Find out in this report how the two Routers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has good performance."
"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The performance is quite good."
"The product can help teach valuable life lessons about what not to do when building a network."
"Cisco Enterprise Routers are simple. Everything is in a proper manner. You don't need to upgrade or do other things on a daily basis. Cisco sends you the updates, and they are automatically updated. They are good."
"The solution is easily scalable."
"It is a stable solution."
"The stability of the solution is better than most other solutions."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its ability to implement layer three protocols and layer two protocols like OSPS in BSS and BSC environments, with the Nexus Cisco 7000."
"Solution is stable."
"I have been able to connect the solution to many platforms such as Windows, Apple, and Android."
"This product uses a non-proprietary command line, which makes it compatible across many different systems."
"The scalability is good."
"It's simple to use and offers good connectivity."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei Enterprise Routers is if have two networks at different geographical locations with a great deal of distance they work together as if they are on the same cloud network."
"The most valuable features for us are NAT, ATS, server capabilities, VPN tunneling, and management."
"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."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"If Cisco can give you one license and allow you to use all the features, that would be the best thing. We are using it only as a voice gateway, and there are other options available, but we need to procure licenses to use those options. We can use it as a security device, or we can use it for connecting the LAN side, but for that, we need all those licenses. They can provide one license and allow you to use all the features. This is my recommendation for Cisco."
"The security of the solution could be a bit better."
"It would be good if Cisco Enterprise Routers could improve their integration with other vendors. For example the AGLP protocol is supported by Cisco and not by any other vendors."
"Depending on the customer, the initial setup could be complex."
"In terms of room for improvement, I think that there is a need for additional administration."
"The solution could improve by having multiple features inclusive of the router, such as a free firewall and VPN. Additionally, it should be a generic box that can act as a router, firewall, and switch."
"The product would be more scalable if it could operate with other brands."
"The solution's cloud management capabilities could be better."
"Lacks sufficient market availability."
"There is not much of a technical team for Huawei available in Pakistan as compared to Cisco with respect to very complex networks."
"They should include features like IPS for security and response."
"Huawei Enterprise Routers can improve by enhancing their security. The software architecture and the operating system that runs on their router and the security capability are not as strong when compared to Cisco."
"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."
"The internet service for enterprise bundle should be improved."
"It would be better if the vendor provided support for small enterprises."
"The product's pricing could be better."
