Good support, feature-rich, and works well from a technical perspective
We are a system integrator and we are currently working on a project with a client who is using this solution. It is used for private cloud or data center virtualization We make use of all of the features that are available. It would be helpful to have better information on how to implement this…

It is flexible and scalable, giving us room to grow.
They'll be restricted by their legal requirements in terms of what they can actually do in order to source, but I would strongly recommend they talk to a variety of partners to find a decent partner that they trust and will get good customer service from. Get advice, and kind of go from there. Which I think is one of the reasons why the HPE partner program is so important because it gets that message across and gets the quality of the product across.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The management aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature; software-defined issues have been good for us, and it makes the management process easy."
"Cisco has a good technical support team."
"Overall, from a technical perspective, this product is good, but it could be improved with respect to pricing."
"Network Virtualization allows us to test virtually instead of placing load generators somewhere else in the world."
"This solution allows us to offer a solution for the application, including all the things they need."
"In terms of consistency of delivery, this solution gives us room to grow as well."
"It goes through about 1.3 billion libraries on any scenario, any bandwidth, and any network condition you could think of."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is not easy."
"The stability of the solution isn't ideal. It could be vastly improved."
"It would be helpful to have better information on how to implement this product."
"One of the really good options of the SDN on DCN is the micro-segmentation. I would like to see it act more like a real firewall."
"We haven’t had experience with scale yet."
"The reporting could be a little bit better."
"They need to go beyond what they are doing right now and look at streaming capabilities because a lot of news organizations, a lot of media and entertainment companies, need a lot of streaming support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cisco products are not cheap."
