We performed a comparison between Cisco Ethernet Switches and Nokia Ethernet Service Switch 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."The main features of this solution are performance and ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the performance of the product."
"The solution is a high-end router that can handle a huge network with tons of traffic."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches are more stable than other products."
"We can easily integrate the product with any OEM solutions."
"The installation is very straightforward."
"Good and stable operational experience with nearly no loss of hardware and very few software bugs."
"It is a scalable solution."
"On several occasions we encountered major issues with the solution and have found the Nokia technical support to be quite supportive."
"The most valuable feature is the product's availability."
"The most valuable features are user functionality and interoperability."
"The highest value lies in aggregating the data to improve both traffic management and device utilization, emphasizing the importance of engagement and liability."
"The performance and reliability are the solution's most valuable features."
"We've had hardware problems like SSDs, ports, networking, things like that."
"There's are other products that are better for network programmability. Cisco isn't as programmable as some preferred vendors. For example, on iOS 6 products, you have to commit the change directly on the running configuration. If you have a generic product you can do this, so it can improve in programmability."
"I would like for the solution to have more more security features and be more user-friendly."
"The product could improve in the area of simulated switches."
"The price could be improved by being reduced."
"In the future, some of the features could be updated to support the latest functions."
"An improvement would be to change their market intention. Almost all the Cisco switches are now coming with a license called DNA. D for Delta, N for number and A for apple. That feature is required, he must purchase it and it is a mandatory thing that has been introduced. This is not matching with the Asian market."
"The typical areas of concern for Cisco Ethernet Switches are not technical but cost including support costs. I’ve never liked the fact that end users cannot download security patches without a support contract. I’ve had trouble getting approval to renew Cisco support contracts due to the cost."
"I would like to see more collaboration with advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) vendors, such as Itron."
"I would suggest improvements regarding enhancing support response times and implementing user interface modifications for quicker and more user-friendly interactions."
"The segment routing could be improved, and they could also transfer a lot of legacy to the cloud domain."
"The solution needs more monitoring tools."
"I would prefer that all the licenses be open for our use."
