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 provides good consolidation, centralization, and manageability for edge routers."
"Cisco SD-WAN is a very good product."
"Troubleshooting is swift, allowing for fast turnaround times whenever we encounter an issue."
"It's a complete solution with many security features."
"The solution can scale. We haven't had any issues doing so."
"I like creating policies. This way, we can better utilize our WAN circuit and get better rates. Its GUI is user-friendly, and the CLI is also great."
"The orchestration on the VPN connection between remote locations is a fantastic feature. I used it some time ago."
"Customizing SD-WAN is very easy because you can define two colors. You can define two different operators. You can deploy a partial mesh, a full mesh, or hub-and-spoke totally differently. If you want to do this on a DMVPN solution, that's really hard."
"There is a lot of information available about routers and how to configure Huawei Routers right now."
"It is a robust and efficient solution."
"The most valuable features for us are NAT, ATS, server capabilities, VPN tunneling, and management."
"The product has valuable support services."
"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 configuration syntax makes it easy for us to configure the device and perform troubleshooting when needed."
"The product is good, easy to manage , and works fine."
"The product's application delivery feature needs improvement."
"The security features could be improved."
"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 doesn't have automation capabilities, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and isn't IOT-based."
"The solution could have a better web interface to simplify changing configurations."
"The integration of Cisco SD-WAN with cloud solutions could improve. For example, if any of the applications are hosted in the Amazon AWS cloud we can use a virtual transit gateway for integrating Cisco SD-WAN."
"Cisco SD-WAN could improve the integration with the cloud."
"Cisco products are a little bit complicated, so making them a little bit easier would be an improvement."
"If Huawei can use its own OEM processor, it could be a good step up for future use in the network devices."
"The solution's technical support could be improved."
"The internet service for enterprise bundle should be improved."
"Essentially, they need to open their licensing model such that when a customer buys a device, they have a full view of all of the available licenses for it."
"It would be better if local storage management was more flexible, so that unused data could be easily removed."
"The only problem I see is configuration loss."
"There is not much of a technical team for Huawei available in Pakistan as compared to Cisco with respect to very complex networks."
"The internet speed reduces throughout the day. The tool is not stable."
