What is our primary use case? Our primary use case for ExtremeSwitching is for business customers in sectors such as hospitality, business transfers, IPTV solutions, Wi-Fi solutions, IP telephone solutions, and manufacturing. It is used for multiple business applications. What is most valuable? The most valuable feature of ExtremeSwitching is the Extreme Fabric, specifically the switching fabric. This feature is crucial for the deployment and installation of switches, making administration less problematic. Both we and the architects we work with appreciate this aspect. What needs improvement? ExtremeSwitching's software stability could be improved, as it sometimes crashes. For how long have I used the solution? I have more than four years of experience working with ExtremeSwitching. What do I think about the stability of the solution? I would rate the stability of ExtremeSwitching between seven to eight out of ten. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? ExtremeSwitching is highly scalable, and I would rate it as nine out of ten. How are customer service and support? The technical support is rated as six out of ten. We have experienced some cases being closed without resolution, requiring improvement in the technical support provided to customers. How would you rate customer service and support? Neutral How was the initial setup? The initial setup is straightforward. What was our ROI? The return on investment is high. Most implementations have a one to three-year period to see returns. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? ExtremeSwitching is priced in the mid-range, not too expensive nor too cheap. What other advice do I have? I would recommend ExtremeSwitching to others. Based on my experience, I would rate the overall solution as eight out of ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution? On-premises Disclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:Partner What is our primary use case?

Superb value with advanced networking features and competitive pricing

What is our primary use case? The use case for ExtremeSwitching is enterprise core and Wi-Fi coverage. How has it helped my organization? Difficult to say because, basically, we just support the devices. I wasn't part of the turnover process when we switched, so that's not something I can comment on. What is most valuable? Some of the most valuable features of ExtremeSwitching are Fabric Attach and BGP, as well as the price point, which are superior in the market. What needs improvement? While it is true of all vendors, there may be a slightly lower reliability standard. It's hard for me to compare as we are at one switch shop. However, I have heard through supporting networks that the main concern is that ExtremeSwitching may fail more than some higher-priced competitors. For how long have I used the solution? From my primary experience, I have used the solution for two years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? There is a small hit on reliability, however, without a good basis for comparison, I would rate the stability an eight on a scale of one to ten. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? While not exclusive to Extreme, the stacking options are useful. We've had some success there, as well as expandability between core VSPs and edge switches. It's been quite convenient. On a scale of one to ten, I would probably rate scalability as a nine. How are customer service and support? Support has a high degree of availability and expertise. They are in or near our time zone, cordial, and knowledgeable. These are important elements. I find this makes up for the lack of a ubiquitous knowledge base for ExtremeSwitching. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? We've been using ExtremeSwitching since I have been involved in the network side. How was the initial setup? The initial setup is relatively comparable to other enterprise-grade devices. On a scale of one to ten, with ten being the easiest, I would call it a seven. What about the implementation team? The deployment involves about twenty or so individuals including roles such as analyst, network engineer, and technician. What was our ROI? When it comes to an ROI conversation, I can't really comment on it as that's not my side of the business. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? I am not heavily involved with pricing, but my general understanding is they are competitive on the licensing and cost standpoint. When you compare equal features in the market, they are probably the most competitive. Which other solutions did I evaluate? Primarily, we are an extreme shop. We are looking at Netgear and Cisco for a number of solutions. What other advice do I have? I would recommend ExtremeSwitching for their good value proposition in terms of cost to reliability. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions. What is our primary use case? The use case for ExtremeSwitching is enterprise core and Wi-Fi coverage. How has it helped my organization? Difficult to say because, basically, we just support the devices.

A stable platform with no downtime, breakage, performance issues

What is most valuable? ExtremeSwitching is a good, stable platform. There is no comparison between Cisco Nexus Flex and ExtremeSwitching. Cisco Access uses a standard model of the Flex content, which comes with the Cisco model for 96 ports and Fortinet support. We compared Cisco Nexus with Flex connectivity to extend the server connectivity with the 96 and FortiG uplink ports. The cost for Cisco was too high, so we were trying to go with some other models. First, the configuration part and all other content are readily available online. Second, there is no issue with the hardware and performance because many Flex switches, including older models, are still working. Specifically, Flex switches with serial numbers 5548 and 5596 are outdated but still working. We must replace these switches with 9000 or 9300 series switches of the same capacity. What needs improvement? Experiences with ExtremeSwitching depend on the customer. It keeps changing, but it has a high capacity, with more throughput and more ports for data centers. For regular customers, it is extremely good. We must go with increased capabilities and throughput for SMEs and data centers. For how long have I used the solution? I have used ExtremeSwitching for five or ten years back. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The product is stable. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? ExtremeSwitching is scalable to a certain extent for SME-segmented IP. In India, people mostly choose Cisco for data center networks, but ExtremeSwitching is a good option for SME-segmented IP networks. How are customer service and support? The technical support is good. How would you rate customer service and support? Neutral How was the initial setup? The initial setup is good. We have already configured ExtremeSwitching for many customers. What other advice do I have? ExtremeSwitching is good, stable, and reliable. However, a few customers here use it for four to five years without any issues. There is no downtime, no breakage, and nothing else. The hardware is suitable. The configuration part is different if you compare it to other products. Many companies use score-based content, and ExtremeSwitching has a different command line type. If you can find out how to configure it, you can use it. Overall, I rate the solution a nine or ten out of ten. Disclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:Partner What is most valuable? ExtremeSwitching is a good, stable platform.

