Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches Reviews

In our environment, we are using Cisco switches in Visio clusters. We are using Dell servers, and we are using Dell Precision workstations. I do not remember the model number of the Cisco switches. We are using the Cisco network series of switches and they are the L2 class. I think they are the 2960 series of switches.  

At present, our company policy does not allow us to host any of our data on the public cloud. We are revising the information security policy. Until this new policy comes into effect, we will not be able to go into the public cloud.  

In the end, the switches will continue to be a component of data interpretation in our environment.  

My work is able to continue because the switches are reliable. That is mostly what is important to me. I can not say that I like the product more than other switches because I have not worked with other switches in a long time and I have not had any difficulty with these. They are working fine right now and the support is good for so far.  

In particular, the simplicity of management could be improved. At present, all these switches require a software layer. For example, I am asking for the SDN (Software Defined Networking) for managing a network-based project. Similarly, I would like to get the SDS (Smart Distributed System) for storage projects. Managing things is a little bit difficult, definitely. So, manageability can be improved. At the individual product level, an improvement to the difficulty of management will be very helpful for admin users.  

I think we have been using these Lynksys Ethernet switches for five or six years, but as far as Cisco products are concerned, we have been using Cisco products for a much longer time.  

Overall, my organization has more than 30 or 40 work centers, data centers, and more than about 15 or 20,000 users. It is not possible to tell the exact number of end-users. So we are already running on a large scale. Our plans are to subscribe to a private cloud. By that, I mean we plan to convert the whole data center to cloud services. As far as the technical capabilities are concerned, Cisco Lynksys switches will be something we can still use. Commercially, I do not know if they are feasible. I already talked to a Cisco person about the technical qualifications and he assured me that the product qualifies technically.  

Personally, I have never taken any personal support, because I have a different team. But there definitely has been no complaint regarding the Cisco support. I cannot say every customer gets the same support, but at our company we definitely have got good support.  

We use L3 switches in one of the Nexus series of switches. I do not remember the series. We use them concurrently. It depends on the situation.  

It is a little difficult to answer if it is straightforward or complex because some parts are easy and some parts are difficult. Also, it will not be possible for me to say first-hand, because when the deployment was going on, I was not here.  

Nowadays everything is software-driven. Even network products are configured through NFS (Network File System). Because we have to configure each individual switch, which makes it more complex. Once you are on object-based storage like SDN, it becomes easy to manage things. Most of the time, it is manageability which is complex. It is not the product which is giving us any problems. Managing every little product one-at-a-time is difficult. With something like SDN, or these types of alternative management systems, we can manage all these things through a single software interface — a single pane of glass — that becomes easy.  

I would recommend this product for other users who want to start using it. We do not have anything negative to say about the product and it has been serving us well. There would be no reason not to recommend it.  

On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate this product from my perspective as a nine-out-of-ten. It would be very difficult for me to give it a higher rating. There are parts of it that can be improved.  

We use this solution to expand our data center and software-defined network.

We have around 20,000 people in our organization who benefit from using this solution. 

The installation should be simplified. 

I have been using Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for five years. We plan on using this solution for the next three to five years.

We used to use an older version of Cisco, but we upgraded to the current version.

The initial setup was complex. Deployment took roughly nine months. 

I would recommend Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches to other organizations. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches a rating of eight.

We are an IT company and we configure these switches for our clients. The environment varies depending on the client and their requirements.

The most valuable features are virtualization and micro-segmentation.

The user interface needs a lot of improvement.

The enterprise-level and data center products need to be improved.

The command-line interface could be more user-friendly.

I have been working with Linksys Ethernet switches for the past 14 years.

Linksys switches are pretty stable.

With respect to scalability, some features such as stacking are missing. Linksys has to work on this technology, especially for a scalable stack. This product is best suited to home users and small offices.

I have never had to contact technical support directly. I have been able to configure these devices using the administration guide.

I have worked with multiple switches from multiple vendors. These include Cisco enterprise-level switches like the Catalyst and the 6500 series. I have worked with Acer routers, HP enterprise-level switches, Dell S-series and N-series, Juniper's MX series routers and EX series switches, and Huawei's S-Series switches and NE-Series routers.

