Cisco Ethernet Switches Reviews

We use Cisco Ethernet Switches for LAN networking and connecting our systems.

Cisco Ethernet Switches is stable and robust.

It could be cheaper. It'll also help if it can support more network utilization.

I have been using Cisco Ethernet Switches for about two years.

I think Cisco Ethernet Switches are quite stable, and it's pretty robust,

Cisco Ethernet Switches is scalable.

We are satisfied with technical support. 

The initial setup and installation are straightforward.

A consultant implemented it.

It could be cheaper.

I would recommend Cisco Ethernet Switches to potential users.

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

We use the solution for LAN connectivity.

I have found it to be very flexible and easy to use. Overall less hassle to operate.

I have been using the solution for almost 25 years.

The solution is stable.

I have found the solution to have good scalability. Cisco is the pioneers on switching technology, they are very good. There are approximately 2,500 users using the solution.

The installation is easy.

We are currently doing the deployment remotely due to the covid pandemic. We can also do multiple devices at once. 

The cost of this solution is expensive. However, it is not difficult to sell the product.

I recommend this solution.

I rate Cisco Ethernet Switches a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution like a normal wired network. We use it in the area before you connect it to outer networks using the firewall. Our inner network is managed by switches. All the wired connections come to those switches. We can do internal networking on the switches such as VLANs and all of those things. We use it for basic switching purpose.

Yes, it has improved.

The solution is easy to use.

The product is quite stable, which is one of its main selling points. The solution can scale.

I don't really have a complaint about the features that the solution has.

It can be a bit expensive, however, it's not as expensive as Meraki switches.

The user interface, the UI, could be better.

Going command mode to make hardcore changes to the config. It's not so futuristic environment for configuration purposes.

While you can scale the solution, it can get expensive.

We've been using the solution for quite a while now. We've used them for at least four or five years at this point.

The solution is extremely stable. We never have issues with it. It doesn't have any underlying issues and is quite reliable.

While the solution can scale, it's a costly endeavor. Scaling definitely will cost an organization more money.

We have about 60 or 70 users of the product within our organization.

While we've occasionally had issues with the solution, we've never actually reached out to technical support. Therefore I can't speak to their responsiveness or knowledgability.

We've always used Ciscos switches of one kind or another. We've never used another brand. We're currently planning to change to Cisco Meraki switches. We haven't yet configured them, however. We're going to use it with a Palo Alto Firewall.

The initial setup was not complex at all. It was extremely straightforward. That said, our setup required a very minimal configuration, and therefore it didn't take up much time. The deployment took maybe half an hour or so.

I handled the implementation myself. I didn't need help from consultants or integrators.

While normal switches are not too expensive, Meraki switches are pricier.

We're just customers and end-users. We don't have any business relationship with Cisco.

It's my understanding that we are not using the latest version of the switches.

I'd recommend the solution to other organizations.

I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been largely pretty satisfied with the solution.

Our datacenter is built using Cisco switches. We use Cisco products for wireless access, routing, and switching.

Cisco switches have helped our organization through good connectivity speeds and stability. In particular, it has improved our wireless capabilities.

The most valuable feature is the after-sales support. I like their after-sales support more than anything because it's very good.

The sales experience was good because we deal with Cisco directly and then buy through the partners. It means that we developed a close relationship with Cisco in the process.

Cisco has been adding things on top of their devices, like DNA, which makes managing them very easy.

For people who are new, the interface can be confusing. For me, however, I don't think that there's anything that can be simplified because I'm used to the command line and the old way of working with Cisco switches. I find them simple.

We have been using Cisco Ethernet Switches for between 15 and 16 years, since 2004.

This is a very stable product that we have barely had issues with.

This is a very scalable solution. When we started, we didn't have enough switches and other equipment. One of the beauties is that when we add new technologies or buy new switches, it scales.

We are in a university setting and there are new students every year, so we always have to connect more people to our network. It is definitely scalable and we plan to increase our usage in the future.

The technical support is very good.

I have worked with products from Juniper, HP, and many other vendors that have switching products. Cisco is the best, not necessarily the team, but the after-sale support.

In some places I have been, they were using other brands. Based on their experience after I introduced them to Cisco, they stuck with it because of the support.

I completed the Cisco training in 2008 and from there, the initial setup was simple.

Cisco products are not cheap, which is something that can be improved.

There used to be a problem with programmability, but with the release of the new switches, I don't think that there's anything that needs to be added.

