- "I have experienced operational efficiencies with Cisco FabricPath that are 200% better than the old legacy equipment and protocols."
- "Cisco is the best choice in terms of cost, quality, and post-procurement services."

Cisco FabricPath faces challenges such as interoperability with other IT solutions, high cost, inconsistent technical support, and complex setup. Integrating management features in Layer 3 and improving documentation are needed. Enhancing the graphical user interface and adding AI would benefit users. The role of Cisco FabricPath compared to other Cisco products is sometimes unclear to customers, and delivery times in regions like Indonesia and Malaysia are lengthy. Better integration with SIEM and additional security features are suggested.
- "There is room for improvement in terms of pricing for the Cisco solution. They are somewhat good at the starting point, but when you get the license and such, it becomes very expensive."
- "In Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, and in the Latin America region, delivery times can be quite lengthy. This is challenging in terms of logistics and customs."
- "The main issue I face is the cost."
