Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."Its simplicity and web interface were most valuable. I also liked the two-factor authentication."
"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."
"This is the most scalable product of its type."
"Their technical support is very good. They help us figure out solutions when we have problems."
"During our experience, the solution has been stable."
"VMware NSX's overlay network is its most valuable feature, as it aligns with any network philosophy and allows for efficient addressing mechanisms. Additionally, the ability to extend the on-premise network into the provider space is beneficial. There are many features provided."
"I have found VMware NSX to be easy to use."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the ability to set up virtual networking environments."
"The best part is the blueprint creation where I can create their things and then move on to the target environment."
"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."
"VMware NSX can improve the migration tools from the older environments to the new environment. For example, the NSX-V has become a legacy solution, it's out of support, but customers are able to keep using it. For migration purposes, it's better for them to provide a proper tool. It will be easy to migrate from an old environment to a new one."
"I want to see the solution expand to more than just the network, for example, perhaps it could provide some VLAN technologies."
"The training costs a minimum of $3,000, which is expensive and should be reduced."
"It might be nice to have more AI in the future."
"I think that one of the more important things to see better integrated into the NSX product would be an IDS/IPS type solution."
"There is room for improvement in VMware NSX's workload management, particularly in the orchestration layer and in managing workloads across multiple clouds."
"A room for improvement in VMware NSX is that it has some security vulnerabilities, which means my company has to apply the patches every once in a while."
"VMware NSX only supports some platforms like KVM."
