"The performance is good.""Extreme Networks is the only one that has this kind of universal switch. It simplifies things greatly. Customers no longer have to worry about the price differences between traditional and fabric technology switches, which used to have their own pricing. This has made it easier for us as solution providers to tailor options for our customers with fewer but more suitable choices.""Enterasys Campus LAN Switches is a trustable and powerful solution. The solution has good web management features. You can do whatever you want, like a CLI. The solution is easy to diagnose and manage. I like the Linux-based operating system. If any service crashes, you need to restart the system."

Cons
"Its scalability needs improvement.""In the next version, they should add a firewall from a single source.""The price has room for improvement.""Room for improvement would be if they consolidated administration from multiple locations.""It could have an MSP portal version.""You cannot use many VLANs, like VLAN 10, VLAN 20, VLAN 30, and VLAN 100 on Aruba Instant On AP.""The pricing is competitive but could be improved.""Some customers have made complaints about Aruba Instant On Switches' stability."

More Aruba Instant On Switches Cons →

"Security features do exist, and they're mostly common with other switches. What makes these switches unique is the ability to see application layers on the switch, but not directly through the switch. There are tools from Extreme Networks that allow visibility of such traffic, which other switches lack. Extreme CloudIQ analytics can analyze all the traffic on Extreme Switches up to layer seven, offering full visibility. However, this tool is necessary for such detailed analytics and might not be compatible with some third-party products.""While the support is good, it could be better, and the price could be reduced.""The tool's price is high. We need a cost-effective service. It also needs to add wireless controller features like Huawei."
