    Osama Ahmed LUBBAD - PeerSpot reviewer
    A stable, scalable, and problem-free solution
    Software needs to be updated regularly in order to maintain security and performance. However, in some cases, it is necessary to stack switches in order to meet the needs of the network. Although Cisco switches are able to stack, other switches are not as simple to stack. I would like the ability to stack with different switch brands.

    Rock-solid connectivity and WiFi coverage
    It's a hardwired solution so our customers do not have to use a mesh network — I really dislike that. It causes too much delay, etc. As with any product, there is always room for improvement. A good router is not cheap. A good switch is not cheap. Let's say somebody develops a new frequency — 7GHz. Well, in that case, you'd need a special router. I have some customers who request Cat7 for their homes. That's way too much. So I'd say, "What are you going to run over here? Let's just run fiber optics. Then the customer will respond, "Well, I read somewhere and other people have told me that if you're going to wire your house, go with Cat7." I'd say, "Sir, you're not going to even utilize Cat5e." I use Cat5e, and believe it or not, I can pump at 10 gigabits per second with Cat5e. The same was true with ePoE — now we have ePoE+. Some switches with ePoE cannot supply as much juice as the modern ePoE+, which requires much more power. The basic switch doesn't have the capacity to deal with that. The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic. It pretty much just covers some basic IP information, defense, and how to change the administrator password — that's pretty much it. I am a dealer, I shouldn't have to contact support for basic answers.

    Quotes from Members

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

    Pros

    "The most valuable feature of Extreme VDX is that we have had no problems and the solution's performance is excellent."
    "The fabric of the solution and the management aspect are the solution's most valuable features."
    "Its simplicity and web interface were most valuable. I also liked the two-factor authentication."
    "Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
    "The ePoE+ is great."
    "The solution is less expensive than other options."
     

    Cons

    "I would like the ability to stack with different switch brands."
    "Its scalability can be better. If possible, it can have Hyper POE. I am not sure if there is a fiber version."
    "The only problem is that at the moment it's an Extreme product and Extreme is not really pushing it. They have to make up for weak innovation and I'm not sure if they want to do that."
    "Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
    "You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
    "The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
     

    Pricing and Cost Advice

    "It was around $1500 a year. It is cheaper than Cisco but more expensive than Ruckus."
    "The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
