"Cisco Nexus is very safe and stable. I've been here 8 months. We have some devices that have been out for 11 years."
"For a customer, it is easy to configure and to add ports through the LAN the GUI."
"Port density and port speed performance are both suitable. It has some appealing intangibles."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required. Cisco Nexus should lower its current prices."
"I would like to see a lighter platform."
"The flexibility and configuration could be better."

"The initial setup was somewhat complex."
"Cisco Nexus needs to add the SDN capability and lower the price."
