We use Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for creating networks.

Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is a stable solution.

Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved.

I have been using Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for four years.

Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is a scalable solution. Around 60 users are using the solution in our organization.

The solution’s initial setup is straightforward.

Two people are needed for the solution's deployment and maintenance. I would recommend Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches to other users.

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

I am impressed with the tool's features like routing, Layer 2 security, and port security. 

We encounter a challenge in automating the product to reduce manual work. 

I have been working with the tool for twenty years. 

Compared to Huawei, Cisco's support is good. 

I would rate the product a nine out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for the WiFi and the wireless. We use it as a switch. It can help with encryption and networking.

Since I am a certified user, I find the solution to be very smooth. It works very well. The solution offers good training so that users can remain up-to-date with the product.

Cisco offers very good SLAs.

We've had some issues as we've increased usage. It might be the logic or maybe we just need more hardware. We're working on a fix to the problem.

The pricing is a bit high.

They need to develop better UI. Other products have a nice GUI.

I've used the solution over the last ten years.

This is a stable solution. It's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We find the solution is also very secure. 

The solution scales well. It's not a problem if you need to expand. 

We have an SLA with Cisco, and they offer support and maintenance services. If you have a good SLA in place with Cisco, you get the help you need. Having the SLA helps cover the warranty or if something happens like a misconfiguration or a change. Overall, the support is good. 

I'm also familiar with Aruba.

The initial setup is very easy. We just follow the steps and handle the configuration. We also do any troubleshooting if there is any issue.

If the user wants another configuration, you adjust as needed. 

It is not difficult to maintain the product at all. If there are any urgent issues, we're on top of it. We make sure we can fix network issues quickly, should they happen, in order to maintain the business. 

I happen to have good SLAs for other problems and they cover things from the Cisco side.

The solution can be expensive. 

We have plans to upgrade our switches and are moving everything over to Cisco.

We're using the latest version of the product.

I have a deep knowledge of Cisco and have worked with it for a while. It doesn't really give us any issues. It's easy to integrate with devices. Many companies tend to use Cisco.

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

We primarily use it for running our manufacturing operation.

Regarding improving our organization's functioning, the security provided by the solution can be considered an example.

I found the feature of having no downtime to be the most valuable aspect of the tool.

Right now, there aren't any improvements needed in the solution.

Feature-wise, there are no features that I would like to see included in the tool.

I would say it's been more than ten years that I've been dealing with Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. It was version 9300, which I was using.

Speaking in terms of how it has improved the way our organization functions, we have experienced improved stability.

I have faced no issues with the stability of the solution.

Scalability-wise, the solution is good. On a scale of one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I rate the tool's scalability as seven since there are some limitations. Also, around a thousand users use Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches in our organization.

I haven't had any need to escalate any questions to the technical support team recently.

The initial setup of the tool was easy.

On a scale of one to ten, where one is the worst and ten is the easiest, I rate my experience with the initial setup as a nine.

When deploying the switches, the basic steps involved getting the architecture done and then deploying it. It was a lengthy process and took around three to six months.

We did not require a lot of staff members or resources for the deployment process. Also, the tool does not require any specific maintenance.

We have Accenture as our global partner, who handles the deployment process for us. They are the ones who do it for us.

For ROI, we generally recover it in seven years.

I cannot give any advice or recommendation for those who want to start working with Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. I also won't be able to recommend it to others. However, while I personally recommend this solution, I cannot publicly recommend it to anyone.

I rate Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches a nine out of ten.

The solution is used to connect to the local area network for the server room to connect our different floors, and levels, to interconnect all the users from different locations within the campus.

The most valuable feature is performance.

The solution's support can use improvement because they are not very good at following up. A reduction in cost can improve the solution. 

I have been using the solution for over one year.

The stability should be fine because I'm using Cisco, and I think I have no problem with that.

The solution is scalable.

Whenever we raise tickets we never receive further feedback or callbacks.

Neutral

We have always used Cisco products.

The initial setup is straightforward. 

Normally, we have a face-to-face implementation, so it could last three to six months for the implementation because there are a lot of teams involved, including security, and application.

The deployment was completed in-house.

I give the solution a seven out of ten.

We currently have 300 people using the solution and will probably be increasing that number in the near future.

We have 46 members on our technical team.

We are using Cisco switches for the moment, two backbone switches, and we also have firewalls from Cisco.

We use the solution for networking. We are a graphical company making many designs for Corrugated and Offset and so on, and use the solution for communications.

