This has made it easier for us as solution providers to tailor options for our customers with fewer but more suitable choices."
"The performance is good."
"The support is not the quickest."

"Security features do exist, and they're mostly common with other switches.

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."
"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."
