Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches
The 3650 and up allowed us to collapse our core and standardize our distribution on a single platform all of our needed internal routing and switching requisites are fulfilled by one platform. We were not able to do this affordably with any other switching platform.
- Flexible POE options
- Moderate prices
- Adequate connectivity options
- For us, nothing.
- Unified edge and core solution
- Reduces management complexity
- Diverse options at relatively affordable prices
We have found it was relatively easy to deploy network virtualization at scale by standardizing on a platform
Both customization and manageability are straight foreword with the most current iterations of the Catalyst platform.
Catalyst is radically different than the competitors in Extreme and HP. While Extreme and HP do have better prices they do lack the features necessary to consolidate on a singular platform and encompass many routing features exclusive to Catalyst.
