Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches

The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches are used as access switches (stack and single switch) and core/access (in smaller branch office) switches.
  • Stackable
  • Power Stack works well.
  • Possibility of using SDA.
  • No idea.
Our organization doesn't use these features yet, but we will probably use them in the near future, therefore Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches were the best possible choice for a modern company.
For now, we manage our hardware in classical way, but in the future, we plan to manage it in a modern more advanced way, therefore, Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches are the best choice for our growing company.
We have and use all of the mentioned devices, but each device has its role in the company. When we don't need as much "power" we use the 9200 series when we need a bit more "power" we use the 9500 series, but overall the 9300 series is the most versatile solution. It's a worthy successor of 3650 series.
When you have a new office that isn't yet fully populated you can place one Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switch, then with ease, you can add more of them in a stack to serve the network to new users. Also, the power stack works great, if you don't have a reliable power source, you will love it. You can also use it as a small core for a new network environment.
