"Quality of Service is easy to deploy. The ease of deployment, in general, is valuable. It is easy to do port configuration and VLAN assignments."
"Console of the dashboard is well integrated."
"It is easy to deploy, maintain, and update. It has been trouble-free so far. I am still a Cisco command-line bigot, but the web interface makes it a lot easier for our help desk to interact with a client. When the clients call in and say that they aren't able to connect, it takes the help desk 10 minutes or less to look at everything in the enterprise or location. They can look at the firewall, switches, or access points in the dashboard. That's why I like the dashboard."
"The configuration of 3Com H3C Switches could be better."
"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."
"I don't think that the cost is a problem, but sometimes the price requires convincing the customer of the value."
"In reference to an area of improvement sometimes the switch does not connect to the internet initially."
"They could lower the price."
"It is a compact switch, so there are a limited number of ports, and it needs improvement in terms of scalability."
"The pricing can be made cheaper."
"It can have better security. It needs more security enhancements, and in particular, a zero-trust element. If we could have external and internal users vetted in the same way as a zero-trust network, that will be handy."
"The firewall is not very powerful. The other week, one of the switches only gave one gigabit of output. It's become a concern for our customers."
"I would like to see improvements to the dark mode in the next release, as I prefer the dark mode."