They are very reliable. They don't break. We have some old switches and they're still working. 

That's one of the things about Cisco - if you buy Cisco you have a good suite.

It's scalable.

The solution is stable. 

The solution is costly.

The interface is a bit difficult, and you need to have someone that is trained in Cisco on your team in order to take advantage of it properly.

The solution requires a lot of knowledge and training. 

It's hard to configure. You need to understand Command-Line.

The solution is stable.

It scales well. 

We've used the solution for more than ten years. 

It is a stable, reliable solution. There are no bugs or glitches. the switches are very robust and last a long time. They do not break easily.

I'd rate the solution four out of five in terms of its stability.

The solution scales well. It's not a problem.

I'd rate the scalability four out of five in terms of how well it expands. 

There are about 80 people using the solution in Belgium and 20 in Holland.

We do not use technical support. We have our own person we go to that can help us troubleshoot.

We are currently looking into Fortigate. We are investigating which would be a better switch for us. Cisco is becoming too expensive, and Fortigate is easier to configure. We may also move to Barracuda, which is also simpler.

It was complex to set up. We also have some sites in Holland that we needed as well and then we had to make the VM, and so on. 

There was one person, knowledgeable in Cisco, that handled the deployment. He deployed the solution in about two days. He also maintains the product.

We have an internal employee that knows a lot about Cisco and was able to help us with the setup and configuration.

We have not calculated an ROI.

It's an expensive product. Fortinet, for example, is a bit less. That's true for Barracuda as well.

You don't need to buy a license. If you buy a switch, it's your switch. However, the price to purchase just keeps going up and up.

We're customers and end-users. 

We are not on the latest version of the solution. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. They are good, yet they are also expensive and difficult to configure.

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

Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is a stable solution.

The Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches are scalable.

We have approximately six people using the solution.

The support from Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches was not very good prior to 2019. However, the support has improved and is not a problem anymore.

The sales support could improve, they are not supplying the solution on time. For some projects, we have had to wait many months.

The deployment difficulty level of Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches depends on the requirements of the client. If the IT person from the client's side is good the implementation will be fine. If not the implementation will be difficult.

The price of Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is higher than competitors, such as Huawei.

I rate Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches a nine out of ten.

We use the solution as switches. We use it across the justice system in our country. They are in lots of buildings. 

We are using it for networking for WAN network connections.

The stability has come in handy for us. If you compare it to Huawei or HPE, it's more reliable.

We are using the ICE integration with Cisco and that's it.

It's great for networking. 

We are using protocols like OSPF.

It works very well. 

We are using the common features and it works well for us.

It's stable and we never have to worry about it. 

The setup is straightforward. 

The product is scalable.

We aren't lacking any features. 

The pricing can be a bit unstable. It's dependent on the account manager. They should offer reasonable standard pricing. We need to go through local vendors and everything varies far too much.

We've been using the solution for 20 years now. It's been a very long time. 

We've never had issues with stability. The switches are always stable and reliable. 

We have nearly 2,000 switches. Right now, we have 10,000 users. 

It's quite scalable. The product is not limited in any way. 

We have Smart Net support. If anything comes up, we open a ticket with Cisco and they assist. They will replace the hardware within a week or two typically. 

They are all qualified CCIE and are quite knowledgeable.

We used to use Huawei switches many years ago. We also used HPE. We are purely using Cisco now. Cisco has better support and the switches are easier to use. The Command Line is different and simple.

The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not difficult at all.

It is easy to maintain everything.

We handle the setups in-house. 

We've noted an ROI. 

The pricing is okay. 

Depending on the account manager, whether he gives a discount or not will determine the price. Sometimes they give you a 70% discount and sometimes there's no discount. The price is not stable.

Comparatively, the pricing is pretty good.

We are an end user. 

Every year, we are changing the product and tend to use the latest versions. Right now, we are using 93 on many. We may use different switch versions.  

We'd recommend the product. It's stable and has a good interface. 

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

This product is for absolutely everything to do with our networks.

This product is fine and works well in the background.

Scalability is an area that can be improved.

I have been working with Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for more than ten years.

Given that this product works well, it's stable.

In terms of scalability, I imagine that it is good, although it can still be improved. We have approximately 2,500 users and we do not plan on increasing our usage.

I would rate the technical support a full five out of five.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward.

We have an in-house technical team but we also use consultants.

We have a team of approximately three people that handle networks, among other things.
