"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"It has good integration with HPE Primera. They have smart zoning in which the administration is very easy. You don't have to do anything. Zoning and other things are done automatically if you just enable the smart zoning. That's one very good thing in HP."
"The technical support is good."
"The reliability of Brocade is the most valuable feature. The solution has been up and running for over ten years without any fail, fixes required, or breakdowns. It is a very strong piece of equipment."
"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"As I am Cisco certified, I like the way that I can program them."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches is a very stable product."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the performance of the product."
"We only deal with Cisco products, they are very good."
"The greatest advantage of Cisco switches is their reliability. For example, we bought some 500 series switches back in 2002 or 2003, and they ran 24/7. I never had an issue for seven years."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches are more stable than other products."
"We have a good technical support provider in Turkey that offers support, and we work closely with Cisco. Everything is sorted."
"The technical support is good and they respond quickly. I haven't had any problems."
"I like that it's quite flexible and addresses different issues. It's quite easy to use, and the pricing is great. We find them to be very capable switches."
"It is easy to set up."
"The interface management and the user access management is pretty good."
"The most valuable feature is that it has better throughput than its competitors."
"This solution is very similar to the on-premises version making it easy to use for those who know the architect."
"A valuable aspect is its user-friendly configuration, making it accessible even for individuals with basic technical knowledge."
"The performance has been good."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"There are some performance issues."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"The solution could be more secure."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"No graphical interface."
"The pricing should be reduced so that they are more competitive."
"It would be nice if they had higher wattage for PoE+."
"There are instances where the commands you are familiar with might change or be replaced with newer syntax."
"They can make the licensing model a little easier."
"An improvement would be to change their market intention. Almost all the Cisco switches are now coming with a license called DNA. D for Delta, N for number and A for apple. That feature is required, he must purchase it and it is a mandatory thing that has been introduced. This is not matching with the Asian market."
"Integration with third-party products could be improved."
"The price could be lower. It's quite expensive."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches is a very expensive solution."
"The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS."
"If MikroTik had a marketing team and support team in India then it would be much easier for us to get the product, as well as support."
"The initial setup is complex."
"It would be even better with a centralized management platform."
"In medium to large sectors, there's a necessity for managing aspects like proxy firewalls."
"The packet filtering, user log data, and user access log could all be improved."
"It happens that you may find your network is down, if you reboot the switch, they come up. However, sometimes, they reset themselves. That's a big issue."
"The bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better."
