Our environment doesn't change too much--it's pretty much configured once for the right scenario. Most of the capabilities of the switches will depend in whether you have a license coverage. Cisco offers a three-year opt-in with the purchase of the switches.
We manage those switches primary via CLI. All the switches have the option to manage via CLI or GUI depending on user requirements.
They have more robust protocols; also you don't need to pay subscription. Pretty much those switches are configured once.
