We performed a comparison between Cisco Nexus and Extreme VDX [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Dell Technologies and others in LAN Switching."The most valuable feature is performance."
"We have found that logical tenant segregation to be the most useful feature."
"The solution is stable."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"A very solid and reliable solution."
"This is a powerful device and I can get good bandwidth."
"Tech support is good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the power."
"Its simplicity and web interface were most valuable. I also liked the two-factor authentication."
"The most valuable feature of Extreme VDX is that we have had no problems and the solution's performance is excellent."
"The fabric of the solution and the management aspect are the solution's most valuable features."
"The cost of the support can be improved. We had critical operations, and we needed 24/7 support for 365 days, which was quite expensive. We had to go for a very costly support contract, which was really a concern. The availability of spare parts, especially in a remote location such as Egypt, can also be improved."
"The initial setup is always complex."
"The implementation process could be easier, which is something that should be improved."
"It would be ideal if there was better integration with various other platforms."
"In the Nexus 3500, you can't do per-port Jumbo frames, so you have to enable it as a global configuration."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see a focus on backplane deployment, so you can stack more."
"It would be nice if the solution offered multiple types of port support."
"One of the biggest challenges, which I see is that there's a constant evolution in the product. For example, our configuration is based on what is known as traditional data center implementation. Today there is the ACI deployment and to implement, to migrate from one technology to another, that's challenging both from a configuration perspective and also from a cost perspective."
"Its scalability can be better. If possible, it can have Hyper POE. I am not sure if there is a fiber version."
"The only problem is that at the moment it's an Extreme product and Extreme is not really pushing it. They have to make up for weak innovation and I'm not sure if they want to do that."
"I would like the ability to stack with different switch brands."
