Because of symmetry if (x,y,z) is a solution then any permutation of (x,y,z) is also a solution
without loss of generality let us assume that x<=y<=z
So x+y+z <= 3z
puttying in the given equation we get
3z >= xyz
or 3>=xy
This gives the following set in (x,y)
(1,1) giving 2 + z = z which does not have a solution
(1,2) giving 3 + z = 2z or z = 3
(1,3) giving 4 + z = 3z giving z = 2 which is a contradiction as it should not be less than 3
so solution set (1,2,3) or a permutation of the same.
