ExtremeSwitching Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Sr. Area Technical Manager at tata elxsi4.0We've used ExtremeSwitching for over 15 years, finding it robust, user-friendly, and well-supported. It reliably meets our networking needs with minimal issues, solid performance, and cost-effective support, making it a great fit for our environment.
Engineer at NewLogics4.0We primarily use ExtremeSwitching for various business applications, finding the Extreme Fabric particularly valuable for simplifying administration. While software stability needs improvement due to occasional crashes, the high return on investment within three years is impressive.
Assistnat Professor in Computer Science and Engineering Department at a educational organization with 201-500 employees4.0I've found ExtremeSwitching to be stable, reliable, and well-supported, though slightly costly. It performs smoothly post-installation, but I’d like to see more AI-driven automation and plug-and-play features to ease configuration and troubleshooting.
Managing Director at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees5.0We use ExtremeSwitching for costing, access networking, and routing across various industries. It's valuable for its intuitive configuration and outstanding performance. Improvements could include easier access to unique command lines. The return on investment is notable with zero maintenance costs.
Co-Owner at Xtreme Works, Inc.Xtreme Works, Inc.4.5I found ExtremeSwitching to be affordable and reliable, with standout features like ring topology and an excellent network management system. It could improve by offering simpler switches and integrating operating systems for easier user selection. Customers report cost savings.
Technician Analyst at a energy/utilities company with 5,001-10,000 employees4.0ExtremeSwitching is ideal for enterprise core and Wi-Fi coverage, with valuable features like Fabric Attach and BGP, and a competitive price. While reliability might be a concern compared to pricier competitors, we mainly consider Netgear and Cisco as alternatives.
Network division director at Toptal telecommunication company5.0We use ExtremeSwitching for Compass projects with fabric and Wi-Fi due to its unique virus protection technology. However, the lack of entry-level products is a limitation, especially since competitors like Aruba and Cisco offer more affordable options for smaller deployments.
Senior Cybersecurity Engineer at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees4.0My company uses Cisco routers and ExtremeSwitching switches, which are highly reliable. However, ExtremeSwitching has a smaller industry presence, making it difficult to find online resources for deployment compared to the larger communities for Cisco and Juniper.
