We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"DNA Center is very interesting in automating the setup and monitoring as with each occurrence it gets easier to troubleshoot and provides an impression about what could be the problem.""The most valuable features are network monitoring and management.""Cisco Ethernet Switches is stable and robust.""The features that I have found most valuable with Cisco switches are that once you get your configuration you can rest assured that it will work. The OS is not going to be failing intermittently or anything like that. Once you get your configuration end-goal right, the firmware and the OS are usually very stable enough to work a long time without support. Support is needed once in a while. My experience is that the Cisco switches are usually rocket.""The performance of Cisco Ethernet Switches is better.""The features that I have found most valuable are the core reliability and the switching group. All the features are very generic switching features with high reliability. That is the main key point I can highlight.""Cisco Ethernet Switches have good performance.""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."

Cons
"In terms of features, they tick all the boxes as of now. That could be because we tailor the solution around the product. I have not seen anything that pulls me back or is not working well for me. However, there could be better integration with the network monitoring systems. It doesn't mean it is currently not there, but there could be better discoverability with some of the network monitoring systems to be able to have more visibility. When you're setting up a control room, you can have more visibility into what is going on in the network. It has been doing that, but it can do that more.""Location of customers to connect clients to the servers and transport the data and VoIP in parallel with QoS and NBAR with 802.1X.""The pricing should be reduced so that they are more competitive.""An improvement would be to change their market intention. Almost all the Cisco switches are now coming with a license called DNA. D for Delta, N for number and A for apple. That feature is required, he must purchase it and it is a mandatory thing that has been introduced. This is not matching with the Asian market.""There are instances where the commands you are familiar with might change or be replaced with newer syntax.""Cisco is not user-friendly. It would be best if you had a technical expert. The graphical user interface is more like a command line, and most functionalities are on the command line.""The solution needs to work on lowering the amount of bugs. We find them quite regularly.""Cisco could also open the API up to work closely with other systems."

"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved.""You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit.""The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
