“Cisco Nexus Switches Offer Advanced Features but Encounter Reliability Concerns”
My experience with Cisco as a vendor has been mostly positive. The sales representative has been quite responsive and has responded to my emails within a day or two. We had a series of demonstrations and question and answer sessions with the sales rep as well as a sales engineer (SE). Cisco SEs are one of Cisco's greatest strengths. They know their products very well and can answer any technical questions that my team had for them. They also made sure to highlight many of the "advanced" features of these switches and showed us how they could best be used in our datacenter.
