Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Enterasys Campus LAN Switches is a trustable and powerful solution. The solution has good web management features. You can do whatever you want, like a CLI. The solution is easy to diagnose and manage. I like the Linux-based operating system. If any service crashes, you need to restart the system.""The performance is good.""Extreme Networks is the only one that has this kind of universal switch. It simplifies things greatly. Customers no longer have to worry about the price differences between traditional and fabric technology switches, which used to have their own pricing. This has made it easier for us as solution providers to tailor options for our customers with fewer but more suitable choices."

"HPE ProCurve is used to connect servers and storage in the data center.""It has a lifetime warranty, that includes lifetime updates.""HPE ProCurve is very complex for junior engineers and beginners. You need a lot of experience in managing switches in order to use this switch.""It's easy to manage and configure. The configurations can be exported and imported to another solution.""The pricing is quite competitive.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""This is a very reliable solution.""The solution is fast and inexpensive."

Cons
"The tool's price is high. We need a cost-effective service. It also needs to add wireless controller features like Huawei.""While the support is good, it could be better, and the price could be reduced.""Security features do exist, and they're mostly common with other switches. What makes these switches unique is the ability to see application layers on the switch, but not directly through the switch. There are tools from Extreme Networks that allow visibility of such traffic, which other switches lack. Extreme CloudIQ analytics can analyze all the traffic on Extreme Switches up to layer seven, offering full visibility. However, this tool is necessary for such detailed analytics and might not be compatible with some third-party products."

"If you make a change and you disconnect yourself from the switch, you will create an issue.""An area for improvement in HPE ProCurve is the web interface not being as robust because you still have to go to the COI to make modifications or look at the exact configuration.""I don't have any recommendations for areas of improvement.""If we're aiming for an improvement, focus on enhancing security features in HPE ProCurve, particularly in terms of filtering.""The dashboards could be improved to be more interesting.""These switches can be made more stable and robust.""It might be best if it offers better scalability.""The solution should offer different gigabit interfaces. Right now, they have ten gigabits. However, for our needs, we only need one gigabit. We don't need 24 or 48 ports. We only need eight to ten. HPE should introduce into their portfolio some smaller and more compact options."
