"The reliability of Brocade is the most valuable feature. The solution has been up and running for over ten years without any fail, fixes required, or breakdowns. It is a very strong piece of equipment."
"It has good integration with HPE Primera. They have smart zoning in which the administration is very easy. You don't have to do anything. Zoning and other things are done automatically if you just enable the smart zoning. That's one very good thing in HP."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"The product is great for networking."
"The most valuable feature is stability."

This improvement is not on the switch itself, it is in the packaging."
"In the future, I would like to see more focus on software-defined networking solutions."
"The installation could be simplified."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
