Long experience has delivered fast, reliable networking and intuitive management for clients
Regarding Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches, there is nothing technically that needs improvement, but the support and cost are significant concerns. The main issue is that many customers are hesitant to purchase Cisco products because the support costs are very high. When I compare it to HP Aruba switches, for example, the support from HP is almost free. Cisco always charges for support, which is understandable because Cisco has a very large support organization like Cisco TAC behind it. Additionally, upgrades are not free with Cisco. Other vendors offer switch upgrades and firmware upgrades mostly free of charge. These are my main concerns.

Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents. I can always call technical support and ask them if I forget something and I'll get the support, but I shouldn't need to do that. Anything can be improved and unfortunately a good switch is not cheap but there's no choice if you need a special router.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Technical support from Cisco is the best."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is it is easy to manage."
"I suggest that Cisco Linksys Ethernet switches might be one of the best options on the market."
"Ciscos Switches are one of the best switches in the industry."
"We use the Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches for small purposes, such as setting up our test environment and running our tests."
"Cisco is absolutely the very best in its class."
"It's scalable, it is cloud-based controlled, we don't need to buy a dedicated controller, and it allows me to control all of my access points everywhere in all my companies."
"I'd advise potential users to just go for it, as they will not be disappointed in this product."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
 

Cons

"It would be ideal if they could do more configurations and offer more flexibility. Right now, it's not flexible at all."
"The additional features which I would like to suggest is to implement user friendly GUI for easier network management."
"It is costly. Because of its pricing, customers are not ready to buy Cisco solutions, and they are going for other brands."
"However, the only thing that probably set us aback with the Linksys switches is that there were some in the same purchase batch that did not last long."
"Integration with other networks is possible, but you have to configure it."
"The drawbacks come from support. The tools are rare, but to find someone knowledgeable with Cisco, is a problem."
"They need to develop better UI. Other products have a nice GUI."
"The solution's price could be better."
"The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents."
"While the solution is good for the light commercial market or for the residential market, it's not ideal for the commercial market, for example, a big enterprise or data center."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is more expensive than competitors but is reliable and worth the money."
"The cost of Linksys switches is very reasonable and for a small enterprise like my company, it's perfect."
"If you look at the product portfolio from Cisco, it's quite expensive."
"There is no license required."
"The licensing cost is not bad and is actually very competitive within the product category."
"They are cheaper than Cisco Catalyst Switches."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches prices are high. However, it was acceptable. The price is higher than competitors."
"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
