We performed a comparison between Cisco Nexus and Dell PowerSwitch N-Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two LAN Switching solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."A very solid and reliable solution."
"The most valuable feature of the 7700 series is probably the multi-context subset VRS, which lets you use multi-VRS, multi-context, and also VPC setup, where you have two logical devices that are still separate in terms of management planes, but have shared, virtual core channels."
"Nexus has improved my organization in the way that it provided enhanced security in a point in the network that was critical."
"The most valuable features are the access layer security, OpenConfig, and OpenFlow."
"When it comes to data centers, Cisco Nexus is the best."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Nexus is speed compared to what you would get from a Catalyst Series switch."
"It's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability."
"For a customer, it is easy to configure and to add ports through the LAN the GUI."
"Port density and port speed performance are both suitable. It has some appealing intangibles."
"One improvement needed is support for Multi-CAD scale that we were concerned about. We're not hitting any limits at this point."
"Data center access is stable and high speed but it is not compatible with Cisco's server hardware devices. The solution can be technically improved and can have features like automation, better visibility, better functionality, and cheap pricing."
"It would be nice if the solution offered multiple types of port support."
"I would like to see more automation and for it to be easier to use."
"Areas in which the solution have room for improvement are the interface, management, and reporting."
"Technical support could be better."
"I don't really deal with the pricing but I know that it's not cheap."
"As a device meant to lead the processes related to networking and troubleshooting, I feel both aspects can be described as areas with certain concerns where improvements are required."
"Instead of competing at the enterprise level with that product, they should probably scale it. With all of the ports, they should develop a good mid-level business to truly scale it and gain adoption before attempting to go after the enterprise."
"Customers do not prefer this to connect to multiple cities."
