Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents. I can always call technical support and ask them if I forget something and I'll get the support, but I shouldn't need to do that. Anything can be improved and unfortunately a good switch is not cheap but there's no choice if you need a special router.

"The solution is very inexpensive, the documentation is very good, and technical support is also very good."
"The Huawei switches are stable, easy to set up, and cheap."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei Ethernet Switches is the power ethernet which allows you to generate hubs to 10 Gbps data on the ethernet cable."

"The solution is scalable."
"They're straightforward to set up."

Cons

"The availability and the speed of the firmware updates are the only things wrong with Huawei. There are some vulnerabilities on the hardware."
"The configuration is very difficult even for someone who is already familiar with the configuration process."
"It could potentially be difficult to get parts depending on where you live."
"The configuration could be improved and deployment should be easier. It's also quite expensive."

"There could be improvements in Huawei, such as adding features that Cisco has and Huawei currently lacks."
"It’s hard to get technical support."
"The solution needs to provide GUI commands."

"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"While the solution is good for the light commercial market or for the residential market, it's not ideal for the commercial market, for example, a big enterprise or data center."
