Like

The unified cloud management makes it super simple to manage multi-branch networks, saving tons of time on setup and troubleshooting. The stable performance is impressive too: intelligent traffic steering keeps critical apps running smoothly with low latency. Plus, the built-in security features add peace of mind, and it integrates easily with our existing systems.

Dislike

I think it can support some application boost, however the list that they support doesn't have our teaching apps. and to ensure the high reliability, we use LTE as a backup, however, their LTE does not support active active, and this could not meet our requirements.

Dislike

integration with other vendors

Dislike

There are minor compatibility issues with older devices, it has YUNSHAN and V5 version, the old version has full features but with no evolution in the future, the new version lacks of some features and it is very slow to make up for it

    5.0
    Dec 5, 2025
    Choosing Huawei SD-WAN has been a game-changing decision. It unifies cloud management with LAN side, and since we have the LAN service, this attracts us a lot. Automated troubleshooting and Intelligent traffic steering can also help us have a internet without lagging, since the network lag has been bothering us a lot, our network lagging may result in our coding not being saved properly, leading a very bad result.

    Encrypted Data Exchange Between Multiple Campuses Enhanced By WAN Optimization Functions

    5.0
    Dec 22, 2025
    Our University has deployed Huawei SD-WAN solution for data exchange among several campuses and cloud-based services. We have two campuses and one training center. These three sites need to coordinate resources across campuses and exchange data, such as lab data and student information, which must be encrypted during transmission. The SD-WAN solution is an excellent choice because it allows Gbps-level data exchange using VPNs and also provides wide-area optimization functions (e.g., packet loss resistance, data compression) to ensure data security and real-time application experience. In addition, we connect to cloud resources, such as video-based online courses and experimental teaching on Alibaba Cloud, to carry out tasks like online teaching and scientific research computing. Huawei SD-WAN solution enables stable and fast access to SaaS clouds with just one hop, ensuring that students can attend online classes and conduct experiments without frequent disconnections.

    Improved Network Performance but Legacy System Integration and Costs Pose Challenges

    5.0
    Dec 6, 2025
    Huawei's SD-WAN solution has really improved our cross-region network experience. Services that are very sensitive to latency, like remote counter systems and online underwriting, can access a cloud platform that runs more smoothly and responds more consistently. Daily communication and collaboration feels noticeably easier as well.
