User Testimonials
	3Com Baseline Switches (Discontinued)	Extreme Networks Wired Access - Switches
Likelihood to Recommend	H3C Technologies As our company is growing we need to be able to upgrade our equipment. It is great for smaller companies. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Extreme Networks If you have a big environment with a lot of edge switch needs and department groups, then Extreme's fabric connect can save a lot of management time. If your environment is small then you may want to stick with the traditional model since fabric connect costs more. Also if you make lots of configuration changes all the time then fabric connect will be helpful. Otherwise, making an occasional change you don't need fabric connect.

Cons	H3C Technologies Our network is slow. Feels like things are not working properly at times. Old equipment. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Extreme Networks Improved Extreme Management Console UI. More robust CLI auditing/logging. Easier log harvesting for adverse events.

Support Rating	H3C Technologies No answers on this topic	Extreme Networks There hasn't been a single problem with the code or hardware that hasn't been resolved in a timely fashion. You get technicians who know the product and who will work with you to get things fixed. That being said, I never ran into a problem with Cisco tech support either. I love that both groups were willing to teach me as they fixed things. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	H3C Technologies I used Cisco and Cisco is a great product but more on the expensive side. This is a great product for smaller companies. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Extreme Networks Foundry, HP, Cisco, Brocade. Extreme performance is equivalent or better without the price tag added just for their name Incentivized DT Darren Tingey Technology Director Read full review
Return on Investment	H3C Technologies Great price. Great product for small company. It was great before we expanded. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Extreme Networks Extreme [Ethernet Switches] have a long-life. You can easily get 7 years in main production life depending on when you buy in the product life-cycle. Extreme [Ethernet Switches] are expensive, no doubt, but we also don't have "weird" network problems or other issues with the network randomly going down. If you use fabric connect switches then the ease of managing many switches is of no concern. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
