"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"The technical support is good."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"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 switches last for a very long time."
"There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"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 initial setup was for Cisco Ethernet Switches was straightforward."
"Cisco's support is number one in the world."
"The tool is stable."
"I have found the solution to have good scalability. Cisco is the pioneers on switching technology, they are very good."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Ethernet Switches is its hardware."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches are rugged, secure, and scalable. It provides smart devices and reliable switches."
"The performance of Cisco Ethernet Switches is better."
"The solution is highly reliable."
"These routers and switches are very stable."
"The solution is stable."
"It is a stable solution. I have been using the solution for a while, and I don't face any outages or trouble while using the solution."
"I've never had any issues with the solution."
"The stability is good."
"What I like best about MikroTik Routers and Switches is its easy handling. The product also has a significantly good interface."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the combination of value for money. They're extremely cost effective, yet they provide you with an extensive feature set of things you can do across the board. Also, they're pretty reliable, as far as equipment goes."
"The product is very reliable."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"There are some performance issues."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"The solution could be more secure."
"No graphical interface."
"Cisco products are expensive compared to any other solution. Now, there are many competitors that give the same level of services - such as Juniper or Aruba."
"I would like for the solution to have more more security features and be more user-friendly."
"The solution really should offer better pricing. It would help them stay competitive."
"Cisco has a licensing procedure that is very complicated and it changes every six months."
"If we can have fewer bugs on our switches, that would be great. We had bugs that caused the switch to reboot. There is probably a problem with the software."
"Technical support in India needs to be improved."
"This may be something that they are already working on, but it would be an improvement if they could add a layer of security to layer two and layer three to protect the server and to protect the data."
"In terms of features, they tick all the boxes as of now. That could be because we tailor the solution around the product. I have not seen anything that pulls me back or is not working well for me. However, there could be better integration with the network monitoring systems. It doesn't mean it is currently not there, but there could be better discoverability with some of the network monitoring systems to be able to have more visibility. When you're setting up a control room, you can have more visibility into what is going on in the network. It has been doing that, but it can do that more."
"The ports could be improved, as certain areas may need to be terminated with a greater number of Ethernet ports. We initially faced challenges that hindered our network usage, especially with third-party applications that were not certified or supported. It took some time to streamline and resolve these issues."
"The product needs to include more power."
"This product could offer better integration with VPNs."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The batch management could be improved."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches need a firewall policy to secure the network. I also want Mikrotic to add load balancing to the firewall policy, as it's currently hard to do in Mikrotik devices."
"They need to create a license for IBS. I have a lot of clients that have spam on their networks."
"The interface for management could be improved."
