Is it better to take the Cisco certification exam or Huawei certification now?

We can analyze it together from the following two angles.

(1) Comparison of influence and development prospect:

Cisco is an American manufacturer. At school, it can be called the king of routing switching equipment. At that time, it did monopolize many levels of products such as routers and switches. However, in recent years, with the catch-up of Huawei, its current monopoly position has certainly been impacted, but after all, it is a manufacturer with a reputation of more than 30 years, classic or classic, and no one can deny the authority of product technology and standards.

As we all know, Huawei is the pride of national brands. Although his influence in the world is not as good as Cisco's, he has the momentum to catch up with Cisco. Huawei is now very recognized by ordinary people, indicating that it has strength and technology, and it is just around the corner to extend from the domestic market to the global market.

(2) Comparison of test difficulty:

Cisco exam is divided into three grades, CCNA, CCNP and CCIE, and the difficulty increases in turn. The content involved is also from simple theoretical basis to routing protocol, to routing strategy, VLAN division, to detailed troubleshooting operations and some VPN and VOIP configurations. There are some other things to note: for example, Cisco has many proprietary technologies, but other manufacturers do not support it, such as IGRP and EIGRP. Although it covers a lot of content, there is still a period of time before cisco certified goes online, and there are many real questions circulating on the Internet, so the pass rate of CCNA and CCNP exams is still very high, generally reaching 75%.

After all, Huawei certification was only introduced in recent years, and the system is still in the process of gradual improvement and perfection. It is also tested at three levels: HCNA, HCNP and HCIE. However, it is precisely because Huawei certification has not been launched for a long time, there are few simulation questions, and the configuration description of Huawei routing switching equipment has just been updated, and the overall command statement has changed greatly, so the pass rate of the exam is relatively low, basically around 50%.

The choice of Cisco and Huawei is still based on your decision on the future development direction. Have you considered going abroad? Cisco is the best choice to go abroad. If it is only in China, of course, Huawei has a more market. And whether the equipment used by the employment company you choose is Cisco or Huawei.
