We performed a comparison between Cisco Ethernet Switches and H3C Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Cisco Ethernet Switches are stable."
"The solution is a high-end router that can handle a huge network with tons of traffic."
"Tech support has always been good."
"The stability is 100%."
"We can expect Cisco Ethernet Switches to last for years without issue."
"It is easy to configure and troubleshoot."
"One main feature of this solution is the POE switches."
"The solution is compatible with many brands, such as VMware."
"H3C Ethernet Switches have a fast delivery time."
"The best feature of H3C Ethernet Switches is their reliability."
"H3C Ethernet Switches is a cheap solution."
"To date, it has proven to be highly reliable. We have encountered no issues or challenges with it thus far."
"A good high-performance solution."
"We can configure the switch stack on the internet. Other vendors do not offer this facility. It is fast and easy to manage."
"The current state of Cisco Ethernet Switches leaves room for improvement, particularly in regard to central management and security. While they possess the capability to function as owners of Layer Two, they fall short in regard to security awareness. While there are some supplementary products available that can provide additional security measures, such as the deployment of virtual machines, these solutions are external and not integrated within the switch itself. For this reason, Cisco Ethernet switches could benefit from incorporating the same centralized management and security features as other companies, such as Fortinet, offer in their FortiSwitches. By being aware of potential threats such as MAC spoofing and ARP poisoning, the switch can provide a more comprehensive level of security."
"There could be an improvement in the licensing by reducing the price of the different types, such as essential, advantage, and premium."
"The solution really should offer better pricing. It would help them stay competitive."
"One area for improvement could be integrating a single dashboard for both wired and wireless networks."
"Its management should be improved."
"The GUI is not that easy."
"When you contact support, they don't give you the expert at first, they give you the beginner. Only after going around in a circle do they give you experts. Why don't they just give the expert from the beginning?"
"Cisco should strive to improve the software for its switches."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Lacks decent cloud management."
"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."
"H3C Ethernet Switches could improve by widening their product range."
"GUI needs to merge with CLI."
