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."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."
"The solution is a high-end router that can handle a huge network with tons of traffic."
"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."
"Cisco switches have several valuable features like VLAN mapping. We seldom use that, but we find the security configurations helpful, like high availability with trading port channels and MAC filtering."
"Cisco as a whole is flexible."
"It is very scalable."
"It's for industry products, so it's easy to use."
"Good and stable operational experience with nearly no loss of hardware and very few software bugs."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the dynamic routing."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is it is easy to manage."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches have a good interface, and the documentation is detailed."
"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."
"It's very easy to configure URLs."
"I have found the solution has great standards and compatibility across all vendors."
"The installation is straightforward. We did not face any problems."
"The price could be improved by being reduced."
"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."
"I haven't heard from my engineers that they said it's excellent."
"Cisco's pricing can be a concern, particularly with support fees."
"Technical support could be better. Firmware upgrades should be better. We have an issue with upgrading the firmware. It's not upgradable. I think it should be easy to improve and upgrade the firmware."
"The pricing should be reduced so that they are more competitive."
"It could be cheaper, especially the DNA license. One DNA license is around $3,000 for a three-year contract."
"The price could be lower. It's quite expensive."
"The solution's support can use improvement because they are not very good at following up."
"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."
"We are using an old version of this solution and it could be more stable."
"It would be nice if they can provide support for local authentication protocol, which is a security feature. It is not supported right now. They already support security features, so adding some local authentication features would be very nice. Currently, they only support external databases for the stuff for the authentication feature. If they could improve the existing feature or add a feature to support local databases, local username, password authentication, I think it would be very amazing."
"We haven't had any issues with the solution."
"Integration is not easy since the device component is separate."
"Integration with other networks is possible, but you have to configure it."
