The command line structure is very similar to Cisco so a very minimal learning curve if you're used to the Cisco command line, plus you can do basic management with a web interface. They port mirror multiple ports to one port which is nice. They've been rock solid for us, we've been using them for 2 years non-stop and not one failure...and these are units we bought off of ebay used. Go the ebay route, much cheaper then buying new. Ironically, one of the switches we placed 2 years ago was because a Cisco switch died. Personally, I'm not a fan of Cisco, I think most of their stuff is overpriced.
