Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series Switches
These switches are extremely affordable and do a very good job of providing multiple network drops and connectivity for labs, classrooms, and offices. Since they do provide PoE, they are excellent candidates for offices that require PoE for VOIP phones as well. They are easily managed and are great "replacement" switches. We have used them in certain scenarios where Access Points require PoE. In some instances, we have had to add a power brick, (long runs) but they will support AP's. A little more power per port would be better, but depending on the situation, they will work. Overall, I'd say they are a very good solution and would have no problem recommending them.

Cons
Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series Switches
- If you're not used to how Cisco names stuff you might search a while to find the right option.
- Sometimes active- and backup configuration can be a bit confusing.
- The price tag is rather high. You might be able to save with cheaper brands if you don't need all the features it offers.

They are consistently reliable and this switch in particular is a very affordable solution. We can place the Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series Switches gear in areas that we normally would not place a switch because it is affordable enough to make it justifiable. And because it is a reliable solution, we are confident it will continue to provide service over the long haul.

With some great features like PoE, it makes easy to install the switch in our network. You can install it anywhere you have a network socket. The fanless design is also one of the key features because it consumes much less power.

The implementation of the Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series Switches is fairly seamless, especially if you are familiar with Cisco products. We have had Brocade switch gear in place too, and the differences between the manufacturers [are] not a major issue.

Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series Switches
We have used 3Com and Broadcom switches in the past, and while they delivered more 'bang for your buck', they did not provide us with the level of assurance that we have gotten from Cisco products. In particular, higher failure rates and unsatisfactory support experiences led us to explore other options, and we eventually settled on Cisco.

The 9200 switches are a great switch for reliability and processing. We use our 9200's for Layer 2 only switching, as well as use some 9200's in routing cases as well. The 9200's is a model number we use as our primary model number for upgrading our other switches like the 2960's and 3850's.

Return on Investment
Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series Switches
- Positive impact is smooth connectivity, no downtime in production area at all
- Management of VLAN in the production area where we required multiple connectivity
- Security feature is awesome in different scenarios
- Negative impact is due to the licensing cost being too high we are thinking about other products with the same features but a lower licensing cost

Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches
- We use NFR so not really an impact. Being a Cisco shop we dont have any serious problems with ROI
- Customers love Cisco Catalyst switches as they perform great and capable of all fulfilling all customer needs. A single switch can perform as router/switch/poe/trunks/multicast (For overhead paging. school bell system etc.)
- With frequent IOS upgrades always ready to support day 1/ 0 day equipment. ROI impact is very positive.
