Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."They have some of the fastest speeds available."
"The solution is stable."
"The installation is easy."
"In a previous use case, we deployed Linksys Switches for blocking unwanted signals within a premises with the help of their clean air technology. This was one of the notable advantages of Linksys Switches over Cisco."
"The solution is reliable."
"Cisco's product is excellent and highly stable with decades of experience in switching and technology. It's a top-notch solution when your entire network operates within the Cisco ecosystem, allowing for a wide range of capabilities. However, the challenge with Cisco lies in its prioritization. When integrating with third-party solutions, like Juniper, it can be somewhat challenging, but it still performs reasonably well. Setting up Cisco switches is not a straightforward process; it's complex and requires more than simply powering them on and figuring things out as you go. You need a solid understanding of switch and stack configuration because Cisco has its unique software features. Cisco excels in vendor lock-in, meaning that if you want to combine Cisco switches with non-Cisco functionality, it can be both time-consuming and costly. While Cisco offers the most extensive capabilities, it can also be less flexible and more challenging when you want to deviate from the Cisco ecosystem."
"They are very reliable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Ease-of-use and ease-of-management are good qualities of this product."
"Broadcom's biggest issue is that they don't like to share information."
"Linksys switches are expensive but scalable."
"They just need to simplify the learning curve."
"The additional features which I would like to suggest is to implement user friendly GUI for easier network management."
"The solution's price could be better."
"Pricing is an area with a shortcoming since the solution is expensive."
"The problem with installation is not the installation process, but the building. Sometimes our building has a high ceiling, so installation is hard."
"Their performance should be improved."
"We haven't had any issues with the solution."
