Dell PowerConnect Switches [EOL] Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Chief Technology Officer / Chief Information Security Officer at Lorton Data, Inc.5.0I use Dell PowerConnect Switches as network switches in my company. These switches are reliable, with valuable VLAN features and easy programming. While they offer good value, there's a desire for a more competitive price, though no ROI has been noted.
Senior Technical Consultant at International Turnkey Systems - ITS4.0We use Dell PowerConnect Switches in the data center for their stability and user-friendliness. The VTL feature enhances redundancy by clustering switches. However, better integration with third-party vendors is needed to effectively target the entire network environment.
Senior Presales Solutions Engineer ( DELL EMC & VMware) at NTT DATA4.5The Dell PowerConnect Switches offer valuable network and fiber switch functionality with seamless integration with Dell and Cisco products. However, the infrastructure and connectivity need improvement. Implementing these switches reduced operational costs by about 20%.
jSenior system engineer at H&R Buisness IT Solutions4.0I primarily use Dell PowerConnect Switches in data centers and enterprises. The solution integrates well with other vendors, but building the stackable interface manually is an area needing improvement. I also work with Cisco and HP switches, which offer similar features.
General Director at miromix unitedMiroMIX United4.5I find the Dell PowerConnect Switches to be a stable and reliable solution, especially for governmental and broadcasting use. They offer good warranties and competitive pricing, but I wish Dell provided a wider range of core products and better Cisco compatibility.
03.5I used Dell PowerConnect Switches primarily at the distribution layer, benefiting from their user-friendly interface and CLI for advanced users. Although familiar Cisco commands are missing, these switches support industry standards, offering a competitive edge in diverse environments like banks and hospitals.
Office Systems Analyst at Suffolk County Government3.5I rely on Dell PowerConnect Switches for user connectivity, finding them cost-effective and offering good technical support. While the switches are slightly cumbersome to configure and use dated IOS software, they provide a solid return on investment compared to Cisco.
L1 System Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees4.5I found Dell PowerConnect Switches cost-effective and reliable, but their network features need improvement. While not as popular as Cisco, which is favored for superior network capabilities, these switches offer a budget-friendly option for those prioritizing cost-efficiency.
