We performed a comparison between Broadcom StrataDNX and Cisco 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."Easy to integrate with any of the other hardware platforms."
"The good thing about the StrataDNX is that the Broadcom family is very interchangeable, so they work well with different optical transceivers."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches are more stable than other products."
"Cisco as a whole is flexible."
"These switches help to build the best network, the way we want it."
"You can tap into all of the features for your virtual workload environment."
"Cisco is the world leader in these systems. The expertise they have is very good compared to others. We can trust Cisco from a technical perspective."
"The solution effectively provides a stable connection for users."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Cisco switches are that once you get your configuration you can rest assured that it will work. The OS is not going to be failing intermittently or anything like that. Once you get your configuration end-goal right, the firmware and the OS are usually very stable enough to work a long time without support. Support is needed once in a while. My experience is that the Cisco switches are usually rocket."
"It is a scalable solution, and we have more than 35 customers who use it."
"The number of surfaces that can be handled by the chipset could be increased."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"Because of the cyber attacks, they should focus more on VoIP."
"If we can have fewer bugs on our switches, that would be great. We had bugs that caused the switch to reboot. There is probably a problem with the software."
"Cisco is not user-friendly. It would be best if you had a technical expert. The graphical user interface is more like a command line, and most functionalities are on the command line."
"It'll also help if it can support more network utilization."
"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?"
"If Cisco Ethernet Switches can work both on-prem and in the cloud, it would be an advantage."
"In terms of what could be improved, there is the bulk issue that is sometimes experienced with Cisco products we've used."
"I don't like that you have to have a license of 10 years to use the switch. I don't understand that policy."
