Deciding Factors: Mellanox Switches Vs. Market Average
Performance of Mellanox Switches Across Market Features
Mellanox Switches Likes & Dislikes
- It has been reliably working for well over two decades and its performance is constantly improving - Setting up the network and traffic path is much easier than Ethernet
Mellanox support is really great, quick and professional
easy interfaced and workload handling is great
- It provides a lot of CLI tools for understanding the network and diagnosing problems, but they have hardly evolved over over the years. - No native GUI or dashboard to show metrics - Managed switches are much more expensive than unmanaged ones, so it is hard to gain visibility into individual switches without using CLI tools
Interoperability with other network vendors. For instance, we failed to implement LAGG with Cisco Nexus switches on the other side as it was unsupported scenario
not much commands

Reliable and powerful, but needs better native metrics and visualization tools
I love the power and staying power of Mellanox Infiniband switches. They remain the interconnect of choice for HPC workloads for the 20 years I've been in this field and there is on end in sight to their lead. One complaint I have is that it is not easy to gain visibility into their network and get metrics on a dashboard like virtually all other solutions. - Systems Engineer50M-1B USDTravel and HospitalityReview Source

Integrating Mellanox switces into a Dell Brocade switch environment
The integration was almost seamless, only problem was the 100GB fibers that arrived was too short, new ones had to be ordered and delivered to site - Engineering Manager1B-10B USDMiscellaneousReview Source
