Engineer at NewLogics4.0We primarily use ExtremeSwitching for various business applications, finding the Extreme Fabric particularly valuable for simplifying administration. While software stability needs improvement due to occasional crashes, the high return on investment within three years is impressive.
Technician Analyst at a energy/utilities company with 5,001-10,000 employees4.0ExtremeSwitching is ideal for enterprise core and Wi-Fi coverage, with valuable features like Fabric Attach and BGP, and a competitive price. While reliability might be a concern compared to pricier competitors, we mainly consider Netgear and Cisco as alternatives.
Assistnat Professor in Computer Science and Engineering Department at a educational organization with 201-500 employees4.0I've found ExtremeSwitching to be stable, reliable, and well-supported, though slightly costly. It performs smoothly post-installation, but I’d like to see more AI-driven automation and plug-and-play features to ease configuration and troubleshooting.
Network division director at Toptal telecommunication company5.0We use ExtremeSwitching for Compass projects with fabric and Wi-Fi due to its unique virus protection technology. However, the lack of entry-level products is a limitation, especially since competitors like Aruba and Cisco offer more affordable options for smaller deployments.
