We performed a comparison between Cisco SD-WAN and Huawei Enterprise Routers based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two WAN Edge solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution can scale. We haven't had any issues doing so."
"The user experience is pretty good."
"The segmented traffic it provides is the best in the industry right now."
"The most valuable features of Cisco SD-WAN include the DIA and its integration with Cisco Umbrella for DNS security."
"The most valuable features, application awareness, and failover resilience, stand out as key considerations for users."
"The solution is great at aggregating the traffic and then sending it in one direction."
"The tool is stable, and its troubleshooting capabilities are good. It helps us identify and fix any issues. It simplifies VPN setup for both side-to-side and multisite connections. This allows for easier data sharing between main and branch offices, creating a local network feel even for distant sites."
"It is really easy to deploy and use. It is also easy to use for failovers and designing solutions. The rollout is really quick. It is easy to adjust and roll out."
"The product’s technical support team is responsive."
"The setup is simple."
"The most valuable features for us are NAT, ATS, server capabilities, VPN tunneling, and management."
"The product is very reasonably priced."
"The scalability is good."
"It is a robust and efficient solution."
"When we started, the connection was amazing for the 100G between the switches and the co-switch. What the students typically use for school is a maximum is 40 so they now have faster technology."
"The product is easy to improve and deploy in terms of configuration for engineers and technical executives."
"Better pricing and greater security would be nice to see."
"They have taken away our ability to do what we are good at, which is working on the CLI, the interface right on the router. They have limited the commands so much that troubleshooting is nearly impossible."
"Cisco SD-WAN could improve the integration with the cloud."
"Cisco SD-WAN could improve on the ease of integration, the configuration should be easier. At the moment the process is more command line based and it would be better if it was able to be done through an interface."
"The product's application delivery feature needs improvement."
"The solution needs to be more flexible around legacy devices."
"Cyber security should also be implemented in the solution, along with maybe implementation of AI/ML."
"When you buy the equipment, they should already put it into your cloud account. It should already be set up so that we can manage with vBond. We came across an issue where it wasn't resolved in the DNS. We are using Umbrella, so we need to create a VPN IPSec tunnel to Umbrella to enable the users to browse. I would really like to see an internal built-in firewall so that we don't have to go to Umbrella. This functionality might already be there. We are quite new to this solution, and we are still learning about it."
"The internet service for enterprise bundle should be improved."
"Lacks sufficient market availability."
"We have encountered issues while integrating the product with Enterprise Management Systems. Huawei platform is good for Huawei but we face issues when we integrate it with other models."
"If Huawei can use its own OEM processor, it could be a good step up for future use in the network devices."
"It would be better if the vendor provided support for small enterprises."
"They should include features like IPS for security and response."
"There is not much of a technical team for Huawei available in Pakistan as compared to Cisco with respect to very complex networks."
"The configuration is complex and should be simplified."
