Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Center
We use Cisco Catalyst Center as go to tool for network assurance, enabling us to spot trends, gain insights, and fix issues faster. We also use the tool to solve the challenge of upgrading the firmware on thousands of devices to keep them secure, whilst minimising downtime as much as possible. The tool makes it infinitely easier to manage our estate of circa 500 switches and 2000 access points at every stage of the lifecycle from onboarding, inventory, and provisioning through to assurance, automations, and off boarding.
