Cons
"The user interface, the UI, could be better.""An improvement would be to change their market intention. Almost all the Cisco switches are now coming with a license called DNA. D for Delta, N for number and A for apple. That feature is required, he must purchase it and it is a mandatory thing that has been introduced. This is not matching with the Asian market.""Cisco's pricing can be a concern, particularly with support fees.""The ease of use of Cisco Ethernet Switches could improve. It is different to use them if you do not have prior knowledge.""Cisco has a licensing procedure that is very complicated and it changes every six months.""The platform's management features need improvement.""Their firmware could be better secured against vulnerabilities or other exploits. Also, only selected catalyst switches are allowed to onboard to Cisco SD Access technology.""An area for improvement in Cisco Ethernet Switches is its command-line interface. It works differently than expected if you want to do some implementation. However, it works if it's a simple integration."
