Cons
"It should be more stable, and it should have good integration with the cloud. It should support configuration, supervision, and control through the cloud.""They could be more stable. They were not as resistant as Cisco. After some time, some of them failed. This could be because we import quite a lot of products from different horizons, so there is no guarantee of quality. In Africa, these products don't always directly come from the manufacturer. We get these products from the Middle East or Asia. Therefore, you cannot be sure that the quality is exactly similar to what you have in Europe or America.""There is room for improvement in terms of stability.""They need to have some more high-end switches.""I would like an option to create different networks within the switch.""I'd like to see a central management system included as part of their license, not as a separate purchase. Currently, we have to manage switches independently. A central portal for managing all switches and providing visibility would be great.""The solution needs better local support.""They need to enhance stability."

"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.""Lacks decent cloud management.""GUI needs to merge with CLI.""There should be more public tools for configuration and comparing products.""H3C Ethernet Switches could improve by widening their product range.""The solution’s stability could be improved."
