Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Switches
As a Presales Engineer, I always recommend using the Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches as Access switches either as stand-alone or as a stack.
Pros
- Stacking
- Power over Ethernet support
- Stable IOS-XE
Cons
- To add a GUI
- To reduce the DNA period
- To provide simpler management and monitoring solution other than DNAC.
- Cisco Switches in general are expensive compared to other vendors such as Aruba or Fortinet.
- Cisco DNA on Catalyst is a bit expensive and can increase the overall price of the switch.
To be honest, in the market of Saudi Arabia, we did not receive request for such advanced features.
We always recommend that our customers use Cisco Stacking (both data and power), however, when it comes to more advanced management solutions we recommend third-party solutions such as Manage Engine due to Cisco Management products' high price.
