We performed a comparison between Brocade Ethernet Switches and Cisco Linksys 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."The technical support is good."
"It has good integration with HPE Primera. They have smart zoning in which the administration is very easy. You don't have to do anything. Zoning and other things are done automatically if you just enable the smart zoning. That's one very good thing in HP."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"The reliability of Brocade is the most valuable feature. The solution has been up and running for over ten years without any fail, fixes required, or breakdowns. It is a very strong piece of equipment."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"Cisco Linksys is scalable. You can use it as an extender, too."
"This solution is stable it runs without any interruptions."
"Their speed and their ability to handle the network well are the most significant aspects of the product."
"Cisco products are always stable."
"The most valuable features are uptime and stability."
"The solution is very flexible."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is stable."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is a stable solution."
"There are some performance issues."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"No graphical interface."
"The solution could be more secure."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"Cisco Linksys could be more secure. It could also add a controller to control all the devices, like the access points and so on."
"It would be nice if they can provide support for local authentication protocol, which is a security feature. It is not supported right now. They already support security features, so adding some local authentication features would be very nice. Currently, they only support external databases for the stuff for the authentication feature. If they could improve the existing feature or add a feature to support local databases, local username, password authentication, I think it would be very amazing."
"The Cisco user interfaces can be difficult to use and maintain."
"It should be cheaper. We need a better price from Cisco. Its initial setup and support should also be improved."
"The installation could be simplified."
"Linksys switches are expensive but scalable."
"Another area of improvement is scalability."
"They just need to simplify the learning curve."
