Have the supply chain woes pushed you into vendors you wouldn't normally consider?

I've seen more and more posts about network shops that normally buy from mainstream network vendors using equipment like FiberStore, MikroTik, Ubiquiti and disagg/whitebox because it's more available.

It made me curious as to how many will continue to use solutions they wouldn't have normally considered after the supply chain issues have subsided.

Have you gone down this road with your company?

If so, what's your experience been and will you continue using equipment that isn't from $LargeVendor ?
