Cisco Nexus Reviews

My primary use for this solution is bridging servers and storage arrays and networks across multiple domains.

We move massive amounts of data across the network at a time, so the fact that we can do it over a ten-gigabit pipeline is incredible. It speeds up the network data transfer time.

The most valuable feature is the high performance.

I really wish that Nexus and iOS commands were more similar than they are different. Standardization across iOS and Nexus operating systems would be an improvement.

The stability of this solution is great.

This solution has great scalability.

We are a partner, and most of our programs are air-gapped, which means that we don't get to have real-time customer support. Somebody who is cleared has to come on-site to look at what our problems are.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. There is a pre-configuration wizard that will prompt you whenever you connect any device for the first time. It is pretty simple that way.

The only solutions that we considered were by Cisco. We have used other products, for example from HP, but we were not as satisfied by those as we were with Cisco.

If you want high performance and availability then Nexus is the way to go.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use this solution in our data centers.

This solution has given us the ability to use Cisco ISE for security.

The most valuable feature is the ability to integrate with other Cisco security products.

This solution costs a lot.

This solution is very stable.

This is a very scalable solution.

I haven't had to use technical support yet.

We had two Cisco switches, but they were very, very old.

Our initial setup was complex because we were installing the other data center equipment at the same time.

We used a consultant for our deployment, and our experience was not great. We have had a lot of problems with our vendors.

We haven't seen ROI yet because we're still in the middle of deploying it.

This is a product that I can recommend that people use.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We primarily use this solution for data centers in places like high schools or businesses that support other businesses.

This solution improves network speed and provides high availability for our users.

The most valuable features are the high availability and the basic configurations that we can implement.

I would like to see a central management solution in order to have all of the equipment in one place.

Also, more documentation and more design examples would help us to reach other clients.

I have seen an improvement in the stability of our network with this solution.

This solution is very scalable.

This solution has excellent technical support.

I have experience with the A2K and the Nexus.

The initial setup is complex, but we have a lot of very good documentation.

We used an integrator and a consultant for the implementation. They were pretty good, it was easy and it was very nice for the clients.

Our licensing costs for this solution are approximately $200 USD per month.

We were already working with Cisco.

This is a good solution

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

Our primary use for the Cisco Nexus is the data center, core routing, switching, etc.

Cisco Nexus has improved the way our organization functions by being able to cut the costs. We were able to collapse the core. 

We use Cisco Nexus use as our core and our distribution switch.

The most valuable feature of Cisco Nexus is modularity. It's like the Swiss Army knife of switches. It makes the switches. It can do everything if you have enough money.

If you pay for all the features, you can do almost anything you want to do with it.

The additional features I would like to see is X-LAN and ACI. More ACI or SDN features.

We haven't had any issues. Cisco Nexus is very stable.

Cisco Nexus is very scalable. If you have money to buy more cards, then you get the added features. As long as you have a lot of money.

The technical support for Cisco Nexus is excellent.

The initial shttps://www.itcentralstation.c... of the Cisco Nexus platform is straightforward. 

If you know what you're doing, there are a lot of examples for configuration. There are a lot of best practices out there.

The reseller was Logicalis and the experience has been great with them.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate this product with a seven. Cisco Nexus needs to add the SDN capability and lower the price.

Go with Cisco because of best practices and all the documentation that's out there.

We use this solution for our networking.

The most valuable feature of this solution is its speed.

Currently, the platform is heavy. I would like to see a lighter platform.

This is a stable product.

This solution is definitely scalable.

The technical support group for this solution is very helpful.

Prior to this solution, we used older Cisco products, and we wanted to upgrade to newer technology.

This initial setup of this solution was very simple.

We implemented this solution in-house.

We did not evaluate vendors other than Cisco.

This solution works well and I would recommend it.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

Cisco Nexus could also have better documentation.

Moreover, it would be nice if the solution offered multiple types of port support. It does not have, for example, a single switch for both internet and fiber ports. 

I have been using Cisco Nexus for around 10 years.

The solution has demonstrated stability thus far. 

The solution is scalable.

The technical support is fine.

For Cisco, we use Nexus and 2900.

The initial setup is easy.

As I deal with the technical aspects of the solution, I am not in a position to comment on the price. 

We consider Juniper switches to be more affordable.

I use the solution in my own company. It works.

There are around 500-plus devices being utilized in our organization. 

My advice to others is that they get initial hands-on experience in a lab environment. This should involve a proper grasp of the solution's features, such as that which concerns troubleshooting and may involve a different setup. Only at this point should one enter the production stage. 

I rate Cisco Nexus as a seven out of ten. 

The primary uses of this solution are for managing email servers, EIP modules, and file servers.

Cisco Nexus meets all of our requirements.

I feel that this solution should be more flexible and scalable.

We have been using Cisco Nexus for approximately seven years.

We are using the latest version.

It's a stable solution. We do not have any issues with it.

Scalability needs improvement.

We use a local distributor for support, which is very expensive.

The initial setup was straightforward, and the deployment was easy.

I am not aware of the costs for this solution, it is handled by the accounting department.

I recommend this solution to other users who are interested in using it.

I would rate Cisco Nexus an eight out of ten.

We use the Cisco Nexus as our primary solution for the data center.

The most valuable features of the solution are capacity and scalability.

They did the upgrade recently. It's pretty steady right now.

The scalability of the solution is huge. It's a big box.

Cisco tech support is great.

We are always a Cisco shop.

The initial setup is always complex. It's a new box, so everything has to be set up because migration is a tricky part. It's not just a plug-and-play device. It's a difficult task.

We applied the installation of Cisco Nexus internally.

We have a perpetual license, which means that when we purchase a box, there's no license in the box. Those 9K's are just routers. They're like big data center switches.

In the decision-making process, we knew that we needed to invest in the solution depending on the company's growth vs. product capacity. 

We wanted to invest in a bigger and newer switch.

On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate Cisco Nexus at 8. It is going just great.
