Cisco Nexus Reviews

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 product for campaign management.

The product has allowed us to create one holistic view for our entire organization.

The most valuable features for us are schedule management, analytics, and Assurance software.

Any problems we have with the product stems from the difficulty of connecting with other non-Cisco products. There are other products on the market which we would like to have integrated. That's when we have a real solution.

It's quite stable. It's not as good as it was supposed to be. 

For the products we are currently using there is still a lot more to be done to allow integration of other market products.

The customer service is pretty good.

Installation and deployment of the product are pretty straightforward.

We used Configur8 for the implementation. They are a Cisco partner. The service was very good — amazing.

We did explore other products, but Cisco is something we can use permanently. Specifically, we compared with HP/HPE.

I would rate this product a seven out of ten. It needs a lot more improvement in integration capabilities.

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.

Our primary use case for the Cisco Nexus solution is for the data center.

We have a much more stable network now using the Cisco Nexus.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the durability. 

Being this is the first usage, we don't have any expectations yet. 

The stability of this solution is very high.

The scalability of the Cisco Nexus is very high.

Cisco Nexus is more complex than your standard Catalyst. It's a whole different environment.

The development and the program configuration is not like what you're used to after doing Catalyst for 20 years. It has a little bit of a learning curve.

We went from the manufacturer for the deployment. We worked directly with Cisco. Our experience with them was very good.

On a scale from one to 10, I would rate the product a 10 for the stability. The durability exceeded our expectations. 

Don't discard Cisco Nexus because of the price. Take a hard look at it. I would highly recommend it

The most valuable features are extensions and recorded scalability.

Areas for improvement would be the delivery timeline for the actual model, the length of which means we have to sacrifice a range of models because we can't wait six months for delivery.

I've been working with this solution for a few months.

In terms of stability, it's so far so good - we haven't faced any big issues at this point.

We want to extend out to other regions, which is very easy to achieve if compared to the typical traditional legacy layer 2 switch, layer 3 routing approach.

The initial setup wasn't simple or user-friendly. We're still in the process of fully deploying - currently, we've been working on it for around three months.

We used the Cisco team to implement, with whom we've had a good experience. We've also had support from HPE, who are very technically strong and able to answer any questions we have on the spot.

I don't like the Smart Licensing models that Cisco uses.

Cisco is one of the most stable solutions, regardless of which model. I would give this solution a rating of eight out of ten.

We use the solution in a data center farm.

We have found that logical tenant segregation to be the most useful feature.

The software is not as mature as it could be and needs some integration improvements with other orchestrators.

I have been using the solution for three years.

When it comes to the stability we had some issues with some software features due to a release bug. The hardware itself is pretty stable. 

The solution is scalable.

The initial installation is pretty straightforward, it takes approximately an hour. When you start with the configuration and moving forward from there, which is not only a matter of technical configuration or the key component but the integration into the environment, this can take several hours.

The solution is expensive.

I would advise others before implantation this solution to study. There are some big changes in respect to the previous concept of networking. There is a learning curve that needs to be considered.

I rate Cisco Nexus an eight 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.

The entirety of our network infrastructure is Cisco-based, and our voice infrastructure comes across that as well. I handle the Unified Communications. 

This solution has drastically improved our organization.

Prior to implementing this solution, our corporate campus was the only place that we had Voice service in our network. Over the past two years, we have brought Cisco Voice to every single one of our offices and stores, nationwide. Essentially, we have unified all of those communication links between stores and our corporate office to support those stores.

For the stores, it has made life simpler for them. They need only press a button to speed dial into a support desk, where before they were totally dependent on an outside POTS line that may not have been available when they needed it. We've also reduced their costs, in that rather than every single satellite office dialing long distance numbers to reach the corporate office for support, the calls now come right across the LANs.

In terms of mitigating incidents, this solution has reduced incidents of lost time by approximately thirty percent.

This solution has saved us both time and money because we now have the ability to control all of these telephony devices that are deployed nationwide. It is simple for us to make changes remotely, rather than having to deploy somebody to go and make the changes. The time that we spent helping people who are in remote sites is minimal now compared to before, so it is definitely an improvement.

The most valuable feature is the flexibility that we have had, working with our network team to get voice implemented. 

There is always room for improvement.

This solution is absolutely stable. Our uptime is wonderful. It is so much that I actually enjoy not being called after hours.

Technical support for this solution has been absolutely wonderful.

We did not have a voice network infrastructure in our stores and we wanted to support it. However, our existing equipment was antiquated and it had to be upgraded. We were still using Cisco equipment, but it was dated and did not have support for voice and the other things that are required today.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward. The implementors that we would source to assist us knew exactly what they were doing. They were not stalled with questions, so it just worked.

We used an integrator to handle part of our implementation, and their service was really good.

Cisco is not stopping in terms of adding support for new features. They are continuing to innovate their product and make it better for everybody.

This is a solution that has made my life much simpler. I can relax in the evening knowing that the solution is stable.

In fact, the biggest lesson that I have learned from using this solution is that we waited too long to deploy it in our stores. For a long time, the stores struggled every day, and it's a good thing that we've got a management team who realized that. They wanted to make things better for the employees that are working in our offices, the customer-facing people. I only wish that we had done it sooner.

My advice for anybody looking to implement a similar solution is to go with Cisco.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
