Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers

We deploy Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers to couple of customers helping them with a lot of good solutions provided from this product. It has a lot of features and good options to help and configure your wireless environment.

  • APs easy to deploy and configure
  • Tags helps with deployment and config

Cons

  • Customers are happy
  • Not a lot of problems happening
