We performed a comparison between Cisco Ethernet Switches and Nokia Ethernet Service Switch 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 solution is compatible with many brands, such as VMware."
"A stable product that is absolutely dependable."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches are stable."
"We like the stability and scalability of Cisco Ethernet Switches."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the performance of the product."
"It's for industry products, so it's easy to use."
"The performance of Cisco Ethernet Switches is better."
"I know this solution for many years. I know the GUI and commands, and they are useful for me. I have all the functions that I want."
"The most valuable feature is the product's availability."
"On several occasions we encountered major issues with the solution and have found the Nokia technical support to be quite supportive."
"The highest value lies in aggregating the data to improve both traffic management and device utilization, emphasizing the importance of engagement and liability."
"The performance and reliability are the solution's most valuable features."
"The most valuable features are user functionality and interoperability."
"You have to be Cisco-certified to work on Cisco products, so we can't get into Cisco to do even basic configurations."
"It could be cheaper, especially the DNA license. One DNA license is around $3,000 for a three-year contract."
"The price could be lower. It's quite expensive."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches is a very expensive solution."
"The price could be improved by being reduced."
"The cost is very prohibitive both for us as well as other organizations. It's very expensive to buy Cisco switches. Among our colleagues, we find that we're not alone in thinking it's too high. Everyone's complaining about this."
"The quality of Cisco Ethernet Switches could be better."
"Cisco switches are good as they are, but it would be a major feature if they have built-in routers. Some of the Microchip switches have routers built in the same device. They have a router switch. For some of the sites, we deploy such switches because the client does not want a separate router and a separate switch. So, we go for a router switch with maybe 24 ports. Some of them are fiber, and some of them are ethernet. It would be a major improvement to what Cisco is already doing. Behind the scenes, a lot of scripting and stuff like this is happening. A lot of workload can be lifted if Cisco had a good GUI. If you look at Microchip switches, they have a good GUI in addition to the CLI."
"The segment routing could be improved, and they could also transfer a lot of legacy to the cloud domain."
"I would prefer that all the licenses be open for our use."
"I would suggest improvements regarding enhancing support response times and implementing user interface modifications for quicker and more user-friendly interactions."
"The solution needs more monitoring tools."
"I would like to see more collaboration with advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) vendors, such as Itron."
