They allow for more custimization. We use the 3100s because they are cheaper, but the 3300's are nice because they allow for more and different port density.
Chose Cisco Catalyst IE3300 Rugged Series Switches
I've used the IE4000s. Those were our signature IE switches and they were end of sale so we switched over to the IE3300s and we actually like those better because of the scalability.

Overall, a few vendors like Siemens, Moxa, Versitron. We were only after a simple solution, so Moxa could have seemed a good option but overall being a Cisco house is a no brainer for the organisation and teams. Comparisons weren't really in the decision. But these Cisco …

Cisco
Well suited in areas where traditional IT personal need to have some management in a IoT development while keeping security at the for front of the deployment plan. Also offers great flexibility with the ability to purchase additional modules to expand switch port count without purchasing an entire separate switch which is extremely beneficial when space is a constraint and the ability to plan for future growth is impossible. Also the ability to just move SD card to back up switch and plug it in is great when IT staff is remote to keep warm spares onsite.

Pros
Cisco
  • We're extremely proud of the IE3300s. We actually put them up on the cranes as well and with all the movement of the cranes, they're very sturdy and durable. We have not had issues at all with them.

Cons
Cisco
  • Whilst these switches for once weren't actually the most expensive, they are still not the cheapest.
  • The IE-3XXX series in particular has great flexibility in that it offers custom options for bespoke needs.
  • I would say Cisco focus on their software rather than hardware from experience and design, but it is by no means bad!
