Cisco Nexus Reviews

We are using the Cisco Nexus as our core switch for our main backbone.

I have been using Cisco Nexus for approximately two years.

The solution is stable.

Nowadays, every five years technology changes. However, you will find customers who are using the same Cisco switch which has a life span of five years or seven years, will still be using them for more than 10 years without raising a single ticket. This is the confidence they have in Cisco. This is my personal customer experience, it makes it difficult for us to generate business. We can do a technology refresh or a product replacement But when there is Cisco, it is tough for any person to replace that solution. Cisco has that X factor in their solutions, and specifically with networking. Nexus is definitely their bread and butter. It is an exceptional solution.

Cisco Nexus is scalable.

We have approximately two customers.

The Technical support of Cisco is really good. It is a core switch, you require three to four hours, same business day support. They give you a good resolution within that time. They are good at troubleshooting.

The installation is straightforward. If you have someone who is certified to do the implementation of Cisco Nexus they can do it quickly. 

All other switches, such as distributed switches and access switches connect to the Cisco Nexus switch. If you have done everything correctly including the sizing, there should not be an issue at the time of installation.

we have one manager and one engineer for the deployment and maintenance of the solution.

The subscription model and price could be better.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Cisco Nexus an eight out of ten.

The product is easy to use. 

There is room for improvement in the pricing. The solution is expensive. Compared to other vendors, it's costly for similar products.

I have been using this solution for five to six years. 

The product is stable. It's a good product. 

We get technical support through a third-party vendor. So, we normally call the vendor, and then we need to escalate the issue.

The initial setup is easy. For the current setup, we're just dealing with updates already.

Overall, we are satisfied with this solution. We don't have any complaints. 

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.
