Room for Improvement

Author infoRatingReview Summary
Systems Support Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees4.5We use Extreme VDX for connecting to Hitachi VSP and find its performance excellent with no issues. However, regular software updates and better compatibility with stacking different switch brands would improve security and network needs. Extreme VDX remains the most stable solution compared to alternatives.
