| Sr. Cloud Systems Engineer at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees | 3.0 | Our company uses Cisco MDS Series primarily for fiber channel connectivity due to their valuable SAN switches. However, the management interface and GUI need improvement. We did not consider alternative solutions, and our deployment does not involve a cloud provider. |
| Technology director at Infodive Representações e Serviços ltda | 5.0 | I appreciate the Cisco MDS Series for its reliability, support, and scalability, which have delivered a positive ROI for me. While I've considered Brocade as an alternative, I've found the gradual addition of gigahertz in Cisco MDS satisfactory. |

| system engineer at Yaşar Holding | 5.0 | We use the Cisco MDS Series in SAN environments for server connections because it is stable, doesn't relapse during updates, and is easy to use. However, the product is very expensive, which is a significant drawback in its adoption. |
