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 scalability of the solution is well beyond anything I would ever need."
"The most valuable feature is performance."
"We have found that logical tenant segregation to be the most useful feature."
"The solution is very expensive. Currently, we pay an yearly licensing cost. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten."
"It is a scalable, reliable, stable and efficient solution."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The most valuable features of this solution are scalability and throughput."
"We have a much more stable network now using the Cisco Nexus."
"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."
"Its simplicity and web interface were most valuable. I also liked the two-factor authentication."
"The initial setup was somewhat complex."
"My only complaint is that not all of the ports on it are enabled from the start."
"Currently, the switches don't behave like the 4500 switches in terms of acting as one physical chassis. So the multi-chassis PortChannel feature is not applicable in this case. Nevertheless, virtual port-channel feature covers this."
"The product lacks options for integration with other market products that would allow us more flexibility."
"As a device meant to lead the processes related to networking and troubleshooting, I feel both aspects can be described as areas with certain concerns where improvements are required."
"The implementation process could be easier, which is something that should be improved."
"The only thing to improve is to continue to get better."
"One of our switches died last week and we were able to RMA it. Within four hours it arrived on time and worked."
"I would like the ability to stack with different switch brands."
"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."
"Its scalability can be better. If possible, it can have Hyper POE. I am not sure if there is a fiber version."
