Cons
"We'd prefer if the product, in general, was easier to use. It can be a bit difficult.""The documentation should be improved from Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. Although it hints or refers to being able to do certain operations, they try to get you to load the software instead. They need to be more open with their documentation on using the web interface and give the client the option to use the software or not. This improvement is not on the switch itself, it is in the packaging.""Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches could improve their price, it is high.""It's an old tool that needs to be more competitive with other solutions that are available on the market such as HP, or Dell.""Having the option for a web-based interface would be an improvement over being forced to use the CLI.""Their price is quite high compared to their competitors.""The pricing for this solution needs to be improved.""Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches’s stability and pricing needs improvement."

More Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches Cons →

"It’s hard to get technical support.""The solution needs to provide GUI commands.""Huawei Ethernet Switches should improve its user interface.""The performance has been slow at times.""Huawei has a lot of issues; it's not in sync properly. For instance, if the ONT is down, there's another problem with another ONT that is not functioning correctly. Even after configuring the siding, I cannot reach some other side, and I don't know why it's happening.""Huawei Switch can make further advancements, as the current CLI lacks functionality. The majority of tasks are performed through the CLI, making it difficult for those without technical expertise to work with. They should enhance the CLI of the access switches to make them more user-friendly. The GUI of the Ethernet Switches should also be improved to allow non-technical users to perform technical tasks with ease. Additionally, the documentation of the solution could improve.""In the next release, I would like to see an increase in the performance of DDoS protection systems against all kinds of attack packets.""The graphical user interface could be much better."
