"I think it is a reliable and scalable solution."
"The solution is durable."
"The solution is beneficial for interconnecting POE telephones, computers, printers, and buffering networks."
"Easy to manage, with a long lifespan."
"One main feature with Cisco is you know you are going to get a very good switching infrastructure that is secure."
"It would be ideal if the solution was less expensive."
"One of the issues that we have been faced with here in Brazil is that we don't have any list times for delivery."
"I would like to see a version available with eight or sixteen ports."
"The management of Cisco Catalyst Switches could be improved."
"The product should work on its pricepoints. It's an expensive solution."
"The price could be better. For Cisco, there is no need for improvement except for the price. It's expensive."
"The price is high and it should be improved."
"The licensing process should be back to how it was before. Now, you have to register online, and it makes staging a bit trickier."
"One feature that I would like to add is for the following: At times, when I add an access-list for a hostname, it doesn't actually add the hostname, it adds the IP address. So in the back-end, if my server changes the IP address I have to go in manually and change the IP address. If the capability was there in Cisco to add a hostname instead of the IP address that would be really good."
"I would like to see a graphical user interface for the configuration."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to load new IOS software without performing a reboot or to be able to perform the reboot without disrupting end-users."
