Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches Reviews

I primarily use the solution for configuring Linksys IDs with the lines on Linksys access points. I make a cluster for all access points of Linksys to control them from one master. 

It's very easy to configure URLs.

The stability of the solution needs improvement. There's a problem with disconnecting the network. I have to restart it and set it correctly again. After a while, it disconnects again and I have to report it once more.

The solution's framework and some of the techniques need improvement. I've been watching Aruba, and they have a lot of technologies within the access points. For example, it has a virtual controller to connect all Aruba switches. 

Sharing access, sharing Wi-Fi or access IDs would be great.

I've been using the solution for four years.

We've been satisfied with the level of stability of the solution.

The scalability is okay; it covers a large area. Right now, we have about 100 users connected to it.

Technical support has been okay.

We also use Aruba. We use both solutions consecutively.

For those with IT knowledge, the initial setup is easy. Those without IT knowledge will struggle quite a bit. Certain aspects like using an adapter to connect to the laptop and connect the IP and configure it will be difficult to learn. Deployment and proper configuration only take about 10-15 minutes for those that know what they are doing.

I handled the implementation myself.

I'd advise others to carefully read the datasheet of Linksys and all the tools. It's also a good idea to make a thorough analysis of the company so that you'll know what size you will use and which solution to work with. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We use the Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for small purposes, such as setting up our test environment and running our tests. They're getting data from our tests. We are a manufacturing company, so when we manufacture a product, we test it. This is done using small private networks, which is where we use the Linksys switches.

The most valuable features are uptime and stability. 

The manageability could be improved.

We have been using the Cisco Linksys 7000 series for about a year.

Stability is good for these switches.

We do not need scalability in the small, unmanaged, private networks that we use for testing. We have approximately 100 users in the company.

We do not contact technical support directly. Rather, it is through a vendor or the partner from whom we bought it.

We did not use another solution prior to Cisco.

The initial setup was straightforward.

Our deployment took approximately three hours.

We implemented this solution with our in-house team.

These switches are good and I don't really have any complaints. There are, however, some technical limitations.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use these switches only as access switches to connect end users. We mostly use Cisco for all of our infrastructure, so these switches are used everywhere as access switches.

They are good for connecting users. These switches are very stable. We have been using them for three years, and we haven't had any problems.

Having 48 POE ports is a very good feature

Their performance should be improved.

I have been using this solution for three years.

They are very stable. We had to do a restart once in six months or one year, but it's not a problem.

We only use them for connecting users. We have about 200 users.

I have opened a case with them for the FirePOWER services, not for Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches, and this is the first time that I haven't got a response. It has been a week since I've sent the request, which was just a question, but I haven't got any response so far. For the previous cases that I had with tech support, they were very quick.

We also use Cisco Catalyst Switches. Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches require a lot of work as compared to Cisco Catalyst Switches. Cisco Catalyst Switches are much better and more expensive than Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches.

If you have experience in working with Cisco solutions, the initial setup is easy. Otherwise, it may be complicated.

The deployment doesn't take a long time. We already have the guidelines, and we have been doing it and using Cisco for a long time. It usually takes a maximum of one hour to configure the switches. Two people will be enough for deploying these switches.

They are cheaper than Cisco Catalyst Switches.

I would recommend these switches to others. We plan to keep using them.

I would rate Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches a seven out of ten. We are happy with them.

I use Cisco Linksys to deploy wireless networking. It can act as a router and an access point depending on your configuration. We use it in three locations, serving up to 60 people.

Cisco Linksys could be more secure. It could also add a controller to control all the devices, like the access points and so on.

I've been using Cisco Linksys Switches for four years, actively.

 Cisco Linksys is quite stable and robust.

Cisco Linksys is scalable. You can use it as an extender, too.

I've not had any issues that required me to contact technical support.

I would rate it nine out 10.

We use these switches to extend our network.

The most valuable feature is that we can configure the security to suit our needs.

This product is easy to manage and can be adapted to different networks.

These switches effectively integrate with other equipment.

Integration with other networks is possible, but you have to configure it.

We have been using Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for six or seven years.

There are three hundred people who are using this product in my team.

We are satisfied with the technical support from Cisco.

Prior to this, we used switches by D-Link. We changed because the D-Link is not a manageable switch and it has a lot of limitations. It cannot be configured to the same extent.

It is easy to set up because it only requires that you plug it in. After that, it will start working, as long as your network is not too complex. You have the option to specifically configure it to your network, as well.

I sometimes deploy this product myself, but other times, we have a company that works with us and they configure the services. We have ten technicians who can work on these switches.

This is a good product to use and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I support clients who are doing software development and they have their own servers, so we maintain the Cisco network for them. These switches are what they use in the network infrastructure.

These are small startups that cannot be on the cloud because of local government regulations. As such, they need to have their own switches and routers.

What matters most to me is the security of the product, and Cisco does a pretty good job.

The Cisco deployment instructions are not very easily available outside of the certification courses. It would be a very good thing if somebody without Cisco certification could learn the system. If Cisco adopted a more open-source mindset, I would personally prefer that.

Technical documents and other configuration-related information should be more freely available online.

The user interface can be improved, although I cannot specifically suggest in which ways. Simply put, anything can be made more intuitive. Even the Apple iPhone can be made better.

I have been using Cisco Linksys Switches for seven years.

Cisco is a very stable product. I don't know anybody on the planet who says that Cisco makes unstable systems

This is a very scalable product. That is the biggest reason we deploy Cisco. It's very easy to scale up. We have about 500 users that might connect to the network.

We are very happy with the support service. I have no concerns with them.

The deployment, testing, and auditing of a new network will take from two to three days to complete.

Our in-house team handles the installation. Once it is complete, I take care of the next steps.

Overall, we are very happy with Cisco products and I recommend these switches.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We are using Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for other devices to connect to our network.

I have been using Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for approximately six years.

We are using an old version of this solution and it could be more stable.

We only have a few people using this solution.

The technical support has been good, we have a dedicated team.

The installation is easy.

There is not a license to use the solution but we have a license for support.

I would not recommend this solution to others.

I rate Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches an eight out of ten.

We are a tech services company and this is one of the solutions that we provide to our customers.

The primary use case for Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is for networking in a data center, or campus networking.

The most valuable feature of Cisco routers is that they are robust. One of our customers has a switch that has been running for more than ten years without any issues.

Having the option for a web-based interface would be an improvement over being forced to use the CLI. This is especially true for the high-end switches.

I have been dealing with these switches for quite some time.

Stability-wise, I think that they are good. I haven't had any issues with them.

The switches are all easy to scale. No problem there.

I have contacted technical support before and they are not so bad. The response time is quite good. Overall, I would say that they are average.

I have used switches by Cisco, D-Link, and Dell. The D-Link switches are not as robust and sometimes lose their configuration. The Dell switches are similar but cheaper than Cisco.

Overall, Cisco is the best switch.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's not so difficult.

The length of time for deployment depends on what you are doing and how much configuration is required. If it is plug and play then it won't take long, but if you have to configure the switch and use the CLI then it will take longer.

Cisco switches are a little expensive when it comes to the price. We are starting to phase out of the sale of these because of the higher price.

Cisco licenses are renewed every year.

My advice for anyone who is considering this type of solution is to first consider the budget. Dell switches are cheaper and they do almost the same thing as Cisco.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
