"Cisco is refining the features all the time and you can see this in all the different vendors."
"Cisco Nexus is very safe and stable. I've been here 8 months. We have some devices that have been out for 11 years."
"The most valuable features of this solution are scalability and throughput."
"They are very high-performance switches and they are made for lossless data, so they're a good play in the customer environment."
"When it comes to data centers, Cisco Nexus is the best."
"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 are the solution is robust, you are able to use it for fabric architecture as well as SPAN on exit with the controller."
"Port density and port speed performance are both suitable. It has some appealing intangibles."
"For a customer, it is easy to configure and to add ports through the LAN the GUI."
"One improvement needed is support for Multi-CAD scale that we were concerned about. We're not hitting any limits at this point."
"It would be ideal if there was better integration with various other platforms."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see a focus on backplane deployment, so you can stack more."

"I would like to see a lighter platform."
"The operating system needs to be improved. There should be stability in the operating system, and it should not have as many vulnerabilities."
"The price could be better."
"I would like to see some development into the SAE world where you can virtualize. That would be the only thing I would like to see because I need to start virtualizing my infrastructure gear at some of the other data centers that I have."
"Customers do not prefer this to connect to multiple cities."
"Instead of competing at the enterprise level with that product, they should probably scale it. With all of the ports, they should develop a good mid-level business to truly scale it and gain adoption before attempting to go after the enterprise."
