Cisco Catalyst Switches Reviews

We are using Cisco Catalyst Switches as a network switch in our organization.

The solution has high performance and we do not have to troubleshoot the network.

I have been using Cisco Catalyst Switches for approximately 20 years.

I have found Cisco Catalyst Switches to be stable, we do not have any packet loss issues.

Cisco Catalyst Switches is scalable, we can expand the network regularly.

We have approximately 150 people using the solution in our organization.

We used technical support during the installation but after we did not use them often.

We have used other smaller solutions in the past but we have moved back to Cisco solutions.

It takes a few hours to have the hardware installed.

We have a team of two engineers that do the implementation of the solution.

We are on an annual license to use this solution and the price of the solution could be reduced. We have spent hundreds of thousands on our Wi-Fi network.

I highly recommend this solution to others.

I rate Cisco Catalyst Switches a ten out of ten.

We use the solution both in my company and in those of my customers. 

The GUI should be addressed. I am not certain if they have this. 

The solution is kind of expensive when compared with other products. 

We have been using Cisco Catalyst Switches for two years. 

The solution is definitely stable. 

The solution is certainly scalable. 

The technical support is at an expert level. 

One only need have a feel for the setup to do this. Technically speaking, this is quite fine. 

When compared with other products, the solution is kind of on the expensive side. 

We are satisfied with the solution. It demonstrates good performance. 

We rate Cisco Catalyst Switches as a nine-point-five out of ten. 

This solution is used to strengthen our connections, connect to the network, as a router to multiple systems, network management, and monitoring.

The configuration is the most valuable feature of this solution.

It is easy to use.

I have been working with Cisco Catalyst Switches for one year.

We are working with the 3750 series.

 The stability of Cisco Catalyst Switches is good.

It's a scalable product.

This solution is used by 1,000 customers.

Technical support is good.

We use Cisco Routers as well as Huawei Routers, and Cisco Linksys.

The initial setup was straightforward. 

The solution took them two and a half years to implement.

We have a fiber team that handles solution maintenance and helps us with some technical issues.

The cost could be reduced.

If they worked on lowering the price, they would be able to attract more customers.

We are consultants who provide licensing to our clients.

When I graduate, I will have improved my English and will be able to perform more tasks.

I am in charge of the data while learning how to deploy this solution.

I would rate Cisco Catalyst Switches a seven out of ten.

Our company is in the financial sector and we are customers of Cisco. 

The solution is good for computation and backup. 

We need to rely on other devices to provide management features. Other solutions provide more features and Catalyst Switches is not user-friendly. Even the configuration is difficult for our new engineers. Cisco has some weaknesses. 

I've been using this solution for 13 years. 

The technical support is very good, but anything support-related is based on payment. Without paying you won't see any service from Cisco. The same goes for training which requires payment. Other solutions provide training without payment but not Cisco.

The technical support license is very difficult because you can only get support if you've purchased the hardware. After you own the devices you still have to pay for support and pay for the license. Everything is an added cost. 

There are alternative solutions now penetrating the market and because of difficulties with configuration in this product, there are now more appealing options. 

I rate the solution seven out of 10. 

Cisco Catalysts Switches can be useful for the future.

Catalyst Switches could be more secure.

I've been using Catalyst Switches for about four or five years.

Cisco Catalyst Switches are stable.

We have room to expand.

We haven't used Cisco support for this. For the technical aspect of Cisco products, we have some in-house support in this aspect.

Catalyst Switches are easy to install. 

My company gets the quote from the provider.

I rate Cisco Catalyst Switches seven out of 10. I would recommend the solution to others. 

Office network

Stable solution

Everyone knows Cisco as a product. It is definitely one of the easiest solutions to run and manage. 

It's a product that has dominated the marketplace for many years.

You have many professionals out there who are Cisco-certified, which makes them comfortable working with Cisco. Therefore, getting a trained workforce is easy when you look at Cisco from a deployment perspective.

The solution is stable.

The solution offers a bit of complexity and you need a specialized workforce.

The scalability can be a bit limited due to the stacking topology which limits the number of switches that can be added in a given stack

It's always a while before you can get through to technical support.

I've been dealing with the solution for a few weeks to a few months.

The solution is very stable. It's reliable. 

When it comes to scalability, Cisco is the one who has been pretty heavy on the switch-stacking deployment topology, which hinders your capacity to scale, especially when you compare it against their arch-rival, Arista.

We have about ten clients who have been working with Cisco forever. 

I'd recommend the solution to other organizations. When it comes to the budget, everything boils down to that and that's where Cisco would take the cake compared to Arista.

Technical support could be better. When you call, the wait times are quite long. They need to hire more support or to work to make the wait times lower in some way.

I also have some experience and knowledge of Arista products.

The initial setup is something like Arista, as they do have a central deployment model. The only complaint about Cisco is that too many units have to be deployed to have things done in a much better way, which makes it costly. They could improve on that and make it easier for the administrators to implement Cisco.

The size of the technical team you need for deployment and maintenance depends
completely on the size of the network and the kind of operations that you carry out as a company. With Cisco, you likely would need at least one person for every 50 or 60 switches.

The solution is less expensive than, for example, Arista.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. The only complaint I have about Cisco is the wait time when you call tech support.

The price could be improved.

I have been using Cisco Catalyst Switches for 25 or 30 years,

We don't have any issues with the stability of Cisco Catalyst Switches.

Cisco Catalyst Switches are scalable.

We have approximately 20,000 people who use this solution.

I have not contacted technical support.

It is easy to install. Most of the engineers already know about it.

The pricing could be cheaper.

There is a one-time license, but we pay for the smart net license every three years for support.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Cisco Catalyst Switches a ten out of ten.

Cisco Catalyst Switches are pretty straightforward. They offer LAN and internal networking. They are for network segmentations and LAN and WAN perimeter networks.

In terms of what could be improved, more integration is the main thing they should be focused on.

I believe the sets of Cisco Catalyst Switches are being used in our company for more than five to seven years.

I myself have been using this for the last two years.

They are pretty good. They are stable. Cisco has been around in the industry for a long time, so they are reliable, as well.

Cisco Catalyst Switches are quite scalable.

Our organization strength is around 15,000 using it.

We are pretty happy with customer service. As far as my experience with Cisco is concerned, they are pretty up-to-date in terms of their responses.

The initial setup was easy. They are very easy to install.

We generally do a first model and we have an execution team. They take care of the implementation and everything.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Cisco Catalyst Switches around an eight.

I think they're pretty okay. Cisco is pretty straightforward.

I would absolutely recommend Cisco Catalyst Switches for others.
