We performed a comparison between 3Com H3C Switches and Cisco Linksys 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."
"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."
"They are easy to use, they are cheaper, and it's a trusted brand."
"They're straightforward and stable."
"The reliability of the solution has been the best feature."
"I have found their security features the most valuable. These security features are supported on most of the other features. Similarly, the protocols and the standards are supported on other features, such as the stacking feature, the availability feature, internet channel, link application, and protocols. There are so many features on these features."
"It's scalable. It is cloud-based controlled. We don't need to buy a dedicated controller. It allows me to control all of my access points everywhere in all my companies."
"Cisco's product is excellent and highly stable with decades of experience in switching and technology. It's a top-notch solution when your entire network operates within the Cisco ecosystem, allowing for a wide range of capabilities. However, the challenge with Cisco lies in its prioritization. When integrating with third-party solutions, like Juniper, it can be somewhat challenging, but it still performs reasonably well. Setting up Cisco switches is not a straightforward process; it's complex and requires more than simply powering them on and figuring things out as you go. You need a solid understanding of switch and stack configuration because Cisco has its unique software features. Cisco excels in vendor lock-in, meaning that if you want to combine Cisco switches with non-Cisco functionality, it can be both time-consuming and costly. While Cisco offers the most extensive capabilities, it can also be less flexible and more challenging when you want to deviate from the Cisco ecosystem."
"The most valuable features are virtualization and micro-segmentation."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches are pretty good overall."
"They are good for connecting users. These switches are very stable. We have been using them for three years, and we haven't had any problems."
"Linksys switches help us manage connected equipment because we can see the historical data on all devices connected to this switch."
"Manageable features, which we heavily used like web GUI and SNMP."
"The cost and the integration with other solutions could be better."
"When we try to do configuration changes sometimes it malfunctions."
"The technical support services need improvement in terms of communication."
"The configuration of 3Com H3C Switches could be better."
"I think there's nothing that needs to be improved because the company is no longer in existence."
"Technical documents and other configuration-related information should be more freely available online."
"They need to develop better UI. Other products have a nice GUI."
"In the future, I would like to see more focus on software-defined networking solutions."
"Scalability is an area that can be improved."
"The documentation should be improved from Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. Although it hints or refers to being able to do certain operations, they try to get you to load the software instead. They need to be more open with their documentation on using the web interface and give the client the option to use the software or not. This improvement is not on the switch itself, it is in the packaging."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches’s stability and pricing needs improvement."
"The user interface needs a lot of improvement."
"It's an old tool that needs to be more competitive with other solutions that are available on the market such as HP, or Dell."
