We use Cisco Catalyst Switches to connect devices to a network.

I have been using Cisco Catalyst Switches for approximately 10 years.

The solution was stable 10 years ago, there is room for improvement in this area.

The solution highly scalable.

We have approximately 650 users using this solution in my organization.

The technical support experience has been mixed, it depends on the subject. There are occasions when we have a quick resolution and for others, there can be long discussions to receive a resolution.

The installation was not difficult for me but I have been working with these types of solutions for a long time. It could be difficult for those with limited experience.

We have a team of 10 engineers that do the implementation and maintenance of the solutions.

The cost of this solution could be less expensive, and we are on an annual license.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Cisco Catalyst Switches an eight out of ten.

The technical support from Cisco is very good.

The installation is easy if you understand the Ciscos CLA interface and your infrastructure is correct.

We have CCNA and CCNP certified engineers that do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

The price of a Cisco Catalyst Switches license is expensive. 

There is a big problem with their pricing structure. For example, there is a system called first come first serve metric for integrators. The person who logs the case gets a better price than what I receive. They give discounts to other people, such as those with certifications, and what happens is people go away from this solution because of it. I do not receive a better price which puts me in a position to promote other solutions. 

I lost a large contact because of their pricing structure. Cisco should give the same pricing to everybody.
