"The most valuable feature is the simplicity of the central management system(CMS)."

"The features that I have found most valuable with Cisco switches are that once you get your configuration you can rest assured that it will work. The OS is not going to be failing intermittently or anything like that. Once you get your configuration end-goal right, the firmware and the OS are usually very stable enough to work a long time without support. Support is needed once in a while. My experience is that the Cisco switches are usually rocket."

"It's all-encompassing and can help you in all these different areas. If people realize that they want something that's going to work, that's pretty foolproof, then Cisco's always worth the investment."

"I have found some of the key features of the solution are it can be configured similar to Cisco, it is secure, easy to use, and the dashboard works well."

"Cisco can improve its stability for the BGP protocol. It is not stable while recalculating the BGP table. Its price should also be improved. It is very expensive."

"Firewall features should be pre-enabled in Cisco Ethernet switches."

"We have supply issues when ordering switches. It used to be a minimum of six to eight weeks. Now it has become around six months. That's the only issue we have."

"The pricing should be reduced so that they are more competitive."

"Pricing could be lower."

"In some configurations, I am unable to use two switches as one and it causes some problems."

"It is expensive. There are additional costs besides the license cost."

"Cisco Ethernet Switches are expensive, and you have to pay for a warranty and technical support."

"It's a little expensive."

"The solution is not too expensive."

"It is an expensive product since it is used in a large network where you cannot rely on some cheaply priced solution."

"Cisco products are not cheap, which is something that can be improved."

"It is very expensive."

"The cost of the solution is by unit."

"The price of the solution is fair."
