"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"The reliability of Brocade is the most valuable feature. The solution has been up and running for over ten years without any fail, fixes required, or breakdowns. It is a very strong piece of equipment."
"The technical support is good."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"It has good integration with HPE Primera. They have smart zoning in which the administration is very easy. You don't have to do anything. Zoning and other things are done automatically if you just enable the smart zoning. That's one very good thing in HP."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the auto-complete functionality and the end-to-end functionalities such as routing with the channel."
"The main features of this solution are performance and ease of use."
"The solution effectively provides a stable connection for users."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches are more stable than other products."
"The performance of Cisco Ethernet Switches is better."
"In terms of most valuable feature, I would say the user interface."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the performance of the product."
"Technical support has always been helpful."
"The tool's most valuable features are flexibility and configuration. It can be used in large setups."
"I've never had any issues with the solution."
"We use the product for VPN."
"I think they have very strong routers because they have multiple processors. I like its easy configuration with applications. For example, configuration with Linux, Iptables, and routing protocols."
"The deployment process of MikroTik routers and switches is very convenient since it is not command-driven and comes with a graphical user interface, making it much easier to operate."
"It has a lot of features. I haven't explored them all yet."
"They are stable."
"MikroTik routers are very user-friendly and easy to manage"
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"No graphical interface."
"The solution could be more secure."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"There are some performance issues."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"From a system integrator's perspective, Cisco must train system integrators, partners, and customers about their services."
"The NX-API REST is not very good and should be improved."
"Better manageability and ease of use would be an improvement."
"They can make the licensing model a little easier."
"Because of the cyber attacks, they should focus more on VoIP."
"We have experienced some issues with Cisco SG350 switches. We have not been able to use this switch at normal temperatures as it automatically reboots."
"The product could improve in the area of simulated switches."
"One area for improvement could be integrating a single dashboard for both wired and wireless networks."
"There needs to be better support for this solution in India. We have no local support."
"The solution needs to be more robust. In case of power fluctuations, MikroTik routers are more vulnerable to malfunctioning."
"I would like to have some additional filtering options added in the future."
"The CPU load is too high. This causes the Internet to lag."
"I would like to see some content filtering with MikroTik Routers and Switches."
"The product's setup process could be easier."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches needs to improve stability."
"It could be more scalable. Product awareness could also be better. There's a lack of awareness when it comes to MikroTik. People only know about Cisco and others, and they won't rely on MikroTik. This is primarily because of hardware limitations. While this product is good economically, it's unsuitable for high-end projects. In the next release, I want this product to be more compatible."