I would recommend them any day.

My advice for anybody who is considering this type of product is that when you buy a Cisco device, you don't just buy the device but the whole organization. Cisco will get people to assist you when you've got an issue, and they will make sure that you get that support. They have the best after-sales support that I have ever worked with.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

We are a GSM mobile network operator and we use the solution for internet data.

Cisco is a large company and their product is very good with high quality. The features and customer support are good. 

In the future, some of the features could be updated to support the latest functions.

I have been using the solution for approximately ten years.

The product is really stable we have not had a problem in the ten years we have been using it.

We have found it to be scalable. We have approximately three million subscribers.

We have 20 internal engineers that do all the installation, configuration and aftercare of the product. 

It is an expensive product.

If there is another product cheaper than Ciscos and runs just as well we would switch but currently, we are satisfied.

I would recommend the solution to others.

I rate Cisco Ethernet Switches a seven out of ten.

We are using the solution for LAN routing in both manufacturing industries and IT sectors. We use a variety of different models of the solution. We have used the 4000, 9000, 9200, and 9400 Series switches. Currently, we are deploying the 9000 Series to customers at data centers and when it comes to core switches at data centers we are using the 9400 model.

There are some GUI configuration improvements that they can implement in the future for the product models.

I have been using the solution for over forteen years.

We have found the solution to be stable.

The solution is scalable. We have deployed more than 1000 switches to customers.

We provide support for the client. 

We do the deployment of the solution using a team of approximately five people. The time it takes to do the deployment all depends on the client's requirements. The range of time it can take varies depending on the design and architecture involved.

There are different licensing based on the model of the solution.

We only deal with Cisco products, they are very good.

I rate Cisco Ethernet Switches a ten out of ten.

How we use Cisco Ethernet Switches depends on the customer's requirements. We just connected Alliance switches with trans 2/4 switches in our office, and we have deployed it as a static configuration. We are not planning any other protocol for the permission and the configuration we aren't using. But for our customers, we go with the VMA architecture, networking, and Cloud Meraki and Experian from Cisco.

I think the VMA architecture is valuable. 

I don't have any issues on the technical aspects, but on the business side of things, I see that almost all the Catalyst and high-grade switches are now required to have a VMA license. Sometimes businesses may not require those licenses because they are just using them as the third street. 

It's a business challenge which we're facing in the Asian countries. Customers don't require a VMA environment at the moment, but it's essential to purchase a VMA license for some of the switches. It's a challenge that we're facing during sales or presales because when it comes to the competition like Cisco SSL and the others, they don't have that kind of a restriction.

If I would like to purchase a new switch, it can be a higher-end switch like a Chassis switch or a basic L2 or L3 switch—any switch where we can purchase a support bundle and install and use it. But with the VMA  license, we need to activate the license, or the Ethernet switch will not perform. It won't work.

If Cisco Ethernet Switches can work both on-prem and in the cloud, it would be an advantage. Other vendors are already offering this option. It would be a great added advantage to use the same switch in standalone mode, as a local MM or VMA, and for cloud control.

I have been working with Cisco Ethernet Switches for about 12 years. 

In my experience, Cisco Ethernet Switches are stable.

In my experience, Cisco Ethernet Switches are scalable.

Cisco Ethernet Switches come with good technical support. But sometimes we get engineers who aren't as knowledgeable, but we can speak to them and fix a problem within a couple of hours.

The initial setup of Cisco Ethernet Switches is very straightforward in my experience.
It's quite easy. But I think it depends on the knowledge and experience of the engineer.

We don't conduct any annual maintenance, but it's probably best to do it annually.

I would recommend Cisco Ethernet Switches to others.

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

We use these switches as part of our data center infrastructure.

These switches are stable and they have a good replacement service.

The support is good.

The procedures and handling of these switches are easy. Anything that you need to know is available in a Google search, or from the technical support.

The initial setup can be simplified.

We have been using Cisco Ethernet Switches for approximately 10 years.

Stability is one of the key features of this product.

We are using the Cisco 4503-E and these switches are very scalable. There are some models that have plenty of ports.

Users do not connect directly to this switch. Rather, only servers are connected and we have perhaps 20 of them.

We also have experience with HPE switches. The HPE switches are okay, but Cisco is the best when it comes to things like the CLI. I prefer them.

Juniper is also a good company and they have good switches.

Cisco Switches are the best and I recommend them.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
