Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switches

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We mainly use a Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switches for our line environment, including access level and distribution level and the core level data transmission. Of course we go from Cisco, Cisco Firewall and to protect our line environment safe from the outside work. My job is daily maintenance. This all candidates infrastructure, make them 24 hours online per day.

Pros and Cons

Pros

First of all, if I encounter something, it's really easy for me to find an answer from Google. That's because that's a very famous company, lots of people using that. And for example, what if we have a bot or something? Hard questions, hard problems. It's really easy to find out from the outside world because everybody use it.

Cons

Because currently we want to replace our carrier SD one product into Cisco one. I did a test for the Cisco with tele. That product is really good and the features and functionality is very comprehensive, but the problem is really, really hard to deploy it. I spent two or three days to set the environments up but compare with its competitors too much time, too much effort on this. It's not saying the Cisco tele is not good because it provides a very comprehensive features, but sometimes they make it too complex.

Return on Investment

Of course, it's really positive. I got courses. It's helped me to familiar with each single, each effects of the network technologies and it's really helpful to help me hands on this product like the firewall data center product and the catalyst, which is that kind of product. Really helpful.

Likelihood to Recommend

Cisco did a lot of good work on this Catalyst product line. They changed the OS into the OSXE, which is Catalysts family as well. So that means they combine the wireless controller and the Catalyst switches family and it's really easy to hands on. I think that's really helpful for me, the engineer like me and to keep the things simple because just one system over there.
