Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches Reviews

We connect our Ethernet switches directly via LAN or with printers at every endpoint for user connectivity.

We are satisfied with the Cisco devices' scalability, and the integration and replacement are very easy. Their support is available online.

Some experts say that the price may be lower or that the ethernet switches are complex to set up and manage, maybe because of limited port density, supports, and quality of service, like capabilities. So that could be improved.

In the next release, Cisco switches can have built-in two or four fiber ports available for fiber connectivity.

I have been using it for 20 years.

It is very stable. Performance is very good.

It is a scalable solution. I would rate it an eight out of ten.

The customer support team is good.

Positive

The initial setup was straightforward. I would rate the setup an eight out of ten.

When we deploy anything, we rely on support from the product vendor or partner who sold them the product. The support available from the vendor or partner made it easy to deploy anything. They provided assistance with configuration and deployment.

Cisco's pricing is very high compared to other products on the market, such as Ruckus and Aruba.

I would give the pricing a rating of nine out of ten. Cisco's pricing is relatively high but still somewhat reasonable.

If someone wants long-term performance or relief in terms of connectivity or stability, they must use Cisco.

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

We deploy our internal applications on our DC setup. 

The reliability is the best feature. 

The price of the solution should be lower and it should have better security and scalability. 

An alternate solution boasting the same scalability and security as Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches, but carrying a lower price tag, would be more attractive. 

We have been using Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for almost six years.

The solution is stable and reliable.

The solution is sufficiently scalable, although this could stand improvement.

For the moment, we have encountered no issues requiring technical support. We did have one issue in the past, but found it to be good at the time. 

We did not use other solutions prior to going with Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. 

The installation was easy, although I don't know how long it lasted, as the team handled it. 

We used a consultant for the deployment.

This deployment comprised a technical team of around 20 or 25 people, consisting of engineers, managers and administrators. 

The solution should be better priced. 

It has a yearly licensing subscription. 

Our organization has approximately 10,000 users who are making use of the solution.

I would recommend this solution to others. 

I rate Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches as a nine out of ten.

We are an IT company and we configure these switches for our clients. The environment varies depending on the client and their requirements.

The most valuable features are virtualization and micro-segmentation.

The user interface needs a lot of improvement.

The enterprise-level and data center products need to be improved.

The command-line interface could be more user-friendly.

I have been working with Linksys Ethernet switches for the past 14 years.

Linksys switches are pretty stable.

With respect to scalability, some features such as stacking are missing. Linksys has to work on this technology, especially for a scalable stack. This product is best suited to home users and small offices.

I have never had to contact technical support directly. I have been able to configure these devices using the administration guide.

I have worked with multiple switches from multiple vendors. These include Cisco enterprise-level switches like the Catalyst and the 6500 series. I have worked with Acer routers, HP enterprise-level switches, Dell S-series and N-series, Juniper's MX series routers and EX series switches, and Huawei's S-Series switches and NE-Series routers.

This product is very easy to deploy and any home user can do it. For the typical home user, I don't think that it would take more than a day to set up and deploy.

The price of Linksys products is pretty reasonable.

My advice for anybody who is considering this product is that it is well-suited for home uses and small businesses. My only complaints are about the user interface and the stacking capabilities.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for Wi-Fi connectivity.

The platform has not improved network performance enough. We encounter issues related to internet connectivity and random disconnection.

Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches’s stability and pricing needs improvement.

It is a reliable product. However, after six months, we came across internet connectivity issues. I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

We have 60 Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches users in our organization. It is a scalable platform.

The initial setup is easy. It takes around 15 minutes or a maximum of half an hour to complete.

I implement the product by referring to the documentation available on the internet in case of any technical errors.

The product is expensive.

I rate the product an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for the WiFi and the wireless. We use it as a switch. It can help with encryption and networking.

Since I am a certified user, I find the solution to be very smooth. It works very well. The solution offers good training so that users can remain up-to-date with the product.

The product offers a very professional experience. 

It helps us ensure we have wireless access points. 

I'm able to easily manage the solution. I can configure and monitor everything very easily.

It's a well-recognized brand and is widely used.

The solution is stable.

It is scalable.

Cisco offers very good SLAs.

We've had some issues as we've increased usage. It might be the logic or maybe we just need more hardware. We're working on a fix to the problem.

The pricing is a bit high.

They need to develop better UI. Other products have a nice GUI.

I've used the solution over the last ten years.

This is a stable solution. It's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We find the solution is also very secure. 

The solution scales well. It's not a problem if you need to expand. 

We have an SLA with Cisco, and they offer support and maintenance services. If you have a good SLA in place with Cisco, you get the help you need. Having the SLA helps cover the warranty or if something happens like a misconfiguration or a change. Overall, the support is good. 

