We performed a comparison between Cisco Catalyst Switches and Luxul Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The Cisco Catalyst is very stable and it can last for many years."
"Catalyst switches are our dedicated solution for connecting everything into one big domain."
"Overall top of the line solution."
"It is a pretty good product. I don't see a problem with this product. Cisco Catalyst Switches fit the best for the type of systems that we deploy. Our customers usually are happy with Cisco equipment. Many partners and third parties have ordered this solution."
"Since Cisco Catalyst Switches don't go online, they are secured."
"The 802.1X port security and other security features work well and help keep the network secure."
"The CLI is pretty much the same across all switching and routing platforms from Cisco, making deployment of new switches, replacement of damaged equipment, or upgrades to newer platforms very easy."
"The Cisco software ties all the hardware together better than the competition."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The solution offers a bit of complexity and you need a specialized workforce."
"All other modules have comparatively many more functions or power than regular Catalyst switches."
"They need to implement sFlow."
"It is kind of expensive."
"The solution could improve by having a video IP feature."
"Dell switching is coming up with a solution where you can put your own OS inside their switching infra. That is where they are talking about open networking. We can show that our Cisco is also an open-source. We are open to different switching operating systems if the customer is willing to put it in. We can support multiple operating systems inside the switching infrastructure. It removes the hardware and software dependency on each other. That is where I think there can be room for improvement. Then we can talk about open networking and that is where Cisco can also come up with open networking access."
"Services should be improved."
"The licensing process should be back to how it was before. Now, you have to register online, and it makes staging a bit trickier."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
