A stable and easy-to-manage solution with good security and firewalls

The product is good, easy to manage , and works fine. 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. I have been working with the product for one and a…

User-friendly, easy to install, and scalable

Peplink SpeedFusion needs a thin rail model for industrial solutions. The stability has room for improvement. Peplink SpeedFusion needs to have a heavy-duty heat sink on the case to perform better. Generally, what I found is that devices that have a heat sink on a case or, more weight on a case to absorb the heat, perform a little better. I get some areas where I'm right at the hundred and fifty degrees. So I've had a few failures not many, but I found more failures than a Cisco ISO eleven or a Moxa router. Those solutions have more mass to absorb the heat. Most failures have a lot to do with the case. That's why a lot of people have a hard time pushing Peplink SpeedFusion, and they want to move to Cradlepoint because they have a much more ruggedized case.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The routers have mainstream features that fulfill our needs."

"The configuration syntax makes it easy for us to configure the device and perform troubleshooting when needed."

"The product has valuable support services."

"The solution offers good customer support and good performance."

"The setup is simple."

"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."

"It's simple to use and offers good connectivity."

"The scalability is good."

More Huawei Enterprise Routers pros

"The most valuable feature is the virtual VPN concentrator."

"The SpeedFusion feature is good. It allowed us to move away from IPsec between the sites. It is also a really easy product to deploy."

"In the Philippines, VPN usage may not be widely known, but we leverage VPN effectively within my organization. I've shared our in-house systems with other district offices, as I cover fifteen municipalities and cater to the entire province. This platform is a valuable tool for us, enabling collaborative work, and allowing us to update our services remotely."

"The valuable feature is that, after reading about its capabilities and using it for a while, Peplink SpeedFusion employs eight technologies within its SD-WAN profile, addressing issues like packet loss and latency. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support team gives quick response and efficient local support."

"Our customers find it to be an interesting and tempting solution."

"The SpeedFusion feature is the most valuable."

"It is a very stable product."

Cons

"There is not much of a technical team for Huawei available in Pakistan as compared to Cisco with respect to very complex networks."

"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."

"In my country we don't have Huawei technology, we only have Huawei routers for ISP. There is no agent for Huawei in Egypt."

"The documentation is somewhat lacking and not easy to navigate."

"The only problem I see is configuration loss."

"The configuration is complex and should be simplified."

"They should include features like IPS for security and response."

"We'd like the product to be more flexible so that we could more easily manipulate some of the features."

More Huawei Enterprise Routers cons

"There is room for improvement in enhancing security features, such as incorporating intrusion detection blocking capabilities and integrating artificial intelligence to bolster security aspects on the device."

"Its pricing is the main issue. The pricing could be improved. I would like to see an outbound policy based on the application. It is a very good feature, and most of the customers are looking for that. They can also include stronger firewall features. This would help the customers in choosing this product as the only device for the SD network."

"I believe there could be some enhancements in the enterprise segment, offering greater options or something similar."

"Their hardware support isn't the greatest. We've had one unit go down, and it took a while for them to replace it. It was in the Caribbeans, so it might be a location-related issue."

"The product needs to aggregate the bandwidth of different ISPs. It needs to improve scalability as well."

"They don't have next generation firewall, UTM, like the other competitors."

"The stability has room for improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei Enterprise Routers’s cost is average. I rate its pricing a five out of ten."

"The solution is cheap compared to Cisco."

"The product is expensive."

"There is no licence for this solution, but the solution could be cheaper."

"The price of the solution is fair."

"The price is reasonable compared to Cisco's."

"There are additional licensing costs. I am aware of additional licenses and which services are added to the router."

"The solution's price is reasonable."

More Huawei Enterprise Routers pricing and cost advice

"I rate Peplink SpeedFusion's pricing an eight out of ten."

"The cost is in the middle, a five out of ten."

"Its licensing fee is on a yearly basis. For the price, it is actually pretty good value."

"It's not cheap, but it is highly competitive."

"It has lifetime licensing. Its pricing is high for most of the markets."

"Perpetual licensing, which is good for customers that don't want any annual or subscription based license."
