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."I have found the solution to have good scalability. Cisco is the pioneers on switching technology, they are very good."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches are rugged, secure, and scalable. It provides smart devices and reliable switches."
"The initial setup is really easy."
"The queue functionality is the solution's most valuable feature, specifically because we are delivering a lot of Layer 2 services. Layer 2 protocol tunnels work well on Cisco switches."
"We have found it to be scalable. We have approximately three million subscribers."
"The solution can scale."
"What I like the most is the performance and the latency that Cisco provides."
"We can easily integrate the product with any OEM solutions."
"The most valuable feature is the product's availability."
"The performance and reliability are the solution's most valuable features."
"The most valuable features are user functionality and interoperability."
"On several occasions we encountered major issues with the solution and have found the Nokia technical support to be quite supportive."
"The highest value lies in aggregating the data to improve both traffic management and device utilization, emphasizing the importance of engagement and liability."
"There are some GUI configuration improvements that they can implement in the future for the product models."
"In terms of features, they tick all the boxes as of now. That could be because we tailor the solution around the product. I have not seen anything that pulls me back or is not working well for me. However, there could be better integration with the network monitoring systems. It doesn't mean it is currently not there, but there could be better discoverability with some of the network monitoring systems to be able to have more visibility. When you're setting up a control room, you can have more visibility into what is going on in the network. It has been doing that, but it can do that more."
"The solution really should offer better pricing. It would help them stay competitive."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"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."
"The price could be lower. It's quite expensive."
"Cisco's pricing can be a concern, particularly with support fees."
"I don't like that you have to have a license of 10 years to use the switch. I don't understand that policy."
"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 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."
"I would prefer that all the licenses be open for our use."
