Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Netgear, Extreme and others in AV Over IP Switching."We use the VLANs to separate library, office, and individual apartments. With some of the reporting that receive, we're able to take and track down where people like to put in their own wireless routers. Sometimes they will take a DSL modem from AT&T that they brought from home, hook it in backward, and it will give rogue addresses causing issues."
"Power over Ethernet (PoE) is one of the most valuable features. It eliminates the need for power supplies every time."
"I recently discovered the DHCP feature. There is a feature with which you can make the core act as a DHCP server, and it will distribute the IPs for every device. I discovered this feature recently, and it is very nice."
"The solution is easy to implement and quick to deploy."
"The CLI is pretty much the same across all switching and routing platforms from Cisco, making deployment of new switches, replacement of damaged equipment, or upgrades to newer platforms very easy."
"The solution is extremely flexible."
"The hardware and the security are the product's valuable features"
"The most valuable feature of the solution is reliability."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"Out of the competition, Cisco switches are easily the most expensive."
"Cisco Catalyst Switches' pricing can be cheaper."
"Soon, we plan to migrate to the cloud infrastructure. It would be good if the Cisco switches worked quickly in the cloud, like their hardware devices. Ideally, they would be like OVS-DPDK, but they would work out-of-the-box."
"Cisco should support all of the features that are included with the suite."
"Cisco forces end-users to accept billing for some capabilities or services that they may not want."
"The vendor must provide mid-level switches."
"The solution could be easy to use, you need a certificate to use it."
"It would be good if they added some machine learning which would allow us to abandon the rigid rules for processing traffic priorities and, at the same time, save money, because equipment with similar logic (like DPI) is much more expensive."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
