    Great for our large global environment. Works well with our legacy and newer equipment. Ease of install was exciting compared to other products we POC'd. Less of a learning curve when training Teams on how to monitor and troubleshoot while in production. Service desk were able to capture the logs and load into our ticketing system with ease.

    Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller is much more efficient and programmable; EPN is like template-ready software without automation. Instead, NDFC is very useful during configuration and deployment.