This product is very easy to deploy and any home user can do it. For the typical home user, I don't think that it would take more than a day to set up and deploy.

The price of Linksys products is pretty reasonable.

My advice for anybody who is considering this product is that it is well-suited for home uses and small businesses. My only complaints are about the user interface and the stacking capabilities.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use this solution to build networks that interconnect different branches and buildings in different layers. We can also connect to a cloud environment.

The model of switch that is used depends on the application. I prefer to use the 4500 series for the distribution layer, but for the access layer, the 2950 series is better.

The most important feature related to this solution is that most of the time, it covers all of what we need for our projects. It is suitable as a complete solution.

The generalization is useful.

This is a flexible solution that integrates well with other platforms and products.

In the future, I would like to see more focus on software-defined networking solutions.

Usually, this solution is stable. Even when there are bugs or errors, Cisco pays attention to cover them.

This is a scalable solution.

We have about ten users in our current department. They are network engineers.

I am not personally in charge of speaking with technical support, but we are quite satisfied with them.

For a short time, I worked with both Huawei and MikroTik switches, but I was not satisfied with them.

The initial setup of this solution is easy, although it depends on your knowledge and experience. Usually, it is easy. An average deployment might take six hours.

We have our own network team for implementing this solution.

The price of this solution is high, but it depends on the number of units that you want to order. 

Cisco is a market leader in this product.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The product can be used for user connectivity.

Cisco products are always stable.

The product’s price is a bit high.

I have deployed the solution for our customers.

The tool is quite stable.

The tool is scalable. In my previous organization, I had a team of 20 engineers. Many of our customers were using the solution.

The support is very good.

Positive

The choice of product depends upon the customer’s requirements and budget. If the customer cannot afford Cisco, we may suggest they use D-Link or TP-Link.

The initial setup is straightforward. I'm an expert in Cisco, so I don't have any problem setting it up. The deployment, along with the configuration, would take one hour. If we do not want advanced requirements like management, we can just plug it in, and the users can start working. If it is modular, we need to take care of the modules.

We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution.

The price is the only concern. The product and the support are excellent. I would recommend the solution to others. Cisco must provide a product for users who have low budgets. Overall, I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

The tool helps us create VLANs, ensure network security, and manage traffic. 

I use the tool because of its performance, reliability, and security. 

Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches should improve its pricing. 

I have been working with the product for 17 years. 

Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is stable. 

My company has 50 users for the product. 

Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches' tech support is fast, knowledgeable, responsive, and customer-friendly. 

Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches' deployment is straightforward because I have been trained to deploy it. 

I did the deployment myself. 

The tool's licensing costs are yearly. You only need to pay standard licensing costs. 

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.In terms of network security and management features, the tool is top-notch. This justifies its pricing compared to other products. I recommend going for Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches if you can afford it. 

Using the tool provides the company with a stable and reliable network infrastructure. They are easy to troubleshoot and scale, improving performance and enhancing security measures. It is dependable and provides me with what I want. 

It's a good network covering and security company for the internet. But I'm done with it. I don't want the security solution. 

Now, I try to learn about it. That's it. Not for long-term internet use.

I like the firewall. It integrates with AWS. I can use the Cisco product on an AWS server.

It should be cheaper. It is expensive. Another area of improvement is scalability. 

I have been using this solution for two years.

I would rate the stability an eight out of ten. It is a very stable product. 

It is scalable, but not great. It's not bad, but it could be better.

My company is small and I am the only user. 

The initial setup is complex. The deployment takes about two days. 

I deployed it myself. 

Licensing is expensive. It is a yearly license. 

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. However, I have not worked with it for a while. 

We use Linksys switches to connect PCs, laptops, printers and various other equipment.

Linksys switches help us manage connected equipment because we can see the historical data on all devices connected to this switch. 

I have used Linksys switches for seven years.

Cisco Linksys switches are stable. 

Linksys switches are highly scalable. We have about 300 users on these switches. 

Deploying Linksys switches was effortless. One person can hook everything up in about twenty minutes. 

Linksys switches are so stable that we haven't needed to buy new equipment in seven years.

Linksys switches are expensive but scalable.

I rate Cisco Linksys Ethernet switches nine out of 10. I recommend them. They're highly stable.
