Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."The fabric of the solution and the management aspect are the solution's most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of Extreme VDX is that we have had no problems and the solution's performance is excellent."
"Its simplicity and web interface were most valuable. I also liked the two-factor authentication."
"The solution is very stable and reliable."
"I am impressed with the tool's protection."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"VMware NSX is a very good solution. It's also a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of VMware NSX are the tight integration with the VMware Hypervisor natively and the management console. We have a lot of other integrations where you are able to see the virtual machine's end-to-end visibility."
"During our experience, the solution has been stable."
"NSX can reduce costs and has good service. It is easy for you and your users to use."
"The solution is very good at micro-segmentation."
"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."
"The solution can improve by making it more straightforward, easier to install and maintain in the environment."
"NSX could better integrate with open-source products. Of course, it integrates with some, but I know many people are uncomfortable deploying NSX with certain open-source solutions, such as Radar."
"It lacks full knowledge of physical side of the network topology."
"There could be an improvement in regards to security."
"If there are other solutions already in place, it can be difficult to implement."
"Nowadays, NSX supports the KVM and ESXi hypervisors only. It should also support Hyper-V and Citrix hypervisors."
"Our technical team is always looking for the solutions that they work with to offer more convenient integrations."
"One drawback is this solution requires a lot of other products in the VMware ecosystem to have a full end-to-end operation orchestration monitoring. You have to buy a lot of add-ons to fully utilize the functionality."
