There was a thread on NANOG a while back about dell switches and the opinion at the time seemed almost in complete agreement - dell switches stink for everything but pure ipv4 shuffle packets.. unmanaged without any features.
They are not ciscos at all.. they have a cisco like interface but then again so does zebra.. but that doesn't make it a cisco either.
And imho, being the 'wal-mart' of something isn't necessarily a good thing.. even wal-mart sells some total junk (to put it lightly).

Bleh, what "group" said this? The 3Com group? Dell is the WalMart of
the hardware world. Their pricing is better because they build
efficiencies. I have 33XX 54XX and I just bought my first 6024 Layer 3
QOS ready switch. These things are nothing but Ciscos in sheep's
clothing. They have been rock solid for me and others that I know who
use them.

Remember, you pay for what you get.. especially with Dell networking
equipment. I have heard about several groups who tried the dell switches
only to give up on them because the dell switches just didn't perform.
Yes, price-wise they look good.. but as far as performance goes.. (that
is assuming you want high/solid performance) I'd look elsewhere.
