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."We only deal with Cisco products, they are very good."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The technical support is good and they respond quickly. I haven't had any problems."
"What I like the most is the performance and the latency that Cisco provides."
"Technical support is excellent. They are very helpful."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ability to manage the switches and the ability to have a certain level of familiarity with setting up and configuring the switches."
"The greatest advantage of Cisco switches is their reliability. For example, we bought some 500 series switches back in 2002 or 2003, and they ran 24/7. I never had an issue for seven years."
"We use Cisco Ethernet Switches to configure VLANs in the VPN network."
"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."
"To date, it has proven to be highly reliable. We have encountered no issues or challenges with it thus far."
"The best feature of H3C Ethernet Switches is their reliability."
"H3C Ethernet Switches is a cheap solution."
"A good high-performance solution."
"The ease of use of Cisco Ethernet Switches could improve. It is different to use them if you do not have prior knowledge."
"Cisco has a licensing procedure that is very complicated and it changes every six months."
"The interface and dashboard could look better."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches is a very expensive solution."
"They need to offer free replacements until the end of life for devices."
"An area for improvement in Cisco Ethernet Switches is its command-line interface. It works differently than expected if you want to do some implementation. However, it works if it's a simple integration."
"I don't like that you have to have a license of 10 years to use the switch. I don't understand that policy."
"Cisco could also open the API up to work closely with other systems."
"There should be more public tools for configuration and comparing products."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Lacks decent cloud management."
"H3C Ethernet Switches could improve by widening their product range."
"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."
"GUI needs to merge with CLI."
