We're using those switches (a total of 4) as L2-core in our two DC-colocations in a MLAG configuration. The switches work flawlessly without any problems. One gets definitely a lot bang for the buck here.

The only thing which could be better is integrations in ansible and other community maintained solutions. They're rather sparse and therefore need efforts to build by yourself.

It works fine for everything I need it to do and much much more.

The switches we ordered were a great fit and are functioning exactly as intended. Performance and availability is on point.

This model is compatible with our requirements. I need a simple 25GE switch, at least 8 ports that can do simple port-to-port connectivity. I.e. the switch can be able to interconnect ports A and B regardless of the traffic. The cost for the extra SW license was affordable, so I can access the full L2 and L3 functionality. The license was well installed, I don't need to spend extra time to install it.

I usually stick to the larger players for equipment like this (ex cisco, extreme networks, etc) but those traditional vendors tend to have a significant markup on their equipment. FS.com has a variety of switches for options. In general, my experience with FS switches is reliable and has no difficulty configuring, it offers Cisco-like CLI.

Id just like to write up what I found out;
I have Dell/Broadcom 57314 2x25G Mezzanine card, and if you dont turn both FECs on on such NIC, S5850 will not connect it on default FEC policy. So either enable both Base-R and Reed-Solomon on those NICs, or set both NIC and switchport to NONE -FEC.
