We performed a comparison between Cisco Ethernet Switches and H3C 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."Technical support is excellent. They are very helpful."
"One valuable feature is that you can string a number of switches together, and the fact that there are various methods to connect them, such as by stacking."
"The stability is 100%."
"I'm satisfied with Cisco switches. It's stable and beautiful."
"Good and stable operational experience with nearly no loss of hardware and very few software bugs."
"The quality of service is one of the main reasons we use Cisco in our organization. It's quite high and very reliable. The switches also end up working for a long time, so there's less need to replace them as often as others. We have some switches in our company that has been running since 2006, for example. They are quite old, but they still work."
"The security of the switches is pretty impressive. There are many security features available on the product."
"The procedures and handling of these switches are easy."
"A good high-performance solution."
"H3C Ethernet Switches is a cheap solution."
"The best feature of H3C Ethernet Switches is their reliability."
"To date, it has proven to be highly reliable. We have encountered no issues or challenges with it thus far."
"We can configure the switch stack on the internet. Other vendors do not offer this facility. It is fast and easy to manage."
"H3C Ethernet Switches have a fast delivery time."
"The installation is difficult and requires further training documentations."
"It would be nice if they had higher wattage for PoE+."
"The local support resources for Cisco in Bangledesh are very poor and should be increased."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches is a very expensive solution."
"The interface and dashboard could look better."
"In terms of what could be improved, there is the bulk issue that is sometimes experienced with Cisco products we've used."
"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."
"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?"
"H3C Ethernet Switches could improve by widening their product range."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"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."
"There should be more public tools for configuration and comparing products."
"GUI needs to merge with CLI."
"Lacks decent cloud management."
