"QoS is the most valuable feature because our clients work with VOIP and Critical applications."
"The feature sets are pretty cool. They've got almost everything that the competition offers."
"Its easy management is most valuable. It is easy to use, easy to manage, stable, and very reliable."
"Nexus provides inner redundancy. It allows us to perform updates on individual switches, while still maintaining reliability and uptime on the server."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to use, provides stability, easy to configure, low latency, and it provides communication to the data center."
"The most valuable features of this solution are scalability and reliability."
"The ability to tenant-out the traffic and segment it, without having to get into separate physical hardware or trying to figure out VDCs manually, has been really powerful and extremely useful for us."
"The most valuable features are the access layer security, OpenConfig, and OpenFlow."
"It speeds up the network data transfer time."
"This solution streamlines how we have to configure things because we can do everything from one device, whereas if we had individual devices we would have to go to each one and configure them manually."

"One of the issues that we have been faced with here in Brazil is that we don't have any list times for delivery."

"Stability is not really up to the mark."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required. Cisco Nexus should lower its current prices."
"The flexibility and configuration could be better."
"I would love to see Active/Active FEX connectivity, which is enhanced vPC, where we could also do a vPC from a server in that type of configuration."
"The licensing is very complicated. They should work to simplify it."
"If I call during a high volume, I might get someone that just doesn't know as much or it takes a little bit of time and they put us on hold more. Otherwise, it's good."
"As a device meant to lead the processes related to networking and troubleshooting, I feel both aspects can be described as areas with certain concerns where improvements are required."
