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."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"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."
"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."
"The stability of the program is excellent."
"The solution is stable."
"The product is great for networking."
"The installation is easy."
"For a home or small business, the solution offers a very good web interface."
"It's scalable. It is cloud-based controlled. We don't need to buy a dedicated controller. It allows me to control all of my access points everywhere in all my companies."
"The solution is reliable."
"I have found their security features the most valuable. These security features are supported on most of the other features. Similarly, the protocols and the standards are supported on other features, such as the stacking feature, the availability feature, internet channel, link application, and protocols. There are so many features on these features."
"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."
"The solution could be more secure."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"There are some performance issues."
"No graphical interface."
"Make them tougher and more ruggedized for warmer and Industrial types of environments, and HumiSeal the main boards and internal components."
"Their price is quite high compared to their competitors."
"They could work on the pricing and make it more affordable for everyone."
"Having the option for a web-based interface would be an improvement over being forced to use the CLI."
"We haven't had any issues with the solution."
"Linksys switches are expensive but scalable."
"The documentation should be improved from Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. Although it hints or refers to being able to do certain operations, they try to get you to load the software instead. They need to be more open with their documentation on using the web interface and give the client the option to use the software or not. This improvement is not on the switch itself, it is in the packaging."
"Another area of improvement is scalability."
