User Testimonials
	Extreme Networks Wired Access - Switches	Intel Tofino Series
Likelihood to Recommend	Extreme Networks If you have a big environment with a lot of edge switch needs and department groups, then Extreme's fabric connect can save a lot of management time. If your environment is small then you may want to stick with the traditional model since fabric connect costs more. Also if you make lots of configuration changes all the time then fabric connect will be helpful. Otherwise, making an occasional change you don't need fabric connect.

Pros	Extreme Networks Uptime has been fantastic. We have had no issues with our switches shutting down or crashing Policy, We have the ability to enforce Policy at the port Incentivized DT Darren Tingey Technology Director Read full review	Intel Corporation No answers on this topic
Cons	Extreme Networks They are working on it, but a single console to manage the policies across all switches. For those with a Cisco background, the CLI commands are different with Extreme so you have to get used to that. Nothing necessarily wrong though. If you want a chassis core switch/router then those are becoming less available and won't find many options with Extreme.

Likelihood to Renew	Extreme Networks Great product, great support and very happy with the reliability. Incentivized Tim Slater Manager, Corporate Services and Information Systems Read full review	Intel Corporation No answers on this topic
Usability	Extreme Networks Very easy to use, the CLI is a little different than competing products, but the GUI is very intuitive. Incentivized Tim Slater Manager, Corporate Services and Information Systems Read full review	Intel Corporation No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Extreme Networks There hasn't been a single problem with the code or hardware that hasn't been resolved in a timely fashion. You get technicians who know the product and who will work with you to get things fixed. That being said, I never ran into a problem with Cisco tech support either. I love that both groups were willing to teach me as they fixed things. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Intel Corporation No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Extreme Networks We upgraded to Extreme Switches from Cisco SG500 and SG250 small business switches. Extreme Switches offer a much easier to use GUI management platform called Extreme CloudIQ, which makes visibility into our network much easier and user friendly. Performance wise these offered higher uplink speed as well. Incentivized GJ Geoff Johnson Network System Administrator Read full review	Intel Corporation No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Extreme Networks Extreme [Ethernet Switches] have a long-life. You can easily get 7 years in main production life depending on when you buy in the product life-cycle. Extreme [Ethernet Switches] are expensive, no doubt, but we also don't have "weird" network problems or other issues with the network randomly going down. If you use fabric connect switches then the ease of managing many switches is of no concern. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Intel Corporation No answers on this topic
