Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything.""The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional.""Enables direct access to clusters.""This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night.""The product is stable. It does have only one power supply. They don't have a redundant power supply.""It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest.""The fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper.""We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."

Cons
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region.""The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products.""I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches.""I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface.""In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed.""technical support response time is sometimes very slow.""There needs to be better integration with the interface.""The network connection should be improved."

"I would like an option to create different networks within the switch.""I'd like to see a central management system included as part of their license, not as a separate purchase. Currently, we have to manage switches independently. A central portal for managing all switches and providing visibility would be great.""Its security features need improvement.""The solution's web filtering feature could be improved.""They could be more stable. They were not as resistant as Cisco. After some time, some of them failed. This could be because we import quite a lot of products from different horizons, so there is no guarantee of quality. In Africa, these products don't always directly come from the manufacturer. We get these products from the Middle East or Asia. Therefore, you cannot be sure that the quality is exactly similar to what you have in Europe or America.""The solution needs to improve layer 2 switches.""The availability could be improved.""They need to enhance stability."
