We performed a comparison between Cisco Ethernet Switches and Luxul Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."We use Cisco Ethernet Switches to configure VLANs in the VPN network."
"The most valuable feature is that we create a network as a villain."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches have great enterprise features like Cisco DNA Assurance. Cisco DNA Assurance features advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning. Cisco AI Network Analytics, a capability within Cisco DNA Assurance, allows easy management of all devices and services, prioritizes and resolves network issues, and ensures a better user experience across the network."
"The technical support is good and they respond quickly. I haven't had any problems."
"Technical support has always been helpful."
"Cisco switches have several valuable features like VLAN mapping. We seldom use that, but we find the security configurations helpful, like high availability with trading port channels and MAC filtering."
"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."
"The hardware is rugged. We use it for the basic configuration."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"There could be an improvement in the licensing by reducing the price of the different types, such as essential, advantage, and premium."
"I haven't heard from my engineers that they said it's excellent."
"They can make the licensing model a little easier."
"The licensing needs to be improved."
"One thing we did have to work around is, on the broadcast side, we're reliant on the PTP protocol, precision time protocol, and the Cisco switches in general, don't support that."
"Up to a certain network size, it is easy to scale, but after that, it becomes difficult."
"There's are other products that are better for network programmability. Cisco isn't as programmable as some preferred vendors. For example, on iOS 6 products, you have to commit the change directly on the running configuration. If you have a generic product you can do this, so it can improve in programmability."
"Technical support for integrations with other network products is insufficient and should be improved."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
