We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The performance is good.""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.""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 most valuable feature of QFabric for network performance is its stability.""The solution is stable.""QFabric supports redundancy and includes all of the enterprise and service provider features that customers would want in data center or service provider network.""The 40 gig backbone InterConneX was valuable for our use case. It is even faster now. QFabric has spine-leaf technology or topology, which basically makes every single hop only one hop away in terms of connecting from one device to another. It is a pretty good and robust solution. It works pretty well in terms of scalability, and their technical support is amazing.""The solution is easy to use and has good performance.""The vendor maintains the product well.""It is known for being agile, flexible, and cost-effective when working with various vendors.""Juniper QFabric has various advantages including scalability, simplicity, performance, and flexibility."

Cons
"While the support is good, it could be better, and the price could be reduced.""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."

"Improvements could be made to QFabric's life cycle management, particularly in maintaining stable versions and extending product support.""It works too much on rebooting and there is some memory leakage.""Having support for all OpenFlow versions would be beneficial.""The disruptive upgrade was an issue for us.""I do not use GUI's very much for switch stacks. I am always in the CLI. However, I do know that Juniper in the past has lacked on their GUI's, but they have been working on it.""It would be nice if Juniper provided the system integrator with training, similar to that of Cisco.""The pricing structure could be more budget-friendly.""The stability needs to be improved."
