We seldom need to reboot them unless there's a bug or it was deployed in an improper environment
Our setups are simple, but it depends on the complexity of the client's infrastructure and requirements. I'm more on the operations side, so everything is already deployed, but when we build a new network, I am involved in configuring the new switches. When we do an RMA for a faulty device, I configure it. It's usually a copy-paste of the configuration, but I can build the design from scratch. The number of people required for deployment and maintenance depends on the size of the environment. A data center usually needs about five or six people to maintain it. You have two people on 12-hour shifts; the rest are senior staff.

Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
Our primary use case is for internal network distribution and for supplying voiceover IP. It depends on customer requirements but usually it's easier to set up voiceover IP, ePoE from the switch. The routers, such as XWR-3150, can support two different location access points, which is very…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Good and stable operational experience with nearly no loss of hardware and very few software bugs."
"The most valuable feature is that we create a network as a villain."
"We like the stability and scalability of Cisco Ethernet Switches."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the performance of the product."
"I'm satisfied with Cisco switches. It's stable and beautiful."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches are stable."
"Remote access is a valuable feature."
"Technical support is excellent. They are very helpful."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
 

Cons

"The initial setup can be simplified."
"There are some GUI configuration improvements that they can implement in the future for the product models."
"The quality of Cisco Ethernet Switches could be better."
"Cisco's pricing can be a concern, particularly with support fees."
"They need to offer free replacements until the end of life for devices."
"Their firmware could be better secured against vulnerabilities or other exploits. Also, only selected catalyst switches are allowed to onboard to Cisco SD Access technology."
"Technical support could be better. Firmware upgrades should be better. We have an issue with upgrading the firmware. It's not upgradable. I think it should be easy to improve and upgrade the firmware."
"The product could improve in the area of simulated switches."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Not inexpensive. Price will vary widely depending on the chosen product and size of the deployment."
"In addition to the fees being high, you pay for support which is also on the higher side."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches are more expensive than Huawei Ethernet Switches."
"It is an expensive product since it is used in a large network where you cannot rely on some cheaply priced solution."
"Cisco is quite expensive. In our market, a lot of customers are forced to go with something else because they cannot afford a brand-new Cisco even though they know a Cisco switch will be more reliable."
"The pricing is reasonable so I rate it a six out of ten."
"The price of Cisco Ethernet Switches is expensive."
"With all of the features and when you compare with other solutions, the cost is much less."
"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."

Benefits of Juniper vs Cisco
Both are decent products. I prefer Juniper for the following reasons: 1) Cleaner separation of data plane from control plane. Higher end Cisco devices are better at this but most of the lower end products still seem to be more integrated than I like. 2) The Hierarchical config design means I can…
