Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Switches

  • Catalyst 2960 X/XR Series
  • Catalyst 3650 Series
  • Catalyst 3850 Series
We use them for our access layer switches. We implement QoS on them for a better user experience.
  • We use stacking technology to help with redundancy.
  • Great uptime, rarely do they fail.
  • The MultiGig technology - we enjoy using it for our access points.
  • Found cosmetic bugs with PoE. Seems to affect a few versions of code.
  • Seems to be a little pricier than competitors.
  • Positive - were doing end of life, they haven't died so we have had them for years.
  • QoS has helped with our security dept streaming video over an uplink.
We've just started using automation to save time on doing other tasks.
We are working on implementing services such as ISE, and automation with NETCONF.
We're an all Cisco shop, no other competitors have been bought or used.
  • Great access and distribution layer switches.
  • Easy to configure, have redundancy options, and great throughout.
