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.

Pros

"Overall, we are very happy with Cisco products and I recommend these switches."

"Linksys switches are easy to use. You can pull the switch out of the box, plug it in, and it's going to work."
"The product is great for networking."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is a stable solution."
"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 solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
 

Cons

"The only thing that needs to improve, the only stumbling block, especially in our region, is the cost of the solution."
"We are expecting one software that can run across all of Cisco hardware, software, and Cisco Switch router, similar to what Juniper has."
"There is a four-month wait list for certified switches and licenses in Libya because they must be shipped from Dubai."
"The product’s price is a bit high."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches could improve their price, it is high."
"They are stable, but not as good as Juniper, they could be improved."
"We encounter a challenge in automating the product to reduce manual work."
"The solution is not scalable in a larger organization network; we prefer to use Cisco Catalyst Ethernet Switches for enterprise-level organizations."
"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."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"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."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is reasonable."
"It is an expensive solution."
"You don't need to pay yearly or monthly for this solution."
"If you want any feature, you have to go with the subscriptions offered by the tool."
"The licensing cost is not bad and is actually very competitive within the product category."
"It is costly. Because of its pricing, customers are not ready to buy Cisco solutions, and they are going for other brands."
"Licensing fees for this product are billed on a yearly basis."
"I think that pricing should be more competitive. While the Cisco product is good, the pricing is not competitive. People will end up going with other cheaper solutions such as Arista."
"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
