We performed a comparison between 3Com H3C Switches and Cisco 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 hardware side is a very big advantage. We use it 24/7 and we haven't had any problems so far with the switches."
"The reliability of the solution has been the best feature."
"They're straightforward and stable."
"The installation is quite straightforward."
"They are easy to use, they are cheaper, and it's a trusted brand."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Ethernet Switches for our network are speed, latency, and reliability."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Ethernet Switches is their capacity."
"In terms of most valuable feature, I would say the user interface."
"Remote access is a valuable feature."
"We only use the basic features and we find that it works well."
"DNA Center is very interesting in automating the setup and monitoring as with each occurrence it gets easier to troubleshoot and provides an impression about what could be the problem."
"The tool is easy to use, offering numerous options in terms of server connection."
"The solution is compatible with many brands, such as VMware."
"The technical support services need improvement in terms of communication."
"The cost and the integration with other solutions could be better."
"When we try to do configuration changes sometimes it malfunctions."
"I think there's nothing that needs to be improved because the company is no longer in existence."
"The configuration of 3Com H3C Switches could be better."
"Its management should be improved."
"We'd like the pricing to be lowered."
"In terms of features, all features are there. I can't find anything new that needs to be added. Its price, however, is a bit higher than other brands and can be improved."
"The initial setup can be simplified."
"The initial setup for on-prem versions is complex and requires a trained, certified engineer."
"The current state of Cisco Ethernet Switches leaves room for improvement, particularly in regard to central management and security. While they possess the capability to function as owners of Layer Two, they fall short in regard to security awareness. While there are some supplementary products available that can provide additional security measures, such as the deployment of virtual machines, these solutions are external and not integrated within the switch itself. For this reason, Cisco Ethernet switches could benefit from incorporating the same centralized management and security features as other companies, such as Fortinet, offer in their FortiSwitches. By being aware of potential threats such as MAC spoofing and ARP poisoning, the switch can provide a more comprehensive level of security."
"The NX-API REST is not very good and should be improved."
"The enterprise-level switches should have a simpler deployment. They should make it possible for lower-skilled workers to be able to deploy the product."
