Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."They have some of the fastest speeds available."
"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 features that I have found most valuable with Cisco switches are that once you get your configuration you can rest assured that it will work. The OS is not going to be failing intermittently or anything like that. Once you get your configuration end-goal right, the firmware and the OS are usually very stable enough to work a long time without support. Support is needed once in a while. My experience is that the Cisco switches are usually rocket."
"The queue functionality is the solution's most valuable feature, specifically because we are delivering a lot of Layer 2 services. Layer 2 protocol tunnels work well on Cisco switches."
"This product is widely available and the warranty is very good."
"This solution is overall a high-grade solution compared to others."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches have a lot of valuable features. One that stands out to me is its ease of implementation."
"For me, the initial setup was easy and straightforward, but for some of our customers who are not as familiar with networking, it can be complicated."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Ethernet Switches for our network are speed, latency, and reliability."
"Broadcom's biggest issue is that they don't like to share information."
"The high price of the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The user interface, the UI, could be better."
"We are less in the Cloud because the Cloud technologies didn't work so well. That happened in all of the companies where I've been engaged."
"Switches should be made stackable, even if they are not of the same model."
"They need to offer free replacements until the end of life for devices."
"To keep up with the market, the solution should have better evolution and innovation."
"We have experienced some issues with Cisco SG350 switches. We have not been able to use this switch at normal temperatures as it automatically reboots."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
