The Seven Global Providers That Matter Most And How They Stack Up
Huawei: Forrester's Take
our evaluation found that Huawei (see figure 9):
› Stands out with robust security and ALM capabilities. Huawei provides broad security
coverage, such as escape prevention and traffic control over different layers. its Ci/CD and
microservice support streamline cloud-native development.
› Still needs to improve user experience and operations management. Huawei has a customer-
centric culture, but there is still much room for improvement on the ease of use and language
consistency. its operations management provides monitoring and alerting features, but it lacks
native support for Prometheus and its cost optimization features are limited.
› Is the best fit for firms seeking open source influence and hybrid cloud support. Huawei has
rich experience serving customers across the globe. it has made leading contributions to global
open source projects like Kubeedge and istio. its MCP and private cloud offerings enable cloud-
native functionality in hybrid cloud environments.
Huawei Customer reference Summary
Huawei's customers like its contribution to open source communities and its platform stability and
customer support, but they would like a better user experience, especially in operations management.
