Huawei Enterprise Routers Reviews

We implemented the solution for one of the service providers. For customers, we have deployed Huawei Enterprise Routers for point-to-point connectivity and aggregation.

We use the solution for point-to-point connectivity, aggregation, and radio connectivity on mTLS.

The solution's technical support could be improved. Huawei should find some local engineers who don't have time limitations.

I have been working with Huawei Enterprise Routers for two and a half years.

The solution's implementation takes between one and a half and two years.

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.

We have been using the solution for the past three years.

The solution is stable. I rate it a nine out of ten.

The solution is scalable. We are a small company with 20 users, and the router is doing its job well.

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.

We use the product for network routing for enterprises.

The product has valuable support services.

Syntax in the implementation process could be easier to understand for a new user or someone who doesn’t have prior experience using the product.

We have been using Huawei Enterprise Routers for one year.

I rate the product’s stability a nine out of ten.

The product is highly scalable. I rate its scalability a nine out of ten.

The initial setup was not user-friendly compared to Cisco, as I don’t have enough experience working with Huawei. I found the syntax difficult to understand.

Huawei Enterprise Routers’s cost is average. I rate its pricing a five out of ten.

I rate Huawei Enterprise Routers a six out of ten.

I use the product to connect to various access points to extend my network. 

The internet speed reduces throughout the day. The tool is not stable. 

I have been working with the product for two years. 

The tool is not stable.

The product is stable since you can expand your network by connecting with other Huawei routers or other brand routers. I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten. I am the single person using the tool.  

There was a learning curve for me for the tool's setup since I have to go through its documentation. 

I did the tool's deployment myself without the need for a technical team. 

We have seen ROI with the product's use. 

The tool's licensing is yearly. 

I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. The product is cheaper and easier to configure. 

I'm primarily using it for WiFi. We use a basic setting. 

I'm just using it for the internet connectivity. 

The setup is simple. I'm using just the basic setup. We have an LTE setup. It is not complicated. 

There are functions there that I am not using, for example, setting up VIOP on a computer. It's nice that they are there, even though I am not taking advantage of them. 

It is stable. 

It's an affordable router. 

There is a lot of competition that they need to get in front of. 

It isn't very complex. It's very basic.

We'd like the product to be more flexible so that we could more easily manipulate some of the features. 

I'd like it if it were open-source. 

I find the solution to be a bit expensive to use in a prepaid environment.

I've been using the solution for six years.

The solution is pretty stable. If it breaks down, it might be an issue on the network itself. That has nothing to do with the router. There aren't bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It works most of the time. If the internet is slow, I can put another provider, like MTM, on, and it works fine.

I've never contacted technical support. I have a good level of experience and am able to configure it at a certain level. I'm comfortable with the technology. 

The solution is very simple to set up. 

I simply set up a SIM card, and I used a browser and use the ITFS to connect to the router. You get a password, and you can change it. However, I'm not concerned about hackers or that stuff. In terms of security, I am not concerned. 

I handle the initial setup myself. 

For us, the cost is around $300. It is a bit expensive to use it. I'm using it in a prepaid environment, which can be costly. If I was using it with a data contract, it would be less expensive. That said, the router itself is pretty inexpensive. 

I'm an end-user.

The solution has been working fine. It hasn't died, and I've used it for six years now.  

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. 

We have mobile internet service providers, and they are giving this product together with the SIM card, with the agreement of a subscription to mobile internet. It's predominantly used as part of a package, with SIM cards and mobile internet.

We've had a good experience with Huawei Routers. 

It has a surprisingly good Wi-Fi range. I have compared several others, and it's always good. There's a good range on-premises, one spot can reach quite far, and it's also good even if you put it in a metal box. It even works well also regarding the GSM connection. The connection with the mobile towers is good.

I really like the simplicity. It's simple to use and offers good connectivity.

The initial setup is easy. 

The stability was good. 

We only use very simple functions. I have no other requirements for our usage. In our experience, we just do not need anything more. 

It would be nice if they offered the most modern technology and connectivity going forward. 

There isn't really any scalability potential.

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. It is reliable. 

There isn't too much scalability available. However, we also haven't really needed to scale. 

We haven't had to contact support regarding routers. We reached out about the mobile connection. We had some issues, with the management of the mobile or IP addresses. They were okay in terms of being able to help us resolve the issue. 

Neutral

I've also used MikroTik and if you compare the two, MikroTik is a less developed brand and it's much, much more difficult. However, it's used for more professionals who can do different setups. On the other hand, for a small business, this Huawei is good. They're simple.

The solution is simple to set up. It is not overly complex. The setup itself is quick, and you can deploy it in a couple of minutes. It is very fast.

I don't know what the pricing of the solution is. 

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. 

Huawei Enterprise Routers provides core and access switches. I'm an integrator and rate this solution nine out of 10. 

The best feature about Huawei is the cost, particularly when you compare it to Cisco which has a much more expensive licensing model. The features of both solutions are almost the same and Huawei competes very well with Cisco. 

I'd like to see an improvement in market availability; it's easier to get Cisco off the shelf than Huawei.

I've been using this solution for three years. 

The product is relatively stable. 

The support is good. 

Positive

If you have a good knowledge of Cisco, it's relatively easy to deploy Huawei because the command structures are similar. If you're dealing with a very large enterprise network, deployment can take a week or two. If it's not too large and the configurations and the setup are straightforward and don't require advanced traffic engineering, implementation can be achieved within a couple of days.

Licensing costs for Huawei are generally around five times cheaper than for Cisco. 

In the enterprise space, Cisco seems to be performing better than Huawei. When you look at all the features, particularly regarding component availability, then Cisco has plenty of proprietary features that Huawei does not have. With Cisco, you can patch and update without the need to reboot and the system will function. That aspect is lacking in Huawei. 

Huawei is the poor man's option to Cisco. You pay for every feature in Cisco, whereas Huawei has some features that you can get without having to pay for them. Budget will likely determine which solution you will choose. 

I rate this product nine out of 10. 

Overall we have found the solution to be satisfactory.

We have found we have to restart the routers or reconfigured them a lot of the time, this issue should improve. The quality of the hardware needs to be more durable.

I have been using the solution for approximately three years.

There needs to be an improvement in the area of stability with this solution.

The scalability could be better.

We have a team of two engineers that do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

The price of the solution is fair.

I would recommend this solution to others if they have the budget for it.

I rate Huawei Enterprise Routers a five out of ten.
