"The most valuable feature is its reliability."
"We have found that logical tenant segregation to be the most useful feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the power."
"This product has improved the way our organization functions through the ability to do things in a maintenance window while allowing other teams to continue to work."
"We have continuity with Cisco, which provides a very high-end solution."
"The most valuable features of this solution are scalability and throughput."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Port density and port speed performance are both suitable. It has some appealing intangibles."
"For a customer, it is easy to configure and to add ports through the LAN the GUI."
"I would like to see Duo directly integrated with the Nexus hardware, instead of it being through the proxies, like how Duo works today."
"The price could be better."
"I don't really deal with the pricing but I know that it's not cheap."
"Multi contexts would be nice to have to separate different tenants logically and securely."
"For a very small subset, Cisco Nexus caused port flapping within the applications."
"The product lacks options for integration with other market products that would allow us more flexibility."
"It would be ideal if there was better integration with various other platforms."
"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."
"Customers do not prefer this to connect to multiple cities."
"Instead of competing at the enterprise level with that product, they should probably scale it. With all of the ports, they should develop a good mid-level business to truly scale it and gain adoption before attempting to go after the enterprise."
