Cisco Catalyst 9400 vs Aruba CX 8400

While both switches offer strong performance, the Cisco Catalyst 9400 edges out the Aruba CX 8400 with its high-density port options and robust security features, making it the better choice for large enterprise campuses. However, the Aruba CX 8400's simplified management and cost-effectiveness make it a viable option for smaller organizations. Ultimately, the Cisco Catalyst 9400 is IT Intel's top pick for its superior features and maturity.
