Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches Reviews

The primary use case of this solution is for the core and distribution layers.

It's used for normal switching and access. We are only using it with the data center model to have a distribution layer, core layer, and access layer.

Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches are pretty good overall.

There is a lot of competition between Cisco, Juniper, and other switches such as Extreme. Our IT team is comfortable with Cisco switches, but the only problem is that there are many different versions of software that can be used across different platforms of Cisco, and normally with other vendors, we have a unified software that is running across different platforms, but Cisco does not.

We are expecting one software that can run across all of Cisco hardware, software, and Cisco Switch router, similar to what Juniper has. 

They are stable, but not as good as Juniper, they could be improved.

We have been working with Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for more than 15 years.

Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches are stable, but if you are comparing with Juniper, from the routers and switches, Juniper is more stable.

It's a scalable product. In our organization, we have approximately 50 people using it.

We plan to continue using Cisco switches and we are expanding every year.

We have diversity in our network. Usually, we have at least two vendors.

The initial setup was straightforward.

Deployment time depends on the criticality of the location we are installing these boxes. For example, if it is a greenfield, it can take one or two days, and it is a capital location such as a data center it can take some time for measuring and configuration from the old networks to the new network, which would take two or three weeks.

We have a team of many experts who work here.

The deployment team is made up of an engineering team and a deployment team. Also, we have a rollout team for stacking and racking who are technicians.

We did not use a vendor or reseller. We use our experts in our network who have excellent experience with every Cisco product.

I would recommend Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for anyone who is interested in using this solution.

I would rate Cisco switches a seven out of ten.

I have used it with multiple clients. I have used Linksys Switches for Ethernet in Hotel Regency located in Pakistan, which utilises Linksys switches across its three floors and approximately twenty rooms and Ramada Portal, a four-star hotel, which also employs Cisco switches. 
The Linksys Switches offer simplified network management and scalability. These switches can be easily managed with basic networking knowledge without requiring CCNA level expertise for Cisco.

In a previous use case, we deployed Linksys Switches for blocking unwanted signals within a premises with the help of their clean air technology. This was one of the notable advantages of Linksys Switches over Cisco. For SMBs, Cisco and D-Link are a better option. In terms of enterprise-level companies, Cisco is preferred due to its optimisation quality during high traffic. There are many valuable features of Linksys Switches which include speed support and manageability. This makes them comparative with local brands and also much secure due to its security features. In terms of reliability and time, Cisco still ranks higher than its' competitors.

The additional features which I would like to suggest is to implement the user friendly GUI for easier network management. It should also have the functions of automating the firmware upgrade process, thus eliminating the need for technical expertise. Apart from this, I cannot pinpoint any other features that I am missing in the current model.

I have been using Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for the past 3 to 4 years.

For the price that we pay, it is a stable solution in terms of performance. 

It is a scalable solution.

We are offering the support ourselves because we have engineers at different levels for handling various tasks. Level 1 engineer handles simple installations and configurations on site. Level 2 engineers manage more complex setups. Level 3 engineers work on the issues involving routers, VLANs, and terminals. The support also depends on the client's needs. Enterprise level plans might need configuration assistance. We also arrange for parts locally, as well as through import whenever there is a need for one.

The setup process or configuring access points include two types of devices. One of them is a wireless LAN controller, and the other is a stand alone device. Setting up an access point with WLC is simpler because the controller handles the configurations. On the other hand, standalone devices require more manual configuration. 

It's our recommendation that training be provided by D-Link for engineers interested in deploying Linksys switches or routers. As for the overall rating, I would rate Cisco Linksys Ethernet switches a 9 out of 10.

Positive

I'm also aware of Juniper Switches and Brocade solutions. People are also beginning to use Huawei products. Huawei is much cheaper in terms of routing and switching.

It's a simple setup. Cisco is simple plug-and-play. Starting is easy. If you don't want any complexity, then you can simply opt for plug and play. 

If you want more complexity or more security, that's still quite simple. They have spent so much time and expertise in education. Cisco education is everywhere. It makes it so that people are aware of Cisco Control and Cisco Command Line. Many users feel comfortable with it. 

The price of Cisco options is quite high.

I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using. It might be version 10 or 11. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
