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 installation is quite straightforward."
"They're straightforward and stable."
"They are easy to use, they are cheaper, and it's a trusted brand."
"The reliability of the solution has been the best feature."
"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."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches is stable and robust."
"We can expect Cisco Ethernet Switches to last for years without issue."
"It is easy to configure and troubleshoot."
"Tech support has always been good."
"We don't need any support from Cisco since there are a lot of materials and training about Cisco available online. I feel Cisco's support is good."
"The technical support is good and they respond quickly. I haven't had any problems."
"The most valuable feature is that we create a network as a villain."
"These switches are both stable and scalable."
"When we try to do configuration changes sometimes it malfunctions."
"The cost and the integration with other solutions could be better."
"The technical support services need improvement in terms of communication."
"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."
"In terms of features, they tick all the boxes as of now. That could be because we tailor the solution around the product. I have not seen anything that pulls me back or is not working well for me. However, there could be better integration with the network monitoring systems. It doesn't mean it is currently not there, but there could be better discoverability with some of the network monitoring systems to be able to have more visibility. When you're setting up a control room, you can have more visibility into what is going on in the network. It has been doing that, but it can do that more."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches could improve if they removed the command line interface and replaced it with a better GUI. It is too difficult at the moment, we always need to figure out the commands."
"The management of the solution could improve."
"We are less in the Cloud because the Cloud technologies didn't work so well. That happened in all of the companies where I've been engaged."
"There's are other products that are better for network programmability. Cisco isn't as programmable as some preferred vendors. For example, on iOS 6 products, you have to commit the change directly on the running configuration. If you have a generic product you can do this, so it can improve in programmability."
"The initial setup for on-prem versions is complex and requires a trained, certified engineer."
"Cisco has a licensing procedure that is very complicated and it changes every six months."
"The solution's reliability should be improved."
