Huawei Ethernet Switches Reviews

Our clients are using Huawei Ethernet Switches to power their cameras, and ethernet-powered devices. Additionally, the solution is connected to workstations, other endpoints, and wireless access points.

Huawei Ethernet Switches has helped my organization to secure many LAN projects.

The most valuable features of Huawei Ethernet Switches are high reliability, ease of deployment, and manageability.

Huawei Switch can make further advancements as the current CLI lacks coherence as we have in Cisco CLI. 

Additionally, the available online documentation and training for the solution could improve.

I have been using Huawei Ethernet Switches for approximately five years.

It is very stable.

The solution is very scalable.

The support I have received from Huawei Ethernet Switches is better than Cisco.

I rate the support from Huawei Ethernet Switches an eight out of ten.

Positive

Cisco Catalyst Switches. Most cases because of client's budget.

In-house implementation.

Huawei Ethernet Switches are cheaper than other competitors.

None

My advice to others is I would recommend this solution. However, if budget is not a concern then I would recommend Cisco, they are the best.

I rate Huawei Ethernet Switches a seven out of ten.

Huawei Ethernet Switches come with native ACs. 

The product should improve cloud capability. 

I have been working with the solution for seven years. 

I rate the solution's stability an eight out of ten. It is very stable. 

I rate the tool's scalability a ten out of ten. 

Huawei Ethernet Switches has good technical support. 

Positive

I rate Huawei Ethernet Switches' deployment a ten out of ten. You can deploy it in five minutes. You need to do a POC before actual implementation. 

I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten. 

We have enterprise customers for Huawei Ethernet Switches. It is very scalable and cheaper than other vendors like Cisco. I rate the product a ten out of ten. 

The solution is deployed on-premises.

We find the technological features most valuable.

Our company uses this product in a country with an unstable power supply, so it would be nice to see improvements in the device's durability regarding power shortages in the product's next release.

I have been using this solution for ten years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

Our experience with customer service and support has been relatively okay.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The pricing for this solution can be lower in comparison to its competitors.

We are currently evaluating Mellanox and Aruba.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. The solution is good, but the durability of the device can be improved, and the new release can include zero-touch provisions and features. I advise people to use this solution because it's very conducive to tropical environments and can withstand very hot weather conditions.

I am a Huawei reseller, so I supply these switches to my customers. The use case is just for general corporate office connectivity from the desktops through to the data center.  

The feature that is the most valuable depends on who the customer is. The power of the Ethernet is important for us and for our clients. The multi-gig options are important for us all. All the routing protocols that they have are important for us. The level of importance of each of these features depends on the specific business requirements for a specific company.  

I do not know if I can think of a product feature that really needs to be improved. Especially right now, the most important thing for customers is cost and Huawei does have a very good price point. They are very competitive from a cost perspective. From a technology perspective and in my economic environment with my customers, Huawei has everything that I and the customers need.  

If I have one potential issue, it is that the technical support does not understand English so well. The issue is just that they should understand and speak English pretty well to provide proper technical support and solutions.  

I have been using Huawei switches for about a year now.  

Huawei switches are stable products.  

The scalability of the product is excellent. We do not have any real problems with the product and we are able to scale really well. I am talking about both upward scaling and linear scaling. Huawei does what it does very well.  

Being totally honest, we do have a problem with technical support and language. The technical support people are supposed to be able to understand and reply in English. Sometimes we just do not understand what they are saying or they do not understand us. So getting support from Huawei can be a little bit tricky.  

I am talking about the support teams specifically — like if I phone the service desk. Otherwise, the support is good. Their swapping process is fine. The way they release the software upgrades is all fine. They just need to be able to communicate better.  

The initial setup is straightforward. It is not an issue.  

The Huawei Ethernet Switching products are reasonably priced and competitive in the marketplace.  

I use the product, so I definitely think that I can recommend Huawei as a very good alternative to other highly-praised brands. The world does not have to just use Cisco. Huawei is very cost-effective. They have all the features. I would not have a problem recommending it to anybody.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate this product as an eight-out-of-ten. 

Huawei Ethernet Switches are functional. It has a good response to resolve issues. 

I have issues with the support's communication language. The tool's UI can be better. 

I have been working with the solution for more than three years. 

Huawei Ethernet Switches' installation is simple for someone with the required skill and knowledge. The tool will be up and running within an hour. 

I rate the product an eight out of ten. 

Huawei Switches are part of our network elements. It is part of our internal IT infrastructure to connect various aspects of our network domains together.

The affordability of this solution has been most useful. 

We would like to have a greater level of automation using this solution. The customer support could also be faster.

We have been using Huawei Switches since 2018. 

We have not experienced any challenges with stability. 

We are a small business and have not tested the scalability of this solution. 

The customer support team for this solution are slow to respond.

Neutral

The initial setup is straightforward. You don't need a highly technical person to set it up. It is more or less a plug and play setup. The setup was completed in less than one week. 

One or two of our engineers worked with Huawei on the purchase to ensure that it was in line with our own design and network topology. Huawei engineers assisted with the setup. 

This is an affordable solution.

For small shops and IT businesses, this solution comes at an affordable price point. If your business requires higher quality and a higher level of security, I would recommend Cisco or Juniper. I would definitely recommend Huawei to small businesses and enterprises that are getting started.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We use this solution for access switches in remote locations.

We don't have any issues with the security of Huawei Ethernet Switches.

It integrates well. There is no problem with their integration.

We have been using Huawei Ethernet Switches for six years.

Our engineers didn't know much about Huawei.

We have a team of five to maintain this solution. They are technicians and engineers.

We don't have an issue with the price. It is cheaper than Cisco.

Our licensing fees are every three years.

We would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Huawei Ethernet Switches a ten out of ten.

The stability is good.

The configuration could be improved and deployment should be easier. It's also quite expensive.

I have been using this solution for a long time.

Huawei Ethernet Switches are both scalable and stable. 

From time to time I have contacted customer support; they are reliable and powerful.

The price is one of the only issues I have regarding this solution; it's not cheap.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Huawei Ethernet Switches a rating of nine. If they lowered the price, I would give them a higher rating.
