Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch LAN Switches Reviews

In our company, we mainly use the solution for layer 2 switching.

I won't be able to comment on which features of the solution I found valuable since we support various users. However, we don't configure products for them. Also, we don't inspect their configuration. So, we wouldn't know how the switches are configured. We don't utilize any of the functions. The main functions of the solutions that we use are the diagnostic ones, in terms of viewing how the switches configure and related things. Other than that, we don't really dive into how the switches are configured for the network of our users.

We use, and provide these switches to our customers.

We use Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch LAN Switches in the hospitality industry, and we have hospitality clients. We used to sell to hospitality customers, who are SMBs, and enterprises.

We have been selling for eight or ten years, and the customer is satisfied, and the entire Qatar army project is powered by the Alcatel-Lucent network.

Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch LAN Switches have elements that are suited for the hospitality industry. For example, they want a phone, switches, routers, and WiFi, all from one vendor. As a result, they can provide all solutions. They don't want to approach different vendors, for support, maintenance, or any other activities. From a single vendor, or they can view the entire IT solution from any office, at any infrastructure setup. If you go with any other third-party, you would have to rely on different vendors and setups for each manufacturer.

With Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch LAN Switches everything comes from one vendor. It operates very smoothly.

We work with LAN switches.

One of the main advantages of the solution is that the configuration is straightforward, offering various configuration options through CLI or web interfaces. Adapting to Alcatel switch configuration is relatively easy for those familiar with Cisco or HP configurations. The CLI, based on a Unix operating system (now Linux), provides easy access to essential information. Alcatel switches can be connected in a stack of up to eight elements.

There are some issues with the network firmware being deleted from the switches.

I've been using OmniSwitch LAN Switches for around a year.

These are our core switches; we use them for networking. 

Within our organization, there are roughly 30 people using these switches. All maintenance is handled by two staff members. 

These OmniSwitches are very manageable and easy to configure. 

We are a solution provider and these are some of the networking switches that we implement for our customers.

The most valuable feature is the ease of configuration. You have a single interface and do not have to switch modes, whether you are configuring the interface, VPN, or otherwise.

The Alcatel APs are very good, with a beautiful design, and they are easy to scale.

The security features are good.
