Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."The good thing about the StrataDNX is that the Broadcom family is very interchangeable, so they work well with different optical transceivers."
"Easy to integrate with any of the other hardware platforms."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the ease of stacking. The configuration on the MS Switches is very good, as well as its ability to assign the LANs."
"Overall, the switches are really good."
"The solution has been very stable so far."
"I like that I can patch and manage them remotely from the user portal."
"I like the portal, it's really interesting."
"The most valuable features of Meraki MS Switches are the GUI mode which is helpful for access and good dashboards."
"The solution is very stable."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The number of surfaces that can be handled by the chipset could be increased."
"It could be easier to use and easier to implement."
"The troubleshooting could be better."
"Management from a single dashboard is what I want to see from Meraki MS Switches."
"They need to work on prioritizing different types of data on the network, whether it's voice, data, video, et cetera. Video needs to be prioritized in a much better way, for example."
"It would be great if the switch can identify the IP address connected to the network port. It seems most of the switches cannot identify the IP address. They can identify the MAC address but not the IP address."
"The stability of the solution isn't ideal. We've had a lot of problems with the switches. They are unstable and unreliable. We need to reboot them often."
"The licensing model needs to be improved."
"Communication of compliance risk is awkward at best and threatening at worst. It needs to be addressed."
