What do you dislike about Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch?

There's really nothing that happens to be a dislike. One imp aspect, they can improve is on their marketing (which is currently underdone), public events and most importantly partner ecosystem+ distributor channel. And probably price-point is something they can revisit to make them more competitive. However, all in all they are absolutely value for money product kind of company.

Recommendations to others considering Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch:

I would definitely recommend Alcatel Switching platforms to the user community.

They are built on robust hardware, very strong and enriched OS (only 1 major release per year).

Moreover, they have temperature hardened variants at very attractive price-points best suit for harsh environmental conditions and locations where air conditioning is not possible.

They also have products in various form-factors (fixed chassis, modular chassis, stackable, etc.) making it more convinient and flexible offering when it comes to making a choice for your networking requirements considering current and future needs.

They also specialize in manufacturing ruggedized, industrial grade, outdoor switches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Specially the OS is branched from their deeply experienced R&D arm of their mother concern (Alcatel) who is the pioneer in technology and innovations when it comes to carrier grade networks & service provider technology.
