Open Networking OS recommendations

Just wondering if anyone can help us with some recommendations.

We are looking into moving into world of open networking. We have a few Mellanox SN2100 switches that's Cumulus Linux compatible. Cumulus licenses for these switches aren't exactly inexpensive.

Before we commit to Cumulus, we are just wondering if there are other options like Sonic, Big Switch, Pica8 etc.

Have people tried few NOSs like Sonic? Is there a NOS that has a GUI for configuration so we don't have to learn all the command lines? We had some Netgear switches, and we are familiar with their GUI so something similar would be nice.

Anyway, would love some recommendations on what others have deployed so far and why.

Thanks in advance.
