Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."Easy to integrate with any of the other hardware platforms."
"The good thing about the StrataDNX is that the Broadcom family is very interchangeable, so they work well with different optical transceivers."
"With Meraki, there is the advantage that you have dashboard access via the internet and you can work on it from anywhere."
"I like the portal, it's really interesting."
"Setting up a switch can be performed prior to having your hands on the device. Once you purchase a Meraki switch you will get an email from Meraki with a code to add to your dashboard and then you can start setting up your switch so when it arrives it will download its configuration and be all setup."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to segment my infrastructure between phones, security systems, and other tasks."
"The technical support is very good. They offer some of the best support on the market."
"This product has QoS, decent visibility of what's going on, and it's a managed switch."
"Meraki MS Switches have a very user-friendly dashboard and the policies are straightforward for sending them to the devices and blocking sites."
"We have no problem with technical support from Cisco."
"The number of surfaces that can be handled by the chipset could be increased."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The quote-building process is challenging and it needs to be simplified."
"In terms of troubleshooting, if we get more tools there is an issue."
"We have dealt with a few minor bugs."
"This solution is too simple for some cases, and there should be more configuration options."
"It would be great if the switch can identify the IP address connected to the network port. It seems most of the switches cannot identify the IP address. They can identify the MAC address but not the IP address."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"The lead times can be long in terms of actually getting the hardware."
"The solution needs to improve its ability to back up the auto-configuration."
