Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Arista, Dell Technologies and others in Data Center Networking."There is high reliability since we have used them for close to twenty years and only had possibly one failure."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is a stable and reliable product covered with good warranties and prices that ensure deep discounts for partners."
"The security is the most valuable aspect of this solution. It also has good storage and resource handling."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to multitask."
"The technology is good and the interface is simple. We haven't had any bugs, disconnections or delays."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is simplicity."
"When the price is competitive the customers tend to choose the cheaper brand and then look at the features. So having a competitive price is a plus."
"PowerConnect Switches' stability is satisfactory."
"Our customers find the efficiency of TerraScale valuable."
"Not a ten because I have to do a lot of testing on it. The correlation is okay."
"The CLI for Dell PowerConnect Switches is sometimes confusing, especially with the LAN, but for the GUI it is simple."
"The solution could provide more integration to focus on targeting the network as a whole rather than a unified environment. It is meant for a built environment, so integration with other third-party vendors will likely be necessary."
"More stable firmware releases would be an improvement because we have had them randomly power on and off."
"Dell is sometimes slow to provide updates to firmware."
"What's lacking in Dell PowerConnect Switches is SD-WAN integration, and this is what needs to be improved in it. All enterprises now move towards SD-WAN infrastructure, and because Dell PowerConnect Switches don't currently support SD-WAN, the product would be replaced, considered a secondary switch, or linked up to a different switch. Integration or support for SD-WAN is what I'd like to see in the next version of Dell PowerConnect Switches."
"Because of the stackings you lose some boards and switches."
"An area for improvement would be that it's very hard to configure if you're not familiar with the UI or CLI of the product. The UI itself could also be improved."
"Cost is a primary factor of TerraScale."
