Enterasys Ethernet Switches [EOL] Reviews

We have 100 users of Enterasys Ethernet Switches.

Enterasys could provide better support, needs an improved user interface and improved performance.

I have been using this solution for five years.

Enterasys Ethernet Switches are stable.

Installation of this solution is straightforward, it only takes one to two hours. We use two engineers to deploy Enterasys Ethernet.

I do not recommend this product.

I would rate it a seven out of ten. 

We are a solution provider and this is one of the products that we implement for our customers.

These switches are mainly used for networking in large buildings. I have used it on government sites in the past, although I am now in the private sector.

This is a big telco switch with six slots.

The initial setup could be made simpler.

There have been a lot of issues with failing parts in these switches.

The pricing should be more competitive.

I have been working with Enterasys Ethernet Switches for perhaps three years.

I have seen a lot of problems with Enterasys switches. There were some parts that were failing a lot and I don't know why. We had a case with one client where we had to replace boards and line guards.

I have experience with many vendors including Aruba, Juniper, and Cisco Meraki.

These days, we primarily sell switches from HPE, Aruba, and Cisco. There is not much difference in the features between these switches and the one from Enterasys. It is only the command set that is different.

Aruba is the easiest switch to configure.

The access list should be different on Enterasys switches, compared to other vendors.

The complexity of the initial setup depends on the environment. They are more complicated than Aruba or Cisco switches. If you have the documentation then it should not be too difficult.

These switches are very expensive compared to those from other vendors.

I would recommend these switches because they are good, although they are very expensive. There is a variety of models to choose from but the ones that we chose were expensive. In our deployment, it was overkill because we had three switches in an environment where we only needed two.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
