Basic documentation is there (if you know where to find it on their
website), sometimes just the finding the right feature require a
mindset change :-) . Debugging and troubleshooting are the real
problems IMHO. Just have a look in the logs to see what's to come.
Messages are cryptic, often misleading. Some aspects can not be really
debugged without assitance from Huawei. So if you don't have a good
Huawei guy nearby that you can run your problems past - it might be a
challenge.

The cost of equipment is not just the initial cost, it's also the cost
of support, both internally and externally. It's still quite difficult
to find people with Huawei experience.

kind regards
