It makes it easy to manage everything.""We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements.""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.""It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest.""The product is stable. It does have only one power supply. They don't have a redundant power supply."

Cons
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products.""There needs to be better integration with the interface.""The network connection should be improved.""OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region.""technical support response time is sometimes very slow.""In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed.""I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface.""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."

More Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches Cons →

"The pricing could always be improved.""I have issues with the support's communication language. The tool's UI can be better.""The technical support is a bit difficult to work with if you don't speak Mandarin.""Huawei Switch can make further advancements, as the current CLI lacks functionality. The majority of tasks are performed through the CLI, making it difficult for those without technical expertise to work with. They should enhance the CLI of the access switches to make them more user-friendly. The GUI of the Ethernet Switches should also be improved to allow non-technical users to perform technical tasks with ease. Additionally, the documentation of the solution could improve.""The company needs to provide more on hand training on the product.""We had a few issues with integration.""The product's stability has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required.""Connectivity is an area that needs improvement in the solution. Interconnectivity with third-party versions or Cisco Meraki should be made available to users in future releases of the solution."
