How do HP switches compare to Cisco switches?

In university our focus was on Cisco switches, so that's what most of my knowledge is about. Can anyone provide a good general comparison or link me to a good resource about it please? Thanks!

Both are good vendors. Currently I am working on HP Networks A Series which is nothing but Comware OS. Compare to to Cisco it is brilliant. In my experience I prefer HP because of IRF feature which is an added value.

 

Also in troubleshooting HP is easier and pretty straight forward.
