More H3C Ethernet Switches Cons →

"Their web GUI interface needs to be a lot better, especially when compared to HP. The command line is good, but you have to know how to get around it. The GUI is clunky and very slow.""We would like it if there was more security added in future releases.""I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using.""The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added.""It was very difficult to get technical support, here in Egypt. There is no local support available.""Juniper Ethernet Switches would be improved by upgrading the uplink port in EX2300 categories service from 10G to 25G.""We are not very pleased with their performance.""The management platforms for the network need improvement."
