I have used Cisco switches from various series, including 2900, 3700, 3800, 4500, and 6500. Nowadays, most solutions are cloud-based. Cisco switches are more suitable for someone like me who is quite familiar with traditional devices. I would recommend the solution to others. I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

ICT manager at Thys Bouwprojecten

When considering using Cisco products, the first and foremost aspect to evaluate is your budget. It's essential to weigh your financial capabilities. Secondly, you should take into account your end users' expectations and future needs. It's crucial to plan for what you require now and what you might need in the future. Looking ahead is essential. If your budget allows, choosing Cisco is a wise decision. However, if your financial resources are limited, it's not advisable to opt for a low-end Cisco solution and expect enterprise-level service. In the world of IT, price and functionality often go hand in hand. Investing more typically results in obtaining greater functionality, but the key question is whether you'll utilize all those features.

I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

I rate Cisco Linksys ethernet switches five out of 10. They're not very feature-rich, but they have sufficient features for the market segment they occupy. Don't expect a ton out of them. They're good for what they're designed for, but if you try to stretch them, they're just not going to perform the way you want.

Curtis Anderson

Ceo & President at TNL

For the home user or end-user, that doesn't have a high-end back-end running. I usually recommend the Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. I recommend Linksys more than I do Netgear because of the simple installation.

For home and small office use where you don't have a major back-end, I would recommend Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches.

Using Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches in a commercial residential environment where you have a lot of people using them, with individual configuration. I would give them an eight or a nine out of ten because I have had problems, but most of it is user-related. If they understood the documentation it would be better implemented, they would understand, and I probably wouldn't run across problems. Most of the time the problem is where they're plugging them in backward. They don't understand that just because the plug fits on the back does not mean it is correct. There's a reason why you have a WAN and a LAN side. The documents do not explain it well enough to people. The installer gives them a little bit more information so they know not to plug in the other way. That can cause some havoc.

Using Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches in a commercial office environment, non-heavy back-end or light back-end, they seem to work well. Under another router, they seem to do well and are stable. I don't have a lot of issues with them. I typically install them and forget about them. Most of the issues I have is their equipment is the hardware might fail and had to switch the equipment, and then gave them their ID and password. However, getting them back up's and running is pretty simple. I reset everything, turn everything back, change the passwords, and everything is back working.

When it comes to the heavy back-end commercial implementation, Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches do work when you have a heavy back-end. I don't see them used as much there and therefore cannot give a rating. I have not seen them in that environment as much to judge them on.

I rate Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches a nine out of ten.

Akram Khan

Director of Information Technology at UniTeller Financial Services

The advice I would offer to others in implementing Cisco Lynksys Switches is that somebody on the team has to be well aware of basic networking and how the search network works. That will make them easier to use and implement.

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate the Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches depending on the class. For example, I think the Cisco 9300s are almost an eight-out-of-ten.

If you want to be a Cisco master you need to have a good understanding of the command line and how to use it, which is difficult for some administrators. Many people would prefer solutions that you can configure through a GUI.

It is easier to configure an SPC as opposed to a Cisco switch.

People are finding alternative solutions because of the price. The same happened with Firewall landscapes, people are moving away from checkpoint and Cisco and going with Juniper or FortiGate, because of the pricing and licensing model.

I would suggest that people continuously upskill themselves to remain relevant in the industry.

Cisco is absolutely the very best in its class. It's a no-nonsense type of solution. It's really a matter of taking it out of the box, setting it up and be up and running in no time. And you know you can walk away with confidence, knowing that the solution will work. There will be no hiccups, bugs, bug fixes, nothing. It's a simple solution that works every time.

On a scale from one to 10, I would rate it a 10. I really love this solution. In the next release, I would really love to see a list option. Cisco currently has various feature seats that the customer can choose from. I would really like to see the use of that. And I would like to see that included in the standard features. So once the customer buys the hardware, they get all the features and everything's enabled. So that's what I would recommend from my side and what'd I'd really love to see.

Managing Director at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

Linksys is still on the market, but it's more Cisco now. It all depends on the customer's needs and budget.

The problem is the Java installation because most of them rely on Java, and that is the problem with all devices.

If you want a new modern dashboard or management utility, you have to replace the devices.

It's not easy to improve all of the functionalities, and there are new devices on the market.

It cannot be changed and we understand that.

Some devices have more features than what the customer needs or can use.

The computers are more powerful than the capabilities of the ordinary user.

They have already improved. I recently installed a Cisco device, the Cisco FirePower, and it's completely different they are not reliant on Java as they were before.

New devices have a new approach in the next generation in the firewall devices. It is changing.

It's not perfect but I am satisfied.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
