| Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
|---|---|---|
| IT Manager at Decorgel | 4.5 | I've used Cisco Ethernet Switches for 5-6 years in our 50-user manufacturing company and value their reliability, easy setup, and cost-effectiveness, with no major issues except wishing for a unified multi-brand equipment management platform. |
| Head of the Solutions Department at BIM Group of Companies | 5.0 | In my industry, Cisco Ethernet Switches effectively fulfill our network needs, offering security, durability, and scalability. While the SG series needs improvement for floor switch usage, installation was straightforward and aligned with expectations, enhancing our operational efficiency. |
| Senior System Engineer & Project Manager at TechnoPeak | 4.5 | At our company, Cisco Ethernet Switches and Cisco Duo enhance security and performance, offering reliability and ease of configuration. While cost and user-friendliness of terminal commands on switches could improve, their durability is commendable, fitting our needs efficiently. |
| Asst IT Manager at Ultra Engineers | 4.0 | We primarily use Cisco Ethernet switches for networking needs including core, distribution, and access levels. They're durable and low-maintenance but are costly, impacting ROI. Alternatives like Arista or HP provide similar features at a lower price. |
| Business Owner at Vareza | 4.0 | Our customers use Cisco Ethernet Switches for network layers and call switches, appreciating their power stacking feature. However, mandatory add-on purchases for advanced features like Digital Network Architecture can be cumbersome, with competitors offering simpler and more affordable alternatives. |
| Hardware Networking Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees | 3.5 | I've found Cisco Ethernet Switches reliable with strong QoS and easy remote management, though I wish they offered better cloud access. They've supported my network well, and overall, I’d rate them a solid 7 out of 10. |
| Commercial Experience Supervisor at Jazz (previously known as Mobilink) | 3.5 | As a network engineer working with Cisco Ethernet switches, I find them effective for managing our environment. While FortiGate offers built-in firewall capabilities, Cisco's significant market value persuaded us to choose them without exploring other solutions initially. |
| Professor at FESB - Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture | 4.0 | In our university's flexible and open network, Cisco Ethernet Switches handle intruders well, despite occasional end-user demands being challenging for our network administrator. However, the high cost is a concern, and there's room for improvement in pricing. |
