I'm not sure if we would have chosen Huawei on our own if the equipment hadn't been given to us for free. It's decent enough and considerably cheaper compared to the competition. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.
We need a license to use the firewall capability. I recommend the product to customers because it provides good value for money. It has features similar to those of Cisco, but it is cheaper. Overall, I rate the product a ten out of ten.
The solution's reliability and uptime are good and have impacted our business operations. We use the solution in a secure environment and haven't faced any problems or malfunctioning. We have deployed the solution in eight to ten universities. We deployed their Wi-Fi network, switching and routers, and it's good. We faced some difficulties in configuring and managing Huawei Enterprise Routers, but now we are familiar with it. Some command lines have changed because we are used to the Cisco command line. We don't place any limitations on the command line. We normally use the command line, but we can use the GUI. We didn't face any difficulties with the solution's configuration and management. We just need to translate the IPs and point-to-point connectivity to integrate the solution with an aggregation router. Initially, the priority for customers was Cisco, but customers are now opting for Huawei Enterprise Routers for banking processes. Huawei Enterprise Routers is the best option for customers wanting to upgrade their environment during the designing phase. Huawei is actively conducting marketing sessions, sending emails, conducting webinars, and contacting customers directly to promote the solution. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
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.

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.
Deployment and maintenance of the product can be carried out by one person, but they would need to have in-depth knowledge of the solution. The solution is unique in terms of commands, and how to configure the devices. So I would recommend that anyone looking at this solution makes sure they really understand the product for it to be effective. I would rate this solution as six out of ten.
I'm a customer and end-user. Normally Cisco is used on the Backhaul network. I prefer Cisco and Juniper on Backhaul. In the access network, we can use Huawei and I prefer that. I'd rate the solution six out of ten. For an SME organization, Huawei is obviously affordable. Normally, SMEs are using it. However, on large networks like within the banking sector, they prefer to use Cisco rather than Huawei. They normally use an access site, and Backhaul is on Cisco.

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.

We're simply a customer. While we've tried the solution for a month, we're finding the stability isn't where we need it to be. Cisco is much more stable. I would recommend the solution to others as it does offer good pricing. However, you need to have good support in your area. If you have a good technical person who can help you set up your network accurately and have access to good support, it might work out fine. You also have to be careful not to overwhelm the router with users due to scalability issues. We have a school in the Gulf doing amazing however the school only needs to handle around 300 users we never hit full capacity in the first year of using it. We'll see if the hardware acts up after another year and possibly more users. On a scale from one to ten, I'd rate it at a six. My experience is slightly biased, as we don't have support in my country, so when we run into issues we tend to be on our own. However, if stability, support, and market availability come together, it has the potential to be a great product.
