Sometimes they will take a DSL modem from AT&T that they brought from home, hook it in backward, and it will give rogue addresses causing issues."
"I like the management of streaming both audio and video."
"Technical support is always very helpful and fast to respond."

"Personal automatization is a feature that should be addressed."
"Pricing mainly is the only issue."
"I use the Cisco Catalyst Switches command-line interface(CLI) a lot out in the field, but there are some web interfaces features that are available that I haven't used very much. I'm more comfortable with the CLI, but the web interfaces are very lacking."
"Their centralized management could be better. There should be some kind of software for centralized management so that I don't need somebody else to manage it."
"The solution could improve by allowing administrators to create scripts to help automate processes to make tasks easier."
"Cisco is weird about their pricing models, so that's one problem. Their operating system is also a little outdated."
