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."The features that I have found most valuable with Cisco switches are that once you get your configuration you can rest assured that it will work. The OS is not going to be failing intermittently or anything like that. Once you get your configuration end-goal right, the firmware and the OS are usually very stable enough to work a long time without support. Support is needed once in a while. My experience is that the Cisco switches are usually rocket."
"It is easy to configure and troubleshoot."
"Good and stable operational experience with nearly no loss of hardware and very few software bugs."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches are stable."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches is stable and robust."
"We only use the basic features and we find that it works well."
"The tool is stable."
"The tool is easy to use, offering numerous options in terms of server connection."
"We can configure the switch stack on the internet. Other vendors do not offer this facility. It is fast and easy to manage."
"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 have a fast delivery time."
"H3C Ethernet Switches is a cheap solution."
"A good high-performance solution."
"They can make the licensing model a little easier."
"There are instances where the commands you are familiar with might change or be replaced with newer syntax."
"Technical support could be better. Firmware upgrades should be better. We have an issue with upgrading the firmware. It's not upgradable. I think it should be easy to improve and upgrade the firmware."
"Better manageability and ease of use would be an improvement."
"In terms of what could be improved, there is the bulk issue that is sometimes experienced with Cisco products we've used."
"Technical support in India needs to be improved."
"You do have to buy into the Cisco architecture to be able to use them."
"Because of the cyber attacks, they should focus more on VoIP."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"H3C Ethernet Switches could improve by widening their product range."
"GUI needs to merge with CLI."
"Lacks decent cloud management."
"There should be more public tools for configuration and comparing products."
"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."
