Dell PowerConnect Switches Reviews

The security is the most valuable aspect of this solution. It also has good storage and resource handling. 

We don't have bugs or glitches. It's stable. 

We have a team in our own company to maintain this solution.

We don't have any experience with other switches. We're thinking that in six months we'll look at more switches. 

I would rate it a seven out of ten.

Not a ten because I have to do a lot of testing on it. The correlation is okay. 

We use this solution for our local infrastructure and environment.

This solution comes with a lifetime warranty.

We have had some problems with the firmware. More stable firmware releases would be an improvement because we have had them randomly power on and off. These switches should be better tested before a firmware update is released.

Technical support for this solution should be improved.

I have encountered two or three bugs that affected the stability of this solution.

These switches are scalable but I do not know to what extent.

We have eighty users who are mostly developers and our business centers.

The technical support for this solution is ok, but I have seen better. They are not the best.

At times they have responded quickly, but not always.

I do not like this solution. It runs ok but we have had problems.

This is a solution that I would recommend only for those without complex setup or networking.

I would rate this solution a five out of ten.

We use the Dell EMC Networking N1500 series switches. We use them primarily for access to the Local Area Network.

We have used these switches for data access the LAN. We have also used the switches for power over ethernet devices in the LAN. Also, we have attached cameras for IT surveillance. 

We have found that in our market the price is very good for our customers. 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.

I would like to see better scalability and more features on these switches in the future.

We have been using Dell PowerConnect Switches for a year and a half.

These switches are stable and customers have been very happy. All the clients we have completed the switches for are happy and they don't have any issues with them.

Scalability can be a problem with these switches.

I have not been involved in the setup of these switches. I'm in sales so I am just learning of the features.

The Dell EMC Networking N1500 Switches are a great solution. They are great switches for access switch on LAN which they have combined for data, high-performance access-point, IT surveillance, and cameras. I would rate these switches a ten on a scale of ten out of ten.

We are a product reseller and the Dell PowerConnect Switches are one of the solutions that we implement for our clients. They are used for connecting servers, hosts, PCs, and other devices.

The most valuable feature is stability.

The configuration should be improved. For example, the configuration on a Cisco switch is more logical than it is with Dell.

I have been working with these switch for between four and five years.

This is a stable product and I have not experienced any bugs.

I have contacted Dell technical support in the past, although it was in regards to a server and client, rather than for a problem with a switch. In most cases, Dell gives support-related problems to a subsidiary. The problem is that not all of the subsidiaries are professional.

 Overall, I was satisfied with them.

I have also worked with Cisco switches. I took the CCNA course and recognize the difference between Cisco and Dell switches.

The initial setup was not complex.

The price of these switches is okay.

This is a product that I can recommend for end-users.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I've always used them as iSCSI only switches; they don't run anything else other than pure iSCSI traffic.

Once up and running they have always been rock solid, but I only use them as pure, clean iSCSI switches. I've mainly been using 1GbE, but lately, also 10GbE.

An easy command to turn everything off: clean, only setting jumbo frame. When we ran EqualLogic SANs, the old PowerConnect was self-configuring the ports that were connected to the EQ box.

I have no idea, as they have always worked rock solid for me. Some firmware have a hard Telnet/SSH/web timeout that is really short. That's sometimes annoying.

For me, excellent, never had any issue.

Brocade Fibre Channel.

Easy, turn everything off, configure the jumbo frame, configure the OOB interface and you are done.

Not really, as we moved from Fibre Channel to iSCSI with an EqualLogic PS4100, and we got the switches, servers and SAN box in one package.
