Cons
"When we try to do configuration changes sometimes it malfunctions.""The cost and the integration with other solutions could be better.""I think there's nothing that needs to be improved because the company is no longer in existence.""The technical support services need improvement in terms of communication.""The configuration of 3Com H3C Switches could be better."

"The pricing for this solution needs to be improved.""Their performance should be improved.""Linksys support is subpar.""Cisco offers a wide range of features, and in the enterprise and mid-segment market in Europe, we make use of most of them. Some features are essential for our operations, while others may go unused. The feature set provided by Cisco is comprehensive, and there's little more we could ask for. It would be a nice addition if, in the future, Cisco switches could incorporate artificial intelligence to provide proactive feedback and guidance instead of having to search for solutions ourselves. This development is likely to come with time, and we'll patiently await such enhanced functionality.""Another area of improvement is scalability.""The product must be made cloud-based.""Pricing is an area with a shortcoming since the solution is expensive.""The solution's price could be better."
