Cons
"The support could improve."

More Broadcom StrataXGS Cons →

"The problem with installation is not the installation process, but the building. Sometimes our building has a high ceiling, so installation is hard.""Make them tougher and more ruggedized for warmer and Industrial types of environments, and HumiSeal the main boards and internal components.""Some experts say that the price may be lower or that the ethernet switches are complex to set up and manage, maybe because of limited port density, supports, and quality of service, like capabilities.""The manageability could be improved.""Another area of improvement is scalability.""The documentation should be improved from Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. Although it hints or refers to being able to do certain operations, they try to get you to load the software instead. They need to be more open with their documentation on using the web interface and give the client the option to use the software or not. This improvement is not on the switch itself, it is in the packaging.""It would be ideal if they could do more configurations and offer more flexibility. Right now, it's not flexible at all.""It should be cheaper. We need a better price from Cisco. Its initial setup and support should also be improved."
