"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"The network connection should be improved."
"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."
"I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