A comprehensive solution for compass projects with fabric and wifi with good pricing

What is our primary use case? We use the solution for Compass projects with fabric and Wi-Fi. What is most valuable? ExtremeSwitching fabric technology is a unique technology used to protect against viruses. ExtremeCloud IQ is a very good and feature-rich solution compared to Cisco, Ruxi Networks, or Huawei. What needs improvement? Extreme Networks does not have any entry-level products. This is a problem for them because Aruba has an Instant On series, which is new and cost-effective. Cisco also has the 1000 series, and other brands offer entry-level products. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using ExtremeSwitching for more than eight years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The solution’s stability is very good. I’m not facing any hardware problems. Even if there is, they offer a lifetime warranty and smoothly exchange the switches. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The product’s scalability is excellent. In Turkey projects, we use more than 7000 ports in one branch, which is very good because fabric technology gives us tremendous flexibility. There are more than 2,000 end users of the product in Turkey. How are customer service and support? ExtremeSwitching has the best after-sales technical support. Sometimes, when we face problems, we create a case, and the guys who attend to the case are very capable and good. Because of this, some clients even purchase white glove services from Extreme Networks' premier support. They are very satisfied with after-sales operations. How was the initial setup? The initial setup is straightforward since they are offering very good cloud services. Deployment took around a couple of hours for small branches, but for large sizes with about 5000 ports, it will be about four or five days maximum. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? ExtremeSwitching offers very good pricing plans for their licenses. Compared to their rivals, ExtremeSwitching's prices are very affordable and reasonable. This is why our customers are happy to pay for their service critical support. ExtremeSwitching also offers a great portal to track clients, further satisfying our customers. They are always happy to pay for the service every month. The pricing is very reasonable. What other advice do I have? All ExtremeSwitching products are compliant with on-premises and cloud environments. In Turkey, the cloud is a new market; as of now, on-premises solutions still account for 60% of the market. I advise focusing on the technologies rather than the brands because there are too many fans of Cisco or Aruba. Try to see how powerful the technology behind the external networks is. We’ve sold many ExtremeSwitching to Aruba and Cisco customers; they continued to buy ExtremeSwitching because the brand is not a good thing. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions. What is our primary use case? We use the solution for Compass projects with fabric and Wi-Fi. What is most valuable? ExtremeSwitching fabric technology is a unique technology used to protect against viruses.

Great analytics and security with good visibility

What is our primary use case? We have high-power switches, like the ERS. It's good for a dense power environment of over 24 ports. It provides application visibility on the universal switches so I can have security integration with the NAC systems. There are plenty of use cases for this one product. What is most valuable? The analytics and security are great. They give us very good visibility over the network and what's happening at the network level from the switch. It is stable. The solution can scale. What needs improvement? In general, it's good enough. Maybe they should have an on-premises solution since some customers don't like cloud solutions, and the analytics is cloud-based only. The initial setup requires assistance. The licensing is expensive. For how long have I used the solution? I've been using the solution for more than three years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The solution is very stable and reliable. I'd rate it eight out of ten. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The scalability is pretty good. I'd rate it eight out of ten in terms of ease of expansion. We have 12 people currently working on the product. How are customer service and support? So far, I haven't faced any issues and haven't needed any technical support. How was the initial setup? The implementation process requires technical experience. We configure the devices one by one. How long it takes depends on the size of the solution and if it's connected to the controller or not. If the switches are not controlled, it can take a whole day. If it's controlled, it'll take a few hours. We only need two people to handle deployment and maintenance tasks. They are network administrators or sometimes engineers. What about the implementation team? A company cannot set up the solution itself. It requires technical experience. What was our ROI? I'm not sure how much ROI we are getting out of the solution as the licensing cost is quite high. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? I don't like the licensing model. It's expensive. What other advice do I have? I would recommend the solution to others. I'd rate it eight out of ten in terms of overall functionality. Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

