I think their most valuable feature is their FabricOS. With this feature, we have the ability to virtualize the entire network infrastructure across multiple locations and multiple switches. Secondary to that, is their auto detect auto sense capability, which you can actually configure so that you do not have to preconfigure ports. You can simply plug a device in, and if it's based on several parameters and some rule sets, it will decide how to configure that port, what VLANs to connect to it, and where to connect it and where to route it based on what the device is.

The support team is not technically that strong. The previous company that owned the product, Nortel, went bankrupt, after which the transition phase of the product didn't go smoothly. Avaya did not do well with the product's design and engineering after taking the product over from Nortel, after which Avaya decided to outsource the tool to my company, meaning we have worked as a vendor with third-party access to the tool in the name of Avaya. The support was very bad initially, but my company could fix the problems of the customers on time since we had better communication skills than technical-solving skills due to our limitations related to the area of device engineering. When it comes to a feature of the product, my company could enable it for the customers or users of the product. If, by any chance, my company found a bug in the tool, then it was a hectic task for our support team to deal with it since it took months to fix it. Currently, Extreme Networks takes care of the support part, and it might have improved. I rate the technical support a four out of ten.

Room for Improvement

"The support, software resiliency, and software stability are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"One area for improvement with Extreme Routing is the need for more accessible and comprehensive training."
"My advice for those looking into ExtremeRouting is: right now all switch manufacturers are backed up for months. If you're looking to implement quickly, I would say shop around a bit because it might be difficult."
