers a nine out of ten.

We use the product for network routing for enterprises.

The product has valuable support services.

Syntax in the implementation process could be easier to understand for a new user or someone who doesn’t have prior experience using the product.

We have been using Huawei Enterprise Routers for one year.

I rate the product’s stability a nine out of ten.

The product is highly scalable. I rate its scalability a nine out of ten.

The initial setup was not user-friendly compared to Cisco, as I don’t have enough experience working with Huawei. I found the syntax difficult to understand.

Huawei Enterprise Routers’s cost is average. I rate its pricing a five out of ten.

I rate Huawei Enterprise Routers a six out of ten.

We use Huawei Enterprise Routers for providing connections to environment architecture.

The product’s performance could be better. Sometimes, the active device fails, and we have to pause or switch routers off. Additionally, there could be discounts on pricing for the enterprise version.

We have been using Huawei Enterprise Routers for two to five years.

The product’s power mode is sometimes not stable.

I rate the product’s scalability an eight out of ten.

The product’s technical support team is responsive.

Positive

We used Lenovo and HP earlier.

Working with too many cache files while deploying the product is challenging. It takes a few hours to a day to configure. I provide maintenance support for customers.

The product is inexpensive, but there is an extra cost for replacement of the device.

I rate the product a nine out of ten.

We have mobile internet service providers, and they are giving this product together with the SIM card, with the agreement of a subscription to mobile internet. It's predominantly used as part of a package, with SIM cards and mobile internet.

We've had a good experience with Huawei Routers. 

It has a surprisingly good Wi-Fi range. I have compared several others, and it's always good. There's a good range on-premises, one spot can reach quite far, and it's also good even if you put it in a metal box. It even works well also regarding the GSM connection. The connection with the mobile towers is good.

I really like the simplicity. It's simple to use and offers good connectivity.

The initial setup is easy. 

The stability was good. 

We only use very simple functions. I have no other requirements for our usage. In our experience, we just do not need anything more. 

It would be nice if they offered the most modern technology and connectivity going forward. 

There isn't really any scalability potential.

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. It is reliable. 

There isn't too much scalability available. However, we also haven't really needed to scale. 

We haven't had to contact support regarding routers. We reached out about the mobile connection. We had some issues, with the management of the mobile or IP addresses. They were okay in terms of being able to help us resolve the issue. 

Neutral

I've also used MikroTik and if you compare the two, MikroTik is a less developed brand and it's much, much more difficult. However, it's used for more professionals who can do different setups. On the other hand, for a small business, this Huawei is good. They're simple.

The solution is simple to set up. It is not overly complex. The setup itself is quick, and you can deploy it in a couple of minutes. It is very fast.

I don't know what the pricing of the solution is. 

I'm a customer and end-user. 

If you've had experience with routers before, you will be fine using Huawei. If you haven't, it's a good idea to ask for assistance from someone who has some experience.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It's simple, and it works.
