We used the Cisco Catalyst switch for our user community switches, allowing workstations, phones, printers, scanners, APs, Cameras, etc., all to be connected, segregated, and stay up.
- Security is robust!
- Support is great!
- Stacking works well.
- Cloud management would be nice.
- Not a fan of the support renewal costs.
- Kind of a pain to implement.
- Doesn't always play well with others.
- The switches are reliable and can easily stretch beyond a life cycle when needed.
- The high cost of Cisco product and support is getting old, in a world with options.
- Cloud management is a must in a modern age.
We have not benefited from this. Decision to purchase is based on needing a reliable and secure solution.
If I were to compare the Catalyst to the Meraki, I do feel more secure about the Catalyst, as Meraki was not originally a cisco product and was acquired. So, from the point of security and dependability, the Catalyst is a winner.
