Huawei Ethernet Switches Reviews

Our primary use case is for peer to peer links and for the ISP. We connect end users to it and
we have over 50 users of this product. I'm a Wireless Network Design Engineer. 

I like getting that CLI syntax, it's quite similar to the Cisco product.  

There could be some improvement in the dashboards and that's something that could be included in the next update.

I've been using the solution for four or five months. 

It's a stable solution.

Scalability is quite good.

The initial setup of the solution is quite simple. 

We looked at Cisco before going with Huawei.

I would rate this product an eight out of 10.

Huawei Ethernet Switches are used in a hospital environment to run critical applications, operation data, and medical equipment.

Huawei Ethernet Switches' most valuable features are the power supply and that they're dust-proof.

I've been using Huawei Ethernet Switches for eight to ten years.

I'm satisfied with Huawei Ethernet Switches' stability - they work smoothly, and their performance is good.

Huawei Ethernet Switches are very scalable - we can add on multiple net servers and integrate with third parties.

The initial setup is easy, and deployment takes one to two days.

We used an in-house team.

Huawei Ethernet Switches are moderately priced.

I would recommend Huawei Ethernet Switches to other users and rate them eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for connecting internal users to access systems, switch to switch.

The pricing is quite good.

We find the support to be helpful.

The solution has been stable so far.

Scalability isn't an issue.

The initial setup is pretty simple.

The company needs to provide more on hand training on the product.

They should market the product more so that companies are more aware of its existence and what it can do for them. Huawei should highlight some more use cases to help companies understand more about what they can do.

I've been using the solution for two years. 

We find the solution to be stable. I haven't dealt with crashes or freezing. There are no bugs or glitches. it's a reliable product.

The scalability is very good. It's not an issue if a company needs to expand it.

The solution works well for small, medium, and large-scale organizations.

Support has been great. They are helpful and responsive. We're quite happy with the level of service we receive. 

We did use Cisco and a few other products before we used this solution. We tried it out and really liked its capabilities. 

It's not a hard solution to set up. I wouldn't describe the process as overly complex. 

We had a third-party vendor assist with the implementation process. 

The cost is reasonable. It's not an expensive solution.

I would rate the product at an eight out of ten overall.

I'd advise potential new users to try it out. I recommend it. Its pricing is great.

We use the on-premises model for our internet company. We only use it for that situation.

The velocity of the process is the most valuable feature. 

Integration could be improved. The price could also be lower.

The solution is stable.

Huawei Switches are scalable. We have ten people that work on this solution, including engineers and other personnel.

Their technical support is very good, although I haven't been in touch with them directly yet.

The initial setup was straightforward. It took us one month to deploy this ourselves.

We have a one-year license. There are no additional costs besides the licensing fee.

The stability is good. I also find value in the recollecting the materials.

I would rate the switches as eight out of ten. Not a ten mainly because of the price.

We use the solution for access and distribution switches.

We haven't had anything to complain about yet.
The documentation needs to be better

The solution works fine. The performance is good. 

It is pretty straightforward to set up.

The documentation cloud be better

I've used the solution for three years. 

The solution is stable, and the performance is good. There aren't bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

It is scalable. 

We haven't dealt with technical support yet

Neutral

Yes. We, for example, use Cisco Switches, Netgear and Ubiquiti AP. 

It's pretty easy to implement. If you're a network engineer, the setup is not complex. The syntax is different from a Cisco environment. However, it's the same thing. It's easy to figure out.

We implement it through in-house one. 

The primary use case for this solution is more appropriate for small businesses than bigger ones, and is for internal and distribution switches, as well as for using power apps.

The most important feature that our clients look for in this solution is that it will perform how it says it will perform for the best price and that it will provide good support.

In terms of communication, implementation, and permissioning, we have on-hand implementation documents on the website that you can download if you want some second project in certain kinds of scenarios. Huawei has the advantages here, because with Cisco I can not find it. You have to do it yourself.

Durability is fine. The performance is fine compared with other products

From the customer's perspective, they usually don't care about certain disadvantages because as a technician I am the one who deploys and configures the planning and communication for them. In my opinion, most of the basic configurations of the switches are all the same.

In terms of Huawei specifically, the availability and the speed of the firmware updates are the only things wrong with Huawei. There are some vulnerabilities on the hardware. Cisco is good with releasing the patches. For Huawei, this aspect is problematic.

I would like to see performance improved, including wi-fi flexibility.

We have been working with Huawei Ethernet Switches for about four or five years. Our customers are using it.

Our clients are mixed - small, medium and large companies.

In terms of stability, I think it is a stable product. They are six years old. I haven't seen any hardware failure.

Their scalability is good. All the competition like Huawei or Cisco have their own scalability design. You can expand it.

The technical documentation available is very good. The technical support for the customer is also good - I would give it 8 out of 10.

The initial setup is ok. I think they're all the same common lines, they're all standard configuration. Everything's fine. For me, on the technical side, I didn't find any disadvantages.

The deployment time depends on the size, plan and design of the deployment.

We usually deploy it ourselves for the customer and they will call us if anything happens.

I think Cisco has the advantage in terms of durability because they have been in existence for more than 20 years, whereas Huawei just started a few years back. Cisco has a big track record of experience, R&D, and more.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Huawei Ethernet Switches an eight. Overall, I would recommend this product.

The primary use case of this solution is for connections in an enterprise company.

The most valuable features are that it is easy to use, easy to configure, it's priced well, and the operating system is easy to understand.

It would be helpful to have more commands.

Technical support needs improvement.

I would like to see more training opportunities available. It is very rare to find training with quality.

I have been using the Huawei Ethernet Switches for six years.

This product is stable and I have not experienced any issues.

We can scale this solution.

I have tired to contact technical support but I was not able to connect with anyone.

Previously, I worked with Cisco. Cisco provides training every year, which is helpful.

The initial setup was easy. It took one hour to set up and deploy.

The price of Huawei ethernet switches is cheap.

This is a good product and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use it for architecture, commissioning, provisioning, installation and product shooting, reports and networking from TV, IP broadbands, networks, large networks, longer networks, DWDM systems, IPTV server, SIT Server, POYT, and also CCTV networks for security cameras.

The most valuable feature is the audit systems. I also like that it can synchronize on the alternate configuration of products together at the same time.

What I like about Huawei is that it has a very fast response to troubleshooting problems and regulates reports with very great production. Instead of other manufacturers that are pretty slow sometimes to expand. That is why I work with Huawei and not other solutions. Other manufacturers should speed up their answers.

It's a problem when you have several large networks and the problem is not at a specific point, but many different problems together. 

In the next release, I would like to see an increase in the performance of DDoS protection systems against all kinds of attack packets.

I have around 20 years of experience using Ethernet Switches. 

In terms of stability, I think this is the best on the market. 

I contact two places for support, Romania and China. I don't only use support for troubleshooting but also for conception and networks. I don't have any trouble with them.

I would rate it a 9.5 out of ten. Not a ten because the life span of the solution is too short.
