Similarities: 1. They each have a lot of technical direction, such as routing and switching, security, etc. 2. technology are basically more comprehensive, the vast majority of public technical knowledge and a small portion of the private technology 3. are the IT industry network direction of the top certifications Differences: Cisco's CCIE certification has been in China for almost 20 years, Huawei's HCIE can only be regarded as in the promotional stage, here is not to say that who is good and who is not good, but just an objective description of the actual situation. Not good, just an objective description of the actual situation, but the overall domestic environment test HCIE can learn more about some of the characteristics of Huawei's equipment as well as the configuration is still very advantageous, plus still in the promotion phase, so the study and examination of the preferential strength is relatively large, the overall cost than CCIE to some low. There is a difference in the way the exam, ccie current exam for the written + lab, HCIE more than one interview, the interview difficulty is still relatively large, because of human factors are more, the basic skills of the technology requirements are relatively high, so the current HCIE candidates are mostly lecturers of the major training institutions, but it is true that a lot of ordinary students have passed the HCIE exam. In terms of development prospects, CCIE because the number of exams through too many people (currently close to 5W people worldwide), the level of the overall is uneven, so there is the so-called paper, pulling down the overall salary level, but in the industry to work a 3-5 years, annual income of more than 20W is not heavenly. HCIE because of the start, so the prospects can not be determined, but you can be sure that the domestic market HCIE will not be more than the CCIE. HCIE will not be worse than CCIE in the market.
