We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches and Cisco Linksys 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."It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."
"We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."
"The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."
"Enables direct access to clusters."
"This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
"The fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper."
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."
"I found the feature of having no downtime to be the most valuable aspect of the tool."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches are pretty good overall."
"They have so many series that can cater to SMBs, banks, or telcos. They have a wide range of options."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is it is easy to manage."
"It is a stable and good product."
"This product is fine and works well in the background."
"Ability to expand connections."
"Administration can be done using the web-based interface."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."
"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"The network connection should be improved."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region."
"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."
"I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches."
"It should be cheaper. We need a better price from Cisco. Its initial setup and support should also be improved."
"The solution's support can use improvement because they are not very good at following up."
"Linksys support is subpar."
"Pricing is an area with a shortcoming since the solution is expensive."
"It would be nice if they can provide support for local authentication protocol, which is a security feature. It is not supported right now. They already support security features, so adding some local authentication features would be very nice. Currently, they only support external databases for the stuff for the authentication feature. If they could improve the existing feature or add a feature to support local databases, local username, password authentication, I think it would be very amazing."
"The solution is costly."
"Integration with other networks is possible, but you have to configure it."
"We are expecting one software that can run across all of Cisco hardware, software, and Cisco Switch router, similar to what Juniper has."
