Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Dell Technologies and others in LAN Switching."The most valuable feature of this solution is its stability."
"Cisco Nexus has good overall reliability and configuration options. It is fairly straightforward to access the switching platforms."
"The most valuable features are the access layer security, OpenConfig, and OpenFlow."
"The most valuable feature is the HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol)."
"You can scale the product."
"This solution has saved us both time and money because we now have the ability to control all of these telephony devices that are deployed nationwide."
"The product has a stable and strong server panel switch."
"It's pretty easy to use and operates at high speed."
"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."
"They could improve on having different technologies between product models."
"With some of the products we had before, we had a little more downtime than we would like."
"The operating system needs to be improved. There should be stability in the operating system, and it should not have as many vulnerabilities."
"The initial setup was pretty complex, mostly because of our environment, having to do multi-context. That's where you have a lot of different logical routes that are in one physical device, and it can get kind of complex trying to think about how to set all that up. You really have to whiteboard it out a lot."
"I would like to see better collaboration with other, low-end devices."
"Data center access is stable and high speed but it is not compatible with Cisco's server hardware devices. The solution can be technically improved and can have features like automation, better visibility, better functionality, and cheap pricing."
"It would be ideal if there was better integration with various other platforms."
"There is always room for improvement."
"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."
