Blynk vs. Cisco Catalyst IE3400 Rugged Series Switches vs. Huawei Ethernet Switches

Amazing network management and extremely perfect network security production and its notification options are very responsive. Creating real time analytics and the visualization capability is fantastic. This Cisco Catalyst platform has effective insights gathering tools and its data quality control functions are good and quick on process reports preparation and workflow easy management product.

Huawei switches are ideal for cases where performance is not essential, for low traffic solutions and for equipment management. It is not recommended for situations of high performance and stress, immediate availability and high scalability. It is also not advisable to use them in solutions that involve hardware from other brands, the integration of Huawei with Cisco, for example, is very traumatic and the results were not optimal in my case.

• It runs no matter how hot it gets. It's actually operated at times when it was exceeding its operational limits and continued to work.

Incentivized

• Scalability
• High throughput links
• Redundancy of links with resilient protocols
• Fast switching in the event of a redundant link failure.

• The portdensity is poor (when compared to competition) which means that the IE-switches takes more space then competition.
• The price is not competitive, only possible to ship/sell to customers that are set on the Brand. To say that Cisco has more features (to motivate that these units cost more then the double) is not correct, the competition solves the same stuff differently.

Incentivized

• One of our switches encounted a hardware defect after 6 months of use (but was replaced within warranty)
• The switches appear to get hotter than what I would expect under normal use

The features are excellent. We have been able to utilize and customize the features

The switches perform very well in our core backbone and also in metro Ethernet networks. We are able to provide high service availability and greater resilience for our customers. The switches also provide high performance in several data centers where we have a presence focused on IX exchange. They are also very useful as CPEs.

The support team cares about fast workflow. They have been helpful

For certain cabinets where space is limited or industrial cabinets with harsh environments (dust, moisture, temperature), Cisco Catalyst IE3400 Rugged Series Switches are a good fit.

The performance of Huawei is lower than Cisco, but initially the costs inclined the decision towards Huawei, but unfortunately, it was not, the licenses and the manager fired the investment to make it very similar to cisco. Therefore it is preferable to go to the Cisco switches for reliability and robustness.

Incentivized

• Before implementing these switches, production lines were constantly stopped due to network failures. This had a huge financial impact on the company.
• In addition to mitigating those flaws, you now have complete network monitoring with the joint implementation of the Cisco Industrial Network Director.

• Revenue Increase
• Greater satisfaction for our customers.
• Greater compliance with SLAs
