We performed a comparison between Cisco Nexus and Dell PowerSwitch N-Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two LAN Switching solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the access layer security, OpenConfig, and OpenFlow."
"This solution has saved us both time and money because we now have the ability to control all of these telephony devices that are deployed nationwide."
"This solution streamlines how we have to configure things because we can do everything from one device, whereas if we had individual devices we would have to go to each one and configure them manually."
"The consolidation of all of the layer two ports into one rack is very valuable."
"In terms of stability, this solution is rock solid."
"The scalability of the solution is well beyond anything I would ever need."
"The interface is as user-friendly as you can make it."
"The flexibility, how accurately the VPCs operate as well as the redundancy built into it with the VPCs are the most valuable features."
"For a customer, it is easy to configure and to add ports through the LAN the GUI."
"Port density and port speed performance are both suitable. It has some appealing intangibles."
"The solution is more expensive than other options on the market."
"If I call during a high volume, I might get someone that just doesn't know as much or it takes a little bit of time and they put us on hold more. Otherwise, it's good."
"Cisco Nexus needs to add the SDN capability and lower the price."
"The only thing to improve is to continue to get better."
"The operating system needs to be improved. There should be stability in the operating system, and it should not have as many vulnerabilities."
"They should make it easier to update the code on it."
"The product lacks options for integration with other market products that would allow us more flexibility."
"I would like to see Duo directly integrated with the Nexus hardware, instead of it being through the proxies, like how Duo works today."
"Customers do not prefer this to connect to multiple cities."
"Instead of competing at the enterprise level with that product, they should probably scale it. With all of the ports, they should develop a good mid-level business to truly scale it and gain adoption before attempting to go after the enterprise."