God performance, cost-effective, and capable of expanding

What is our primary use case? We deploy the switches in a spine and leaf model, which is the current requirement. Earlier, we used to have a tier three model, like core distribution and access tier. Now, in the database center, we don't do this. We connected all our servers to the leaf and read out to the traffic via the spine. And we enable EMVPN and LT routing on that switches. All meshed networks we configure with seamless connectivity to ISO. How has it helped my organization? We have a target market or small and medium-sized businesses. ExtremeSwitches is the perfect match for them. I will go and recommend ExtremeSwitches due to its cost-effectiveness. A small or medium business probably doesn't have the capital of a large-scale industry. Their net worth or turn turnover would be less than high capital gain companies like Apple or Google. ExtremeSwitches is the best solution for small or medium businesses in terms of cost-effectiveness and scalability. That said, if a company doesn't want to compromise security features and performance, then Cisco is better. What is most valuable? It is meeting our expectations in terms of performance as well as cost-effectiveness. The product is scalable. What needs improvement? In terms of support, they could be better. They need to enhance their vulnerability assessment and security features. There are latency issues that need to be addressed. For how long have I used the solution? I've been using this and related solutions for about 16 years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The performance is good. That said, quite often, the solution can crash. It is not meant for a large-scale business. It is meant for only small or medium businesses. There is some room for improvement required in the convergence time of the switch. Whenever we see the premise, there are certain protocols that go down at convergence. There are so many clusters in the backend that failover. Sometimes we see the database crash. It could be a bit more reliable; however, it is fine for smaller businesses. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The solution scales quite well and quite easily. We have had almost 2,000 users on the solution. How are customer service and support? When I see the tech engineers, they join the calls whenever there is any performance issue. Whenever there is an RMA required to replace the switches, they don't commit to the timelines. Also, the support is not straightforward. There are so many processes in between. They lack responsiveness. Whenever we open a priority one case, they don't respond quickly at all. If there is an outage, we don't have any options. Sometimes we feel embarrassed providing support to our business. In contrast, I don't see any issue in the support model of Cisco. They are timely and respond fast. Everything is on time, actually. Even RMA delivery, if we are enrolled with their smart support, they can deliver the product within four hours, which is quite good actually. In terms of the support model, ExtremeSwitches is lagging. How would you rate customer service and support? Neutral Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? I've been in this industry for about 16 years, so I've had the chance to work with multiple vendors and technologies. Other than ExtremeSwitches, most of the time, I worked on Cisco technologies or Brocade. How was the initial setup? We deployed the switches in a spine and leaf architecture-based model. It's pretty straightforward in terms of configuration. The complexity comes into the picture when you are looking for robustness in the network. If it's a simple network, it's simple to deploy, however, with the advent of new technologies and with the advent of a low latency network and so many protocols and so many features being introduced, it can get complex. It all depends on what kind of business you are working with and how many features you want to enable in that particular switch. The complexity comes when you enable many features in your switches or your environment. If you are working for Apple, they definitely look for security features. If you are working for a small or medium business, they will look for a cost-effective solution. We have a team of eight people that can handle deployment and maintenance tasks. They have been able to extend support to businesses. What about the implementation team? We handle the initial setup. We do not outsource the tasks. Whenever we do any configuration changes and deployment altogether, we are the one who is responsible for making decisions and deploying the solution on the ground. What was our ROI? We have seen an ROI in terms of using the solution. I'd rate the ROI potential at a three out of five. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The solution is very cost-effective. It's not overly expensive at all. What other advice do I have? If you are an SMB and looking for the most cost-effective solution, then you should definitely go for ExtremeSwitches. However, if you are not ready to compromise with the performance, then don't use it. Cisco or Brocade is much better in that regard; however, it also comes at a price. Overall, I would rate the solution eight out of ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Easy to configure, with a switching-level security feature

What is our primary use case? We have over 50+ Extreme Routers in our enterprise. Our L3 switches also handle routing. We have over 50 L2 switches to handle the endpoints. When connecting directly to the endpoints, we use Extreme L2 switches. They are primarily in computer labs, IP environments, and research labs. What is most valuable? The solution has a switching-level security feature. We can easily implement ExtremeSwitching for each port server. This way we can ensure more security to the endpoints. It is easy to configure, even on the command line. What needs improvement? The solution as a whole has hardware quality issues. Even in small cases of lightning some ports will stop working and require RMS or other support to recover. We constantly run into hardware issues. The solution also lacks a dashboard to display session monitoring in order to view the switching-based attributes that require close watch. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using the solution for eight years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The stability of the solution is good. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The solution is scalable. Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? Previously we used HPE but the products are costly so we switched to the solution because it is budget-friendly. How was the initial setup? The initial setup is easy. It only took three days. What about the implementation team? The implementation was done in-house. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The solution is budget-friendly especially when you buy in bulk. The price is hardware based. We paid 25,000 to 30,000 INR. Which other solutions did I evaluate? We evaluated Aruba and Cisco-based products. What other advice do I have? I give the solution an eight out of ten. In the case of small businesses, the solution is budget-friendly and easy to configure. Aruba and Cisco are preferred solutions but are more costly.
