Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Switches
- Catalyst 2960-L Series
Cisco Catalyst 2960-L Series Switches are used as network switches. Ours is a small- to medium-size startup, and it serves perfectly for ethernet connectivity. It is well designed and seems like a secure interface that can handle large enough bandwidth to support our day-to-day operations in the office. It is very reliable and we have not had any problems so far with the device.

We do not use these particular features of the Cisco Catalyst 2960-L Series Switches. I am not so capable of commenting on the usefulness of the feature.
The customization and manageability of the network switches are extremely helpful when integrating the Cisco Catalyst 2960-L Series Switches. It was extremely easy to reconfigure the switch when the company was moved from one location to another, and the adaptability of the network switch helped a lot in getting the network up and running in no time.
Cisco Catalyst 2960-L Series Switches could handle more bandwidth and are more stable compared to the NETGEAR Ethernet Switches. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-L Series Switches are more pricy. I feel the price is worth it when you out weigh the pros and cons of the system, as reliability is very important for the smooth operation of a technology business.
