Cisco performs well in the network space, especially in areas like switching, DNA Center, and wireless, where it is known for its stability.
Cisco Catalyst Center integrates with robust hardware and platforms, offering scalability, advanced security, and reliable performance. While it effectively manages Catalyst 9000 series with a DNA license, the deployment process is complex due to proprietary protocols. It stands out with industry-standard features and analytics yet is costly with numerous licenses. Frequent software bugs and a limited data retention period of seven days necessitate patches, impacting its competitive positioning in networking solutions.
