We performed a comparison between Cisco Ethernet Switches and Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Cisco Ethernet Switches have good performance."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches are rugged, secure, and scalable. It provides smart devices and reliable switches."
"The solution offers great bandwidth and speed."
"The command-line interface is easy to use."
"Being able to deal with multiple VLANs to segment the network logically is the biggest feature for us. The management of these switches is okay for us. These switches work very well, and they meet our needs."
"I know this solution for many years. I know the GUI and commands, and they are useful for me. I have all the functions that I want."
"The product is pretty much reliable and stable."
"The main features of this solution are performance and ease of use."
"it's a stable solution. We have not experienced any bugs or issues. Many data centers and enterprise data centers prefer Cisco to any other product because they are very stable."
"What matters most to me is the security of the product, and Cisco does a pretty good job."
"We have found the stability to be excellent."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Linksys switches help us manage connected equipment because we can see the historical data on all devices connected to this switch."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is a stable solution."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The installation process is straightforward."
"In terms of features, they tick all the boxes as of now. That could be because we tailor the solution around the product. I have not seen anything that pulls me back or is not working well for me. However, there could be better integration with the network monitoring systems. It doesn't mean it is currently not there, but there could be better discoverability with some of the network monitoring systems to be able to have more visibility. When you're setting up a control room, you can have more visibility into what is going on in the network. It has been doing that, but it can do that more."
"The solution's reliability should be improved."
"Location of customers to connect clients to the servers and transport the data and VoIP in parallel with QoS and NBAR with 802.1X."
"The ease of use of Cisco Ethernet Switches could improve. It is different to use them if you do not have prior knowledge."
"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."
"The interface and dashboard could look better."
"The installation is difficult and requires further training documentations."
"One area for improvement could be integrating a single dashboard for both wired and wireless networks."
"Make them tougher and more ruggedized for warmer and Industrial types of environments, and HumiSeal the main boards and internal components."
"Having the option for a web-based interface would be an improvement over being forced to use the CLI."
"The documentation should be improved from Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. Although it hints or refers to being able to do certain operations, they try to get you to load the software instead. They need to be more open with their documentation on using the web interface and give the client the option to use the software or not. This improvement is not on the switch itself, it is in the packaging."
"The solution's support can use improvement because they are not very good at following up."
"Their performance should be improved."
"Scalability-wise, this solution is not designed for small businesses."
"The installation could be simplified."
"Pricing is an area with a shortcoming since the solution is expensive."
