"The solution’s technical support is good."
"The product is cheap."

"Dell PowerConnect Switches are very easy to configure with the GUI. Dell supports the solution even though it has been discontinued."
"PowerConnect Switches' stability is satisfactory."
"Our customers find the efficiency of TerraScale valuable."
"A big issue with this product is that when our customer migrated the data center, one cluster blocked the whole network and because we had a new approach, some commands were not compatible with the new version."
"I would like to see better scalability and more features on these switches in the future."
"Because of the stackings you lose some boards and switches."
"Scalability, especially with the power connect series is something that you have to take into account before starting the project because any changes to an ongoing project can be difficult."
"The network features are not good."
"The solution's ROI for generic networking is not extraordinary."
"What's lacking in Dell PowerConnect Switches is SD-WAN integration, and this is what needs to be improved in it. All enterprises now move towards SD-WAN infrastructure, and because Dell PowerConnect Switches don't currently support SD-WAN, the product would be replaced, considered a secondary switch, or linked up to a different switch. Integration or support for SD-WAN is what I'd like to see in the next version of Dell PowerConnect Switches."
"Their hardware is not reliable, it's faulty."
"Cost is a primary factor of TerraScale."
