"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."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"The technical support is good."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"I have found their security features the most valuable. These security features are supported on most of the other features. Similarly, the protocols and the standards are supported on other features, such as the stacking feature, the availability feature, internet channel, link application, and protocols. There are so many features on these features."
"The most valuable feature is that we can configure the security to suit our needs."
"The product offers a very professional experience."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"The most valuable feature is basic networking functionality."
"The installation is straightforward. We did not face any problems."
"Ease-of-use and ease-of-management are good qualities of this product."
"For a home or small business, the solution offers a very good web interface."

"Cisco offers a wide range of features, and in the enterprise and mid-segment market in Europe, we make use of most of them. Some features are essential for our operations, while others may go unused. The feature set provided by Cisco is comprehensive, and there's little more we could ask for. It would be a nice addition if, in the future, Cisco switches could incorporate artificial intelligence to provide proactive feedback and guidance instead of having to search for solutions ourselves. This development is likely to come with time, and we'll patiently await such enhanced functionality."
"Make them tougher and more ruggedized for warmer and Industrial types of environments, and HumiSeal the main boards and internal components."
"They just need to simplify the learning curve."
"It should be cheaper. We need a better price from Cisco. Its initial setup and support should also be improved."
