We performed a comparison between Cisco Nexus and Enterasys Campus LAN Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two LAN Switching solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"Cisco Nexus has improved the way our organization functions through the troubleshooting. We had issues where we've seen our links saturated. We were able to determine what was being processed on the link."
"Cisco Nexus and Cisco Catalyst have processing power and offer good utilization of Cisco devices."
"This is a powerful device and I can get good bandwidth."
"The setup is straightforward. I'd like to see the firmware and code upgradability to be slightly more intuitive."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is stability. We have a pretty large campus."
"The most valuable features of this solution are scalability and reliability."
"The interface is as user-friendly as you can make it."
"The most valuable features are the solution is robust, you are able to use it for fabric architecture as well as SPAN on exit with the controller."
"Enterasys Campus LAN Switches is a trustable and powerful solution. The solution has good web management features. You can do whatever you want, like a CLI. The solution is easy to diagnose and manage. I like the Linux-based operating system. If any service crashes, you need to restart the system."
"The performance is good."
"Extreme Networks is the only one that has this kind of universal switch. It simplifies things greatly. Customers no longer have to worry about the price differences between traditional and fabric technology switches, which used to have their own pricing. This has made it easier for us as solution providers to tailor options for our customers with fewer but more suitable choices."
"The solution has room for improvement in terms of the learning curve."
"There are limitations on some of the lower level 9K solutions where you can't do the same things that you would normally be able to do, like for instance the number of static maps that you can configure on it."
"The licensing is the area that we are working that's a challenge."
"The product could be updated more frequently for other phone model support."
"The technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
"It would be great if they could make the interface a little more user-friendly, but not trade power off for simplicity."
"Cisco Nexus still needs more stability."
"The initial setup of the Cisco Nexus platform takes a long time. It's a complex system because we have a lot of security layers."
"Security features do exist, and they're mostly common with other switches. What makes these switches unique is the ability to see application layers on the switch, but not directly through the switch. There are tools from Extreme Networks that allow visibility of such traffic, which other switches lack. Extreme CloudIQ analytics can analyze all the traffic on Extreme Switches up to layer seven, offering full visibility. However, this tool is necessary for such detailed analytics and might not be compatible with some third-party products."
"The tool's price is high. We need a cost-effective service. It also needs to add wireless controller features like Huawei."
"While the support is good, it could be better, and the price could be reduced."
