Considered Both Products	Cisco Verified User Chose Cisco Ethernet Switches Cisco is more enterprise level, more reliable, and generally more feature rich but also very expensive. That being said old or refurbished Cisco switches are much more affordable and in comparison to even new switches from the competitor they are still a great value even … Incentivized Helpful? Dean Aceto II Senior Infrastructure Administrator in Information Technology at Merz North America (Medical Devices, 501-1000 employees) Chose Cisco Ethernet Switches Cisco Ethernet Switches are top tier in the networking space. It makes it hard at times to compare them to other brands. When I have, however, used other brands I have found them to a mixed bag. I have used HP switches in the past and I feel like the interface is less polished … Incentivized Helpful?

Patrick Plaisance CTO (Chief Technical Officer) in Information Technology at Pachyderm Consulting (Information Technology and Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Cisco Ethernet Switches We used to implement a lot of NETGEAR ProSafe Managed Switches before the Cisco SG Switches.

Michael Timms Network Administrator II in Information Technology at iQor (Telecommunications, 10,001+ employees) Chose Cisco Ethernet Switches The only choices that was D-link and Netgear Ethernet swithes, and there is no comparison between them and Cisco. The only other enterprise switches that I have experience with are HP Procurve, and again there is simply no comparison. Cisco blows them out of the water on … Incentivized Helpful? Brian Taylor Systems Engineer in Information Technology at Synectics for Management Decisions, Inc (Information Technology and Services, 51-200 employees) Chose Cisco Ethernet Switches Leagues ahead of the competition. May not have some of the ON features that competitors have, but scripting and automating make up the difference. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Cisco Ethernet Switches Reliability just not good enough - Did not work well with Cisco equipment - still do not know which vendor was at fault! Incentivized Helpful? Paolo Della Mea Network Build Leader in Information Technology at GE (Chemicals, 10,001+ employees) Chose Cisco Ethernet Switches Router, voice systems ... obviously the integration is perfect.
