We performed a comparison between Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches and Huawei 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 deployment of the solution is quite fast."
"The most valuable feature is the dynamic routing."
"They are very reliable."
"For a home or small business, the solution offers a very good web interface."
"The installation is easy."
"This solution is stable it runs without any interruptions."
"Administration can be done using the web-based interface."
"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."
"One scenario where Huawei Ethernet Switches improved network efficiency was last year when a customer needed switches with 10 gigabits, which are not very common in the market. Huawei provided this kind of switch, enabling the customer to upgrade their network from 1 gigabit to 10 gigabit speeds across all devices."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is stable and the performance is good."
"Easy to use, flexible, stable, and offers great performance."
"When you buy a switch from Huawei, the switches come along with a lot of features that you do not need to pay extra money for."
"The functionality is basically the same as Cisco."
"The HTTP features for security are very good. We use all of the regular features."
"The solution is scalable."
"Another area of improvement is scalability."
"If possible, we'd like to see support in our country, but it will be difficult as we are located in Iran."
"The Cisco user interfaces can be difficult to use and maintain."
"The user interface needs a lot of improvement."
"It would be ideal if, for private users that are not companies, the solution could be made even cheaper."
"Their performance should be improved."
"The initial setup was complex."
"There is a four-month wait list for certified switches and licenses in Libya because they must be shipped from Dubai."
"The solution should make the text report more accessible."
"Dashboard could be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see an increase in the performance of DDoS protection systems against all kinds of attack packets."
"The performance has been slow at times."
"We would like to have a greater level of automation using this solution. The customer support could also be faster."
"The technical support is technically savvy, but the communication via English is not so easy."
"It is not easy to use if you need to monitor, patch or update. It needs to be configured by a network specialist because it doesn't have an overall central monitoring tool or anything like that. I'd say no ease of use."
"I would like the tool to improve its operational efficiency, speed, security features, and functionalities."
