Cisco Ethernet Switches Reviews

My primary use case is in a balance network across my company.

These switches are very reliable in the long term, so we don't have to worry about failures.

I've been using this solution for thirty-one years.

This is a very stable solution with a very low failure rate - only about one in a hundred of these switches will fail over a ten-year period.

I haven't had any issues with Cisco technical support.

I have previously used D-Link but remained with Cisco due to its reliability.

The initial setup was straightforward.

Because the failure rate is so low and the product lasts for so long, the ROI is high.

Cisco switches are very highly-priced in comparison to other similar products.

There is no better product than this for use in harsh environments. I would rate this solution as nine out of ten.

We work for our customers. Our clients are small, medium, and enterprise companies.

The brand name and the service support by Cisco are most valuable.

In terms of features, all features are there. I can't find anything new that needs to be added. Its price, however, is a bit higher than other brands and can be improved.

I have been using this solution for 20 years.

Their technical support is very good.

I have been working for 20 years, so I find it easy.

Its price is a bit higher than other brands. Indian customers are price-conscious. They should improve its price.

It is the best product. I would advise others to go for it. All the features are there. In other switches, some features are missing, but Cisco provides all the required features.

I would rate Cisco Ethernet Switches a 10 out of 10. 

We primarily use the solution as a networking switch.

The solution's valuable features are the speed of network transfer, it can transfer four to six gigabits per second. Additionally, we found it to be secure.

I have been using Cisco Ethernet Switches for approximately eight years. 

I find the solution to be stable. 

The scalability of the solution is good. 

I am the only one in my organization using the solution.

I have little experience with the solutions technical support and I am satisfied with it.

The installation is difficult and requires further training documentations. I can configure it alone with some supervision.  

For the deployment of the solution, we were aided by consultants, and no other technical team is needed for the maintenance. 

The solution does not require a license. However, it is expensive and the price could improve. 

I recommend the solution to others.

I rate Cisco Ethernet Switches a ten out of ten. 

I use it for plug-ins, wireless, and WiFi, and to use the Cisco controller.

The performance of Cisco Ethernet Switches is better.

It is stable and scalable as well.

It is easy to install.

The price could be improved. Cisco Ethernet Switches is a very expensive solution.

I've been working with this solution for 20 years.

We have 20 customers who use it.

It is a stable solution.

It is scalable.

Technical support has been good.

It's very easy to install; it took about half an hour.

I implemented it myself.

It is a very expensive solution.

I would recommend Cisco Ethernet Switches and rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten.

This solution is used as a networking switch for my customers.

This solution is overall a high-grade solution compared to others.

I have been using this solution for approximately 16 years.

My customers are satisfied with the stability of the solution when they are using DNA architecture, otherwise, they are not.

I am an engineer and I think that the initial setup was not difficult. However, if you are going to build DNA architecture in this case, it is difficult because to build an operational DMI network architecture, the customer must have a CCI engineer.

The price of this solution is high. 

There could be an improvement in the licensing by reducing the price of the different types, such as essential, advantage, and premium.

I have evaluated HP and other solutions.

My advice is there are other options than Cisco solutions.

I rate Cisco Ethernet Switches an eight out of ten.

We use Cisco Ethernet Switches for local area networks in banks.

Cisco Ethernet Switches are stable. 

Cisco is not user-friendly. It would be best if you had a technical expert. The graphical user interface is more like a command line, and most functionalities are on the command line.

I have been using Cisco Ethernet Switches for two and a half years.

It's a stable solution.

I am satisfied with it.

The initial setup is straightforward, but it takes a long time to implement and deploy these switches. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Cisco Ethernet Switches a nine.

I use this solution as a network switch and I provide service to the switches to my customers.

The main features of this solution are performance and ease of use.

I have been using this solution for approximately 20 years.

I have some clients with approximately 1,600 users using the solution.

The installation is straightforward. You can configure most switches in approximately 45 minutes.

I have done many implementations of the solution. We have an engineer and a technician that does the maintenance for this solution.  

There is a license required for this solution and the price could be better.

I rate Cisco Ethernet Switches a seven out of ten.

We use these switches to improve client connections.

We're a manufacturing facility — we have POCs and terminals. We have maybe 90 to 100 users with desk phones, and roughly 20 printers.

We don't perform maintenance ourselves. A third-party company handles the maintenance. We also outsource other vendors to help us with some complex configurations that we've had implemented.  

I would like to have a way to access a graphical web interface, but they either have an outdated iOS or they don't work well with Flash. They don't work well or show us enough details. They don't show errors or bandwidth on particular reports. 

I don't know if there were optional models, but the models that we bought don't have a redundant power supply. It would be nice if they had higher wattage for PoE+.

It would also be nice if they didn't have plastic faceplates that break easily.

I have been working with Cisco Ethernet Switches for over 13 years.

These switches are both stable and scalable. 

Cisco's technical support is usually quite helpful.

The initial setup is not complex, but it's not easy either. I know what to do with Cisco switches, but we had one FortiGate switch that we used to connect our firewalls which I liked because it was easy to set up and had a nice interface. 

Deployment was easy. I just took it out of the box and configured it. Deployment only took a few hours. I deployed them myself. 

We haven't seen any gains as of yet.

I am interested in switching over to Fortinet FortiSwitches. I've been checking them out, comparing the price, features, and compatibility compared to Cisco Ethernet Switches. It may be a mixed environment for a while.

We're looking for a better graphical interface and price. 

My advice would be to look at Fortinet. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Cisco Ethernet Switches a rating of eight.
