Huawei Enterprise Routers Reviews

I use it for enterprise campus network solutions.

The only problem I see is configuration loss. Sometimes you configure it and it loses the connection, so you have to do it again.

I have been using Huawei Enterprise Routers for more than four years.

The scalability is good.

I think technical support is better than others. I think it is better than Cisco or HP. I think the company has local Huawei companies and it is easy for us to communicate with them.

The pricing is cheaper than other competitors.

I would rate Huawei Enterprise Routers an eight out of ten.

Our clients needed to deploy a student management system that included a head office and several branches and included an additional SD-WAN solution for the routers. We are a reseller and partner of Huawei and provide support to our clients. I'm a system engineer.  

The solution offers good customer support, ease of deployment, and good performance. 

There are some complexities with the configuration; if they could improve that it would make a big difference.

I've been using this solution for three years. 

The solution is generally stable. Of course there could be issues down the line with patching support or software upgrades but for now we're happy and everything works well.

The solution is scalable. 

Technical support provided a quick response. 

Neutral

The initial setup is straightforward, the CLI codes are simple. We prepared the low-level design in advance, so deployment just took a few days. 

We've taken out a three-year license that includes support. The licensing is not cheap but it's a fair price. 

I rate this solution eight 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.

I used the solution for those who connect to it to have internet access.

I have been able to connect the solution to many platforms such as Windows, Apple, and Android.

I have been using the solution for two months.

I have found the solution to be stable.

I have four users using the solution and it has worked well in terms of scalability. I have connected up to eight devices at a time and it has been operating well.

I have not had any issues that I would need to have contacted the support.

I have used D-Link in the past.

The installation was easy, you put the SIM card in and connect.

I installed the solution myself and it only takes approximately five min.

There is no licence for this solution, but the solution could be cheaper.

I am going to continue using the solution in the future, it has been working good for me.

I rate Huawei Enterprise Routers a nine out of ten.

We use our Huawei routers as a gateway to the internet, or for VPN connections from our head office to multiple branches.

The most valuable features for us are NAT, ATS, server capabilities, VPN tunneling, and management.

The GUI works well in this technology.

Additional security enhancement would make this solution better.

In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better bandwidth management, more granular web filtering, and portal authentication.

We have been using Huawei Enterprise Routers for three to four years.

Based on my experience of about four years, I think that Huawei Enterprise Routers are pretty stable.

I think that scalability is okay.

We have three to four people who work with this product in our company. We have managers, a network architect for the design based on what the customer wants, network engineers for the deployment, and after-sales support. 

We handle the level one and level two support for our customers.

For complex support that cannot be handled by the local engineers, Huawei provides technical assistance.

We sell Cisco routers in addition to Huawei. The Huawei routers sell in higher volumes because the price is much cheaper than Cisco.

The complexity of the initial setup depends on the environment. We look at what the client needs in terms of their primary requirements and what the router will be used for. It may be for an internet connection or using a VPN to connect the head office to multiple branches. We have to set the IP range and the DHCP server. We also have to set up the IP range to be allowed for the subnet, along with what IP range can be used to access the internet, or what IPs should be blocked from services.

For a simple deployment, it may take one or two hours, whereas a more complex deployment may take four to eight hours.

The deployment requires at least one person, but for the VPN connection, it will require at least two for the testing. In terms of managing this solution, it depends on how many routers are on the North side of the network operation center.

We provide training and certification to set up the router. Once it is deployed, we make sure that it is 100% working. Aside from the training, we provide a deployment manual that serves as a guide if there is ever a complex setup. It is something that engineers can follow to configure it.

Huawei offers a cheaper enterprise router solution than Cisco.

When comparing Huawei to Cisco, the performance and the configuration are similar. The appliances have similar specifications, and the support is similar as well.

Huawei Enterprise Routers perform well but there is always room for improvement.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
