Products deliver quickly and allow us to bypass SFPs
H3C's scalability has negative points. You can buy a low model of Cisco and then upgrade it to a higher model, and then change the labels. This is what some people do on the gray market. The product is scalable in a negative way. You can buy a cheap model, install the software, and convert it to a higher model when the hardware is not supported because it's not a higher model. You upgrade the software and change the label. From this point, H3C is a better product. You cannot change the model number. You cannot upgrade it to another model. We have about 2,000 users using H3C Ethernet Switches across our clients.

"They're straightforward and stable."
"H3C Ethernet Switches have a fast delivery time."
"H3C Ethernet Switches is a cheap solution."
"Offering a five-year warranty, compared to competitors' one-year warranties, is a unique advantage of H3C switches."
"To date, it has proven to be highly reliable. We have encountered no issues or challenges with it thus far."
"The best feature of H3C Ethernet Switches is their reliability."

Cons

"The cost and the integration with other solutions could be better."
"The technical support services need improvement in terms of communication."
"When we try to do configuration changes sometimes it malfunctions."
"The configuration of 3Com H3C Switches could be better."
"I think there's nothing that needs to be improved because the company is no longer in existence."

"To enhance H3C switches for the next release, improving the user interface is crucial."
"The only improvement needed is the significantly better lead time for delivery compared to other American products. In terms of technology, there isn't much difference, especially since X3 is a subsidiary of XP, and they use the same technology. However, the delivery time is notably better."
"There should be more public tools for configuration and comparing products."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
