Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Dell Technologies and others in LAN Switching."Cisco Nexus is very safe and stable. I've been here 8 months. We have some devices that have been out for 11 years."
"It provides a very flexible connection to a server. When you go into history and the VPC, it provides a very flexible connection from it. Once a server goes down I can instruct it easily. So the network actually keeps quality even if onsite it is down."
"The biggest benefit to this solution is a high port density with high bandwidth."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"You can scale the product."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"This solution has allowed us to better prepare our network for 10-gigabit."
"The most valuable features of this solution are scalability and throughput."
"For a customer, it is easy to configure and to add ports through the LAN the GUI."
"Port density and port speed performance are both suitable. It has some appealing intangibles."
"The only thing to improve is to continue to get better."
"There is no feature parity between the 9K and the 5K or 7K, which means that it is harder to position the 9K to future proof them."
"I would like to see more granularity."
"I would like to see better monitoring actions supported in the next release of this solution."
"Technical support could be better."
"They need to offer fibre switches in the 9K series."
"The licensing is the area that we are working that's a challenge."
"I don't really deal with the pricing but I know that it's not cheap."
"Instead of competing at the enterprise level with that product, they should probably scale it. With all of the ports, they should develop a good mid-level business to truly scale it and gain adoption before attempting to go after the enterprise."
"Customers do not prefer this to connect to multiple cities."
