Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Center

We use it for inventory management and configuration of the switches, but we encountered some configuration errors with the 9300 switches. For inventory management it is a very useable application. In addition we use it for 9117 AP management and overview. For AP management it is our core app besides the WLC application.
  • Switch management
  • AP management
  • Configuration of devices
  • Easy to use automation for beginners
  • To continuously check the version of the switches
  • Cisco Catalyst Switches
  • Cisco AnyConnect
Implementing Anyconnect we did not know how many nodes we needed, because it was hard to determine it based on the clients number and the device's capabilities.
During the first Covid it was a game changer for us, because we were able to work from home and the company was able to exist further.
The overall experience is very positive, but we have continuous problems with VLAN segmentation, but it is a conceptual problem. Multiple authentication was used for the AnyConnect and we had some trouble implementing the methods.
