Pros
"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.""The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything.""It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest.""This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night.""Enables direct access to clusters.""The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional.""OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."

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

"In the future, incorporating AI features into Ethernet switches, particularly in the controller base, would be beneficial.""The solution can improve by adding virtualized switch functionality.""The configuration is very difficult even for someone who is already familiar with the configuration process.""The graphical user interface could be much better.""The stability could be improved.""The technical support is technically savvy, but the communication via English is not so easy.""It is not easy to use if you need to monitor, patch or update.

I'd say no ease of use.""The configuration could be improved and deployment should be easier."
