## H3C Reviews
  ### 1. Reliable switches with reasonable pricing

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2020

**What do you like best about H3C?**

Good pricing and easy to configure and good support. Really good cli which allows network admins to configure variety of routing and switching protocols

**What do you dislike about H3C?**

Gui can definitely improve but I didn't use it much as it has a really good CLI interface. The H3C s5800 switch that we used as core switch had some reliability issues which needed a periodic hard reboot, but we never had issues with the access layer switches. Response from H3C support could definitely improve

**Recommendations to others considering H3C:**

If you're looking for alternative switching solutions with reasonable pricing with good support then H3C would be a good option. CLI is really good too and easy to use if you're familiar with Cisco commands.

**What problems is H3C solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Good pricing
Good alternative solutions for access layer switches
Support various routing and switching protocols to meet the requirements
