Overall Satisfaction with Huawei Ethernet Switches
The Huawei Ethernet Switches come in multiple versions, but we use them throughout our organisation because they are easy to install and maintain. The switches have perfect throughput, with all the network features we require. The PoE capabilities our switches have allows us to power phones and other devices without the need for a dedicated power outlet.
- There is little to no bandwith loss
- Power-over-ethernet is a welcome feature
- VLANs can be configures easily
- One of our switches encounted a hardware defect after 6 months of use (but was replaced within warranty)
- The switches appear to get hotter than what I would expect under normal use
- PoE
- VLANs
- Bandwith maintenance
- One solution means our network managers do not need extensive knowledge and can easily update the network
- They are cheaper than most alternatives
- PoE means we can power devices even in location where a power outlet is not available
While reviewing multiple manufacturers of switches, there are only so many differences when it comes to a "simple" device such a switch. Most competitors have similar features or have features we were not interested in. In the end, the UI of the Huawei switches, combined with the fair price of the devices, made us choose them.
