Cisco Catalyst Switches Reviews

The solution has been issue-free.

The solution is scalable.

The stability of the product is good. We've had no problems whatsoever.

Overall, the pricing has been good.

Technical support is very helpful, even during implementation.

The initial setup is simple.

There are some models that can occasionally cause problems. If a particular switch is made for some specific use case or a particular environment, if you put that in other types of infrastructure or use cases, then you may face problems.

The licensing process could be a bit less complex.

We have dealt with the solution for about three years.

The stability has been good overall. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. The performance has been reliable. 

The scalability has been good. If a company needs to expand it, it can. However, you do need to have the right model, otherwise, you run into issues with scaling. 

We have 15 to 20 clients that use this product.

We have good technical people and an experienced technical team who can install those switches, and do a level of troubleshooting and escalations.

For five years, we've used Huawei. Three years ago we started with Cisco. This was mostly due to networking, as we don't have a team five years back. After that, we got the team specifically for networking and we started that with Huawei, and we got a very good response in the market. Unfortunately, due to the Chinese market, and all that stuff, that didn't last. That said, the customers who are using the technology, are still happy with the support as well as with the product.

We also occasionally use Aruba.

We didn't work with Juniper as an installation system integrator, however, we have with Cisco (including Nexus and Meraki) and Huawei, and we have had a very good experience. 

The initial setup is good. It is easy. If you know the commands, even basic commands, you can do the normal installation. If you want to go for V-LAN and other things, routing, et cetera, level three switches kind of installations, then you may need some time and knowledge. 

For deployment and maintenance, you need a minimum of two people. Three or four is also good if it is enterprise. There are some customers where we have to do installations at three or four sites simultaneously and we have to complete that within one or two days or within a specific downtime. If the network is down, everything is down. That is when you require multiple team members. Otherwise, if that is one site and one installation with one day's worth of downtime, with two people, you can do it easily.

Support is helpful in regard to the implementation process. My team didn't find any issues with installation.

The solution's pricing is pretty good. As far as whatever else is available in the market, for example, if you compared it to Aruba, Juniper, or other enterprise solutions, the pricing is reasonable.  

You do require licenses. There are some licenses that you need to procure separately. By default, the licensing process is good.

Everyone has their own licensing structure. With Cisco, once you do a setup two or three times, the process gets easier and the licensing gets clearer. Until then, licensing is a little bit tricky.

We do not use the solution in our office, however, as Test System Integrators, we have provided the solution.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. It's been quite good overall.

I would recommend the solution to other users and companies. 

I do not recall which version we are using. 

We use the solution with our networks. 

The general price of the solution could be cheaper.

Installation can be done on one's own. 

We have two people responsible for the deployment and maintenance. 

The general price of the solution could be cheaper.

I would recommend this solution to others. 

There are, perhaps, five users making use of the solution. 

I rate Cisco Catalyst Switches as an eight 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.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Cisco Catalyst Switches a ten out of ten.

We use this solution for our network.

I am a system engineer, and we sell the products to our customers.

I like the flexibility of this product.

There is a complexity with Cisco.

They should have unified software that includes all of the licenses. We should not have to pay for different software on the same platform. Each one has a specific use or a specific feature.

If you need dynamic routing then you have to purchase the software, if you need basic IP routing, you need different software. Why do you need this type of complexity?

They have their own propriety protocols while other competitors go with other standards and are easy. Cisco is a bit complex.

I have been using Cisco Catalyst Switches for 15 years.

We use several different versions, not just one. If they have different software for universal enterprise services, they will have specific features to use for the specific use case.

Cisco Catalyst Switches is a stable product.

The scalability of this solution needs to be improved. It is not very scalable. For example, if you want to enable the features such as VSS, you have to add other modules and hardware.

Other competitors have this feature available from the beginning. 

Technical support is fair.

The initial setup is straightforward. It is easy to install.

I was not involved in the installation but it is approximately five or ten minutes to deploy.

There is no licensing fee. All of the features are available on the switch from day one.

It's not a complicated license; you have to buy a license for different services or features. This is different.

Most of the features are available without additional hardware.

I would recommend Cisco to other users, along with several other products.

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

We primarily use the solution for both corporate and data centers.

The solution is very stable and the performance is good.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We're quite happy with its capabilities. 

I would recommend the solution to other users and companies. 

My customers are using Cisco Catalyst Switches for communication in different areas in the enterprise. My customers who use this solution are medium sized companies.

I think this solution is very good. I manage other solutions, and compared with those, Cisco Catalyst Switches is very stable, configurable, and durable. It is also easy to manage.

This solution is cheaper than other solutions.

It would be good if Cisco Catalyst Switches could align maintenance with one version.

Also, the protocols for management should be better.

I have about five years of experience with this solution.

It is a stable solution.

Technical support is good.

Compared to the price of other solutions such as Huawei and HP, Cisco Catalyst Switches is a cheaper solution.

My customers have evaluated Huawei and HP.

I recommend Cisco Catalyst Switches and rate it at nine on a scale from one to ten.

I find their system throughput and Cisco support very useful.

The price can definitely be lower. I also think that a Combi Port should be added to the next release.

I have been using Cisco Catalyst Switches for about two years. 

They're quite stable. Our Cisco Catalyst Switches have been working for many years. 

Cisco Catalyst Switches are very scalable.

Technical support is great. 

The initial setup is easy.

The price can definitely be lower. I think the quality is much higher than the other LANs, but the price must be lower on this.

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