Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Switches
- Catalyst 2960 X/XR Series
- Catalyst 9200 Series
- Catalyst 9300 Series
We use Cisco Catalyst switches exclusively for the organization's Access and Core switching. They provide us with ultra reliable connectivity for every location of our school district.
- Reliable operation.
- Very high percentage of uptime.
- Very seldom do any units experience a failure.
- Certain models do not have dual power supply options.
- Certain models do not have SFP+ interfaces on them, therefore 10G connections are not able to be utilized.
- More product offerings on small form factor switches.
- Higher level of power output for POE.
- They have provided reliable network connectivity for our school district and its 6000 students and 1000 staff.
We have not deployed any of advanced customization or management features.
We had about 15 different brands of network switches before adopting Cisco, and were not satisfied with any of them. Percentage of breakage on these units was very high.
