Cisco Ethernet Switches Reviews

We use the Cisco 9200 and 2960 Ethernet Switches to connect our devices to the network.

Remote access is a valuable feature.

Cisco can improve its supply chain. Currently, we have to wait up to eight months for a switch.

I have been using the solution for four years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. We have 1,000 people using the solution.

The technical support is quick to respond.

The initial setup is straightforward and easy to deploy.

I give the solution a nine out of ten.

We have been utilizing Cisco Ethernet Switches to establish networks tailored to the customer's needs. For instance, if they want to set up a network for their office or personal use, but not for large corporations. I am not as proficient or experienced with implementing it for large enterprises.

Cisco Ethernet Switches have a lot of valuable features. One that stands out to me is its ease of implementation.

The ease of use of Cisco Ethernet Switches could improve. It is different to use them if you do not have prior knowledge.

I have been using Cisco Ethernet Switches for approximately six months.

The stability of Cisco Ethernet Switches is great. Once we did have a problem Cisco was quick and fast to solve it.

The support was quick to solve one of the issues we were having with stability.

The initial setup of Cisco Ethernet Switches can be simple, but it does require some level of experience and certification. Once you have that, it's easy to apply all your knowledge and scripts to real-world scenarios.

The deployment took some time because we had to configure each one individually and troubleshoot any issues that arose. Once we were able to successfully ping the last router and access the internet, we were finished. However, some of our trouble may have been due to our lack of experience and professionalism as some of my colleagues who work with Cisco and other solutions did not have as much difficulty. It ultimately depends on how much hands-on experience you have with the products.

I rate the initial setup of Cisco Ethernet Switches a seven out of ten.

The solution has different prices depending on the features that you want to have.

I would recommend Cisco Ethernet Switches for those who have prior knowledge because they can be difficult to use.

I rate Cisco Ethernet Switches a nine out of ten.

 Cisco Ethernet Switches are used for directing network traffic.

One of the most valuable aspects of Cisco Ethernet Switches is many engineers can work on the equipment. You can find qualified engineers that can configure Cisco equipment more than any other networking equipment.

The ease of use and features sets are very good in Cisco Ethernet Switches.

I have been using Cisco Ethernet Switches for approximately 20 years.

The stability of Cisco Ethernet Switches is very good.

The support from Cisco is great. We have trained engineers working and when we need to speak to the technical support of Cisco, it is only because we see there are some errors in the software that we cannot solve ourselves. 

I would rate the support from Cisco Ethernet Switches a four out of five.

The implementation of Cisco Ethernet Switches is a straightforward process.  We're a partner for Cisco via the machine-building program, we integrate ourselves together with those solutions.

I would rate the implementation process of Cisco Ethernet Switches a four out of five.

They have changed over the years and now you need to purchase a three-year obligatory license and then after three years, you are free to use it or not. The model is a bit difficult for customers. This is why we have been shifting away from Cisco equipment.

The price of hardware replacements can be expensive.

I would rate the price of Cisco Ethernet Switches a two out of five.

When we compare Cisco Ethernet Switches to other solutions it comes down to what you need to purchase besides the hardware. Cisco Ethernet Switches' main issue is not with the hardware, but with the software and support that might not be needed.

My advice to others looking to purchases Cisco Ethernet Switches is you pay perhaps a little bit more on the equipment, but there are available engineers to help with the programming, set up, and implementation of the switches. This makes it worthwhile to choose Cisco. If you perhaps have cheap equipment, but if you don't have the people that know how to configure it, do troubleshooting, or analysis, you cannot move forward. 

The equipment might be more expensive, but when you take total ownership of the configuration, maintenance, and analysis, then it's a large benefit. Sometimes customers see only the first cost of the switches and don't look any further. This is a weak point of Cisco.

I rate Cisco Ethernet Switches an eight out of ten.

We are a GSM mobile network operator and we use the solution for internet data.

Cisco is a large company and their product is very good with high quality. The features and customer support are good. 

In the future, some of the features could be updated to support the latest functions.

I have been using the solution for approximately ten years.

The product is really stable we have not had a problem in the ten years we have been using it.

We have found it to be scalable. We have approximately three million subscribers.

We have 20 internal engineers that do all the installation, configuration and aftercare of the product. 

It is an expensive product.

If there is another product cheaper than Ciscos and runs just as well we would switch but currently, we are satisfied.

I would recommend the solution to others.

I rate Cisco Ethernet Switches a seven out of ten.

Our clients use this solution for monitoring and configuration purposes.

The deployment model varies from client to client.

The dashboard needs some minor improvements. Sometimes it is difficult to find items, other times it is quick, it just depends. Most of the feedback we receive are not complaints but suggestions or ideas about the dashboard.

The stability could be improved.

We have some glitches once in a while. There are times where it's a little bit slow or a bit delayed.

We have not had to scale yet, we are normally working with a fixed size. We haven't had to worry about upsizing or downsizing.

For our purposes, we are not using this, but on the client-side, we have anywhere from two to eight users, they are made up of technicians, support staff, and engineers.

For me, the initial setup was easy and straightforward, but for some of our customers who are not as familiar with networking, it can be complicated.

For a technical person, it is straightforward. Of course, now and then you have to look in the manual and read it, as nothing is completely self intuitive.

Deployment can take anywhere from one to five days, depending on the requirements.

We require two employees for deployments.

We implement this solution ourselves.

There is no favorite function or feature, it depends on what you have to do and how you do it.

My advice regarding this solution is to understand your network, definitely have a look in the manual, understand the structure and don't just rely on trial and error. It's not target-aiming, so trial and error will not work.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

• Collecting Clients in the floors.
• Concentrate distribution and to forward over routers to other parts.
• Fiber and copper ports with enhanced power over Ethernet and stacks.
• NM-modules with 10G

• Good and stable operational experience with nearly no loss of hardware and very few software bugs.
• Plug and play works now.
• DNA is a very good way to do the configuration of all the equipment.

DNA Center is very interesting in automating the setup and monitoring as with each occurrence it gets easier to troubleshoot and provides an impression about what could be the problem.

Location of customers to connect clients to the servers and transport the data and VoIP in parallel with QoS and NBAR with 802.1X.

Cisco Ethernet Switches are used in a network as a relay.

The most valuable feature is the simplicity of the central management system(CMS).

I have been using Cisco Ethernet Switches for approximately 20 years.

The stability is the main reason why I used the solution. It is highly stable.

Cisco Ethernet Switches can be scaled up.

We are not using this solution extensively, it is not our main solution.

The technical support could improve, they are about average quality.

Cisco Ethernet Switches are easy to deploy and set up. It takes approximately 30 minutes to do the process.

We have our own team for the implementation.

The cost of the solution is by unit.

I rate Cisco Ethernet Switches a seven out of ten.

I am using it for core data infrastructure. I am using model 9600. 

Its performance and reliability are valuable.

Its management should be improved. 

It is not easy to scale.

I have been using this solution for seven years.

It is stable.

It is not easy to scale. We have between 1,000 to 2,000 users.

I have not interacted with them. We have a contractor for support.

We also have Surecom and NETGEAR, but Cisco comes under a different class. They differ in price. Cisco is the best for our company. 

Its initial setup is simple. The deployment duration can take 10 to 30 minutes depending on the model.

We deployed it internally.

It is expensive. There are additional costs besides the license cost.

I would recommend it for its features and reliability. I would rate it an eight out of 10.
