Huawei NGFW Reviews

We use them in the B2B segment, data centers, and the Internet segment with NGFW features like routing and searching.

For threat prevention, the most effective features are IPS, antivirus, and cloud sandboxing.

Huawei Firewall, in terms of intrusion detection capabilities, is good based on the GUI application. Some features are good. They are penetrating the Middle East and Asian markets, though not as much in other regions. Most of our financial customers are government clients.

We have used the Huawei firewall, especially in B2B. The VPN feature is very effective and easy to deploy.

The product is my organization’s data center firewall. We have multiple virtual systems for different segments of the data center, and we deploy different internal and external policies for DMZ networks, public networks, internal networks, and internal users.

We have deployed the solution in our organization for segment-level security. It enables us to configure different policies and restrictions for specific users within the same subnet.

We started with the first firewall sale about eight years ago. In Argentina, they didn't use Huawei firewalls back then, so it was hard to sell them. But now we have many firewalls. For example, one of our customers has a network with branch offices using Huawei firewalls.

They have a big firewall in the central office and use VPNs to establish connections between the branches and the central office. They also use features like antivirus, content inspection, and firewall inspections implemented in hardware.

One of the best things about Huawei NGFW is its ability to integrate Azure solutions. Every year, we can add new features to the firewall. The key advantage is the integration across the entire network, so it doesn't work in isolation. For example, we can manage everything with features like the secret manager or analytic IDs. The solution is straightforward. It can also detect intrusions.

Another significant aspect is the challenge of managing internet usage among both customers and employees. Sometimes, maintaining control over the websites accessed by employees can prove difficult. 

We use the solution to protect the network by filtering incoming internet traffic.

The solution is easy to manage and has the best dashboard features.

We use USG6635 for our DC core and the other one, USG6621, is for our internet edge.

We didn't face any compatibility issues with the Huawei Firewall. In our environment, there are no compatibility issues. We are using Huawei as a core technology environment for routing, switching, et cetera.

We have found the initial setup to be straightforward. 

It is a scalable solution.

The feature set is rich. They already provide more features than any other product on the market right now.

Technical support is excellent. 

We use the solution for network monitoring.

We can set up the tool virtually before implementing it. It supports AI.

Our customers are enterprises and data centers. We have many customers, such as in education verticals, ISP branch offices, and data centers, where the solution can integrate with our SDM solution.

Huawei's MDM solution integrates everything. It can integrate with the existing switching, the SD-WAN, the firewall, and other optical solutions. The benefit of having the Huawei service was that we could manage end-to-end. We didn't need separate controllers for each product line, which was one of the biggest benefits. From one portal, we can manage different types of LAN and security devices, and also RAS networks.

I am impressed with the product's antivirus features, strong encryption, policy implementation and easier installation. 

The tool does not have web functionality. It needs to also have high end firewalls.
