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."You get security, all of the service you need, and it's easy to deploy."
"Huge companies use SD-WAN. It is largely scalable."
"The solution can scale. We haven't had any issues doing so."
"With other routing protocols, we have had to send team members to perform installations and configurations. There is a lot of work involved. However with SD-WAN, once it is installed it is fully automated, and we can do all other tasks remotely. We don't have to send staff out to the client's location. It's very independent, and we can establish SD-WAN connectivity easily. It is secure as well."
"The segmented traffic it provides is the best in the industry right now."
"The product helps to aggregate network links. The tool increases security and makes it possible for you to have remote workers."
"The solution's application control and application traffic steering tool are its most valuable aspects in terms of how we utilize the product."
"The reliability is high and we have only had to restart it once or twice over the years."
"There is a lot of information available about routers and how to configure Huawei Routers right now."
"The product is easy to improve and deploy in terms of configuration for engineers and technical executives."
"The setup is simple."
"The product is very reasonably priced."
"The solution provides support for 5G connectivity."
"Internet access is a good feature."
"The configuration syntax makes it easy for us to configure the device and perform troubleshooting when needed."
"The scalability is good."
"We have found that their SD-WAN has a lot of scope for improvement."
"It should also be much more affordable for a larger number of customers."
"Its license model needs to be improved. They always make the license model too complex. There are too many license models and too many options. They should have a flexible license model. They can improve a lot of things in terms of scalability, templates, and automation, mainly automation for onboarding a number of sites. If you want some new features, it can take quite a long time. If you want a feature and it is not yet developed, you need to have the support of the business units to have the feature developed. If the feature is not on their roadmap, it can take quite some time before you get the feature."
"The initial setup is complex and can be improved."
"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."
"We had some issues with Cisco SD-WAN but somehow we troubleshot it and things are going well. The issues have not been a large problem."
"Cisco SD-WAN could improve the integration with the cloud."
"Cisco SD-WAN doesn't have automation capabilities, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and isn't IOT-based."
"They should include features like IPS for security and response."
"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."
"The configuration is complex and should be simplified."
"The internet service for enterprise bundle should be improved."
"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."
"Syntax in the implementation process could be easier to understand for a new user or someone who doesn’t have prior experience using the product."
"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."
