The solution could be more secure. However, we use quite old versions.

There are other solutions that are free and that enable you to check the access of the ports and the IU stats also. In this solution there isn't one for the switch that allows for checking the stats, the health of the ports and all the data that exist in the switch. It's just like CLI commands. This solution doesn't have a graphical interface and that's an issue. 

As mentioned, a graphical interface should be included in any new release - it would increase options.

Technically the product is always improving the software part, but the hardware needs to be more reliable. I faced some issues with Power Supply only.

It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches.

You need skills and knowledge to configure brocade switches. Equipment used by customers must be compatible with the brocade model used. View full review »
