Cisco Ethernet Switches Reviews

I use this solution as a network switch and I provide service to the switches to my customers.

The main features of this solution are performance and ease of use.

I have been using this solution for approximately 20 years.

I have some clients with approximately 1,600 users using the solution.

The installation is straightforward. You can configure most switches in approximately 45 minutes.

I have done many implementations of the solution. We have an engineer and a technician that does the maintenance for this solution.  

There is a license required for this solution and the price could be better.

I rate Cisco Ethernet Switches a seven out of ten.

They are used as the access and core switches in our network.

We like the stability and scalability of Cisco Ethernet Switches.

I think the price should be cheaper to be able to afford more.

We have been using Cisco Ethernet Switches for a couple of years.

I have not had any experience with Cisco's technical support but I have heard they are very good.

From what I know they are easy to deploy for those who know what they are doing but I have not done so.

We had them installed for us.

We think the pricing could be cheaper for these switches and that would be a reason we would consider looking at another vendor.

I would recommend Cisco Ethernet switches based on our experience with the stability of the product.

We are system integrators. We deal with Cisco solutions for our customers in data centers, enterprise networks, and Service Cloud networks.

Cisco's support is number one in the world. 

It is very stable. 

As a company, they have a very good reputation. They invest a lot in research, and they come up with new solutions, new technologies, and new products.

The price could be improved by being reduced.

The new software has been released in Cisco Switches, which is meeting with the market's demands. Earlier they used to have many different models.

This solution is still lacking in some areas.

I have been working with Cisco Ethernet Switches since 2000. Twenty years now.

Within the twenty years, we have had many issues. There could be a data error, there could be a software bug or hardware failure. It happens, it's a machine.

Cisco's technical support is very good.

The initial setup is very easy. It's not complex.

They have a very good website. If you get stuck, you can go to the website to get a solution. That's the beauty of Cisco products, everything is available on the website.

The price is a bit on the high side.

Normally what they do is go case by case and give discounts based on the customer's budget, and on the competition.

For anyone who is interested in using switches, I would definitely recommend Cisco. They are pioneers in the industry and you can find Cisco engineers anywhere.

Nowadays, everything is fine. They are good, and they move forward with the latest technologies. They are always ahead of their competitors. I feel that now they are on the right track and I don't see any issues.

Customers always choose Cisco.

I would rate Cisco Ethernet Switches a nine out of ten.

We primarily use this solution to connect networks and devices.

What I like most about this product is redundancy like Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) or resilience protocol so the datacenter continues to function when there is some level of failure.

What I would improve in this product is simulation. You can simulate switches, but you cannot really simulate industrial Cisco switches. The ability to use industrial switches is missing and I would like to see compatibility with industrial switches.

I would like to see an updated feature search toolkit. The ability to look for certain features and select the features that you want or need would help to target desired results and workflow. To know what a tool is able to provide for you and the devices that can be used with those features would make research and configuration a lot easier.

This product is stable. I have seen no bugs, glitches, or crashes. It is absolutely dependable and was designed to be that way.

I think this product is extremely scalable. I am fairly sure everyone in the world who's working with a computer is using it. Even you — whomever you are, and whether you know it or not.

I have had the opportunity to use Cisco's support for this product. If I were to rate them on a scale of one to ten with ten being the best (and separately from the product itself), I would give them a six. On some days they take and answer a question easily and they are a ten, and other days they take too long to answer or give the wrong solution. More times they are better, so that makes them a six.

Previously we used solutions from HP, MicroTech, and Dell. You name a popular product and we have some familiarity with it. We chose Cisco because we believe it is the best option.

The initial setup of this product is straightforward.

The deployment time will depend entirely on the size of the project and the plan for what needs to be accomplished.

The pricing varies widely depending on the support contract term and the type and number of the devices. The product is on the expensive side.

We evaluated other options through our past experiences.

Advice that I would give companies considering this solution is that you need to do your research, find the correct model for your needs and size the deployment correctly. If you don't think first you can pay too much and have more than you need or pay too little and not meet your needs.

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate this product as an eight. It cannot be higher than that because of the pricing.

We work for our customers. Our clients are small, medium, and enterprise companies.

The brand name and the service support by Cisco are most valuable.

In terms of features, all features are there. I can't find anything new that needs to be added. Its price, however, is a bit higher than other brands and can be improved.

I have been using this solution for 20 years.

Their technical support is very good.

I have been working for 20 years, so I find it easy.

Its price is a bit higher than other brands. Indian customers are price-conscious. They should improve its price.

It is the best product. I would advise others to go for it. All the features are there. In other switches, some features are missing, but Cisco provides all the required features.

I would rate Cisco Ethernet Switches a 10 out of 10. 

We are using the solution for LAN routing in both manufacturing industries and IT sectors. We use a variety of different models of the solution. We have used the 4000, 9000, 9200, and 9400 Series switches. Currently, we are deploying the 9000 Series to customers at data centers and when it comes to core switches at data centers we are using the 9400 model.

There are some GUI configuration improvements that they can implement in the future for the product models.

I have been using the solution for over forteen years.

We have found the solution to be stable.

The solution is scalable. We have deployed more than 1000 switches to customers.

We provide support for the client. 

We do the deployment of the solution using a team of approximately five people. The time it takes to do the deployment all depends on the client's requirements. The range of time it can take varies depending on the design and architecture involved.

There are different licensing based on the model of the solution.

We only deal with Cisco products, they are very good.

I rate Cisco Ethernet Switches a ten out of ten.

My primary use case is in a balance network across my company.

These switches are very reliable in the long term, so we don't have to worry about failures.

I've been using this solution for thirty-one years.

This is a very stable solution with a very low failure rate - only about one in a hundred of these switches will fail over a ten-year period.

I haven't had any issues with Cisco technical support.

I have previously used D-Link but remained with Cisco due to its reliability.

The initial setup was straightforward.

Because the failure rate is so low and the product lasts for so long, the ROI is high.

Cisco switches are very highly-priced in comparison to other similar products.

There is no better product than this for use in harsh environments. I would rate this solution as nine out of ten.
