Dell PowerConnect Switches [EOL] Reviews

I use the solution in my company as our network switches. My company also deals with a small company.

The solution's most valuable feature stands up well. The tool is reliable, and it stands up well. The solution works fine and lasts a long time.

I think if you speak about the features that have a flow and you can measure, it is hard to say. I don't spend a lot of my time with the tool, but I know that Dell APEX is the solution's cloud. I would say the VLAN features are important. The VLAN features are really useful because network segmentation is important. I would say the tool is easy to program.

I don't know if the tool has any security features that I am aware of other than the fact that the solution is for networking. The VLAN and the ability to segment your networks are easy, which is its security feature.

We use the solution in the data center. It's a robust solution that is stable and user-friendly. The comma blind is easy and provides the scalability required for data centers. We use it to integrate with other hypervisors. It is so user-friendly that it can easily incorporate  VxRail and support customers.

Dell works with large customers who want virtualization using the VxRail setup. I recommend having the power switch integrated with the VxRail setup, as it's already integrated with it. One advantage is its seamless integration, easy configuration, and ability to create a unified solution for switches and troubleshooting.

We are a reseller for Dell. We wanted to evaluate the product to see if it suits some of the customer requirements. If it does, we will craft it in the form of a solution, and we will sell it to customers. So, we are still evaluating it. 

It is currently in our testing environment. We wanted to use spine-leaf architecture, and that's the reason we are using this product. We are doing a proof of concept for the spine-leaf architecture, and we are using Dell switches for that.

We are not using OS10; we are using SONiC.

Their support has been excellent, and it has been quite stable and easy to set up.

Whether the product will serve the purpose or not depends on where you want to put the tool. The product is mainly used in data centers and enterprises.

The solution's most valuable feature is its good integration with solutions from other vendors. The rest of the tool's features are the same, meaning they are just functioning as they should.

Dell PowerConnect Switches is a solution used by the cabinet of ministers in governmental structures, businesses, and other national agencies for television and broadcasting. Dell PowerConnect Switches can be considered a very compatible product with Cisco products. With the product's documents having documents available for Dell PowerConnect Switches, you can prepare something similar to Cisco. The price of Dell PowerConnect Switches is very competitive since there may be no proper variety of products like Cisco has when it comes to Dell.

The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is a stable and reliable product covered with good warranties and prices that ensure deep discounts for partners.

My main use case for Dell PowerConnect Switches is as a data center switch, but only for specific servers.

The most valuable feature of Dell PowerConnect Switches for me is the throughput. I also like that the product has more compatibility with Dell infrastructure, especially with EMC and new generation Dell servers. Dell PowerConnect Switches can also easily integrate with Dell servers, and this is another pro.

The platform's most valuable features are network switch functionality and fiber switch capabilities. The integration with both Dell and other vendors like Cisco is also seamless.

The product's infrastructure and connectivity features need improvement.

Dell PowerConnect Switches are primarily used at the distribution layer, but as the product evolved, higher models became available. These newer models can function closer to the core network or the backbone.

I have used these switches in banks and government hospitals in Nigeria. They are also deployed in universities and SMEs.

The tool is very user-friendly, with features catering to beginners and advanced users. For beginners, there are models with interactive and easy-to-navigate GUIs that aid in initial deployment and updates. For advanced users, there is the option to use the CLI.
