We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The deployment of the solution is quite fast.""Administration can be done using the web-based interface.""Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches are pretty good overall.""The stability of the program is excellent.""It is easy to use and stable.""Cisco's product is excellent and highly stable with decades of experience in switching and technology. It's a top-notch solution when your entire network operates within the Cisco ecosystem, allowing for a wide range of capabilities. However, the challenge with Cisco lies in its prioritization. When integrating with third-party solutions, like Juniper, it can be somewhat challenging, but it still performs reasonably well. Setting up Cisco switches is not a straightforward process; it's complex and requires more than simply powering them on and figuring things out as you go. You need a solid understanding of switch and stack configuration because Cisco has its unique software features. Cisco excels in vendor lock-in, meaning that if you want to combine Cisco switches with non-Cisco functionality, it can be both time-consuming and costly. While Cisco offers the most extensive capabilities, it can also be less flexible and more challenging when you want to deviate from the Cisco ecosystem.""For a home or small business, the solution offers a very good web interface.""What matters most to me is the security of the product, and Cisco does a pretty good job."

"The most valuable features are user functionality and interoperability.""On several occasions we encountered major issues with the solution and have found the Nokia technical support to be quite supportive.""The highest value lies in aggregating the data to improve both traffic management and device utilization, emphasizing the importance of engagement and liability.""The most valuable feature is the product's availability.""The performance and reliability are the solution's most valuable features."

Cons
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches could improve their price, it is high.""Scalability-wise, this solution is not designed for small businesses.""Pricing is an area with a shortcoming since the solution is expensive.""They could work on the pricing and make it more affordable for everyone.""We are expecting one software that can run across all of Cisco hardware, software, and Cisco Switch router, similar to what Juniper has.""The solution's price could be better.""On a scale of one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I rate the tool's scalability as seven since there are some limitations.""The sales support could improve, they are not supplying the solution on time. For some projects, we have had to wait many months."