I'm also familiar with Aruba.

The initial setup is very easy. We just follow the steps and handle the configuration. We also do any troubleshooting if there is any issue.

If the user wants another configuration, you adjust as needed. 

It is not difficult to maintain the product at all. If there are any urgent issues, we're on top of it. We make sure we can fix network issues quickly, should they happen, in order to maintain the business. 

I happen to have good SLAs for other problems and they cover things from the Cisco side.

The solution can be expensive. 

We have plans to upgrade our switches and are moving everything over to Cisco.

We're using the latest version of the product.

I have a deep knowledge of Cisco and have worked with it for a while. It doesn't really give us any issues. It's easy to integrate with devices. Many companies tend to use Cisco.

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

We primarily use it for running our manufacturing operation.

Regarding improving our organization's functioning, the security provided by the solution can be considered an example.

I found the feature of having no downtime to be the most valuable aspect of the tool.

Right now, there aren't any improvements needed in the solution.

Feature-wise, there are no features that I would like to see included in the tool.

I would say it's been more than ten years that I've been dealing with Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. It was version 9300, which I was using.

Speaking in terms of how it has improved the way our organization functions, we have experienced improved stability.

I have faced no issues with the stability of the solution.

Scalability-wise, the solution is good. On a scale of one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I rate the tool's scalability as seven since there are some limitations. Also, around a thousand users use Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches in our organization.

I haven't had any need to escalate any questions to the technical support team recently.

The initial setup of the tool was easy.

On a scale of one to ten, where one is the worst and ten is the easiest, I rate my experience with the initial setup as a nine.

When deploying the switches, the basic steps involved getting the architecture done and then deploying it. It was a lengthy process and took around three to six months.

We did not require a lot of staff members or resources for the deployment process. Also, the tool does not require any specific maintenance.

We have Accenture as our global partner, who handles the deployment process for us. They are the ones who do it for us.

For ROI, we generally recover it in seven years.

I cannot give any advice or recommendation for those who want to start working with Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. I also won't be able to recommend it to others. However, while I personally recommend this solution, I cannot publicly recommend it to anyone.

I rate Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches a nine out of ten.

The solution is used to connect to the local area network for the server room to connect our different floors, and levels, to interconnect all the users from different locations within the campus.

The most valuable feature is performance.

The solution's support can use improvement because they are not very good at following up. A reduction in cost can improve the solution. 

I have been using the solution for over one year.

The stability should be fine because I'm using Cisco, and I think I have no problem with that.

The solution is scalable.

Whenever we raise tickets we never receive further feedback or callbacks.

Neutral

We have always used Cisco products.

The initial setup is straightforward. 

Normally, we have a face-to-face implementation, so it could last three to six months for the implementation because there are a lot of teams involved, including security, and application.

The deployment was completed in-house.

I give the solution a seven out of ten.

We currently have 300 people using the solution and will probably be increasing that number in the near future.

We have 46 members on our technical team.

The solution lets me connect to so many hosts and the downtime is very, very minimal.

What I like most about the product is basically the user support. Sometimes, I'd get stuck on something, and I could contact customer support. They're always there to assist me with my issues.

The initial setup was straightforward. 

Technical support is good.

The solution is stable.

You can scale the product as needed. 

The costs are a little bit high. 

They could work on the pricing and make it more affordable for everyone.

If possible, they could have a good customer care system. For example, on a website, I can see issues that have already been raised before. Sometimes I've had an issue, however, it's already been solved, yet I can't find the solution to my problem easily. It should be published and readily available to users. 

I've been working with the solution for four months. 

The stability is okay. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It is reliable.

The product can be scalable. It's very, very scalable.

We have about 120 people using the solution right now.

We plan to increase usage as we add more employees. 

Technical support has been okay. 

Positive

We've always used Cisco switches. We have not used anything else. 

The solution's implementation is pretty straightforward and simple. It's not overly complex. 

Since we were doing it for an entire office, an entire building, it took us a whole week to get everything up and running.

I'd rate the entire process a four out of five in terms of ease of setup. 

We have ten technical people that can handle the deployment and maintenance of the solution. We have developers, engineers, and cyber security experts as well as regular IT experts available. 

We handled the implementation ourselves in-house. We did not have the help of any consultants or integrators. 

We have witnessed an ROI with this solution. 

The pricing is a little bit expensive. However, it does offer a good value for money. I'd rate it a three out of five in terms of affordability.

I am an end-user. I'm using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd advise potential users to just go for it. They will not be disappointed in this product. 

I would rate the product an eight out of ten.
