Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Dell Technologies and others in LAN Switching."The most valuable features are the jumbo frames and the stacking."
"When the price is competitive the customers tend to choose the cheaper brand and then look at the features. So having a competitive price is a plus."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is a stable and reliable product covered with good warranties and prices that ensure deep discounts for partners."
"There is high reliability since we have used them for close to twenty years and only had possibly one failure."
"This solution comes with a lifetime warranty."
"Dell offers very good support."
"PowerConnect Switches' stability is satisfactory."
"The features I've found most valuable are that the product is very easy to configure and inexpensive."
"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."
"I expect it to be a zero-touch or a plug-and-play device. To some extent, it is, but we need to know the architecture, and we need to know what exactly we are doing. It is not so easy to implement. It depends on what exactly we are doing and it is still not a plug-and-play or zero-touch device. In the upcoming version, they can make it zero-touch, where we can just power it on and start using it. They can have some templates for different scenarios, such as when you are using it for the data center or adding it to your existing infrastructure."
"Because of the stackings you lose some boards and switches."
"I can't think of what we would want in the next release."
"The solution could provide more integration to focus on targeting the network as a whole rather than a unified environment. It is meant for a built environment, so integration with other third-party vendors will likely be necessary."
"The IOS software that is used on the switches could be improved."
"The configuration should be improved."
"The solution's ROI for generic networking is not extraordinary."
"The network features are not good."
"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."
