Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Switches

We are using it as an access switch in our network, so it's connectivity through the whole organization for office users, IoT, wireless, logistics, commerce, and everything in that organization.
  • I think the switch is a fast switch. What we also admire about it is the enhanced power over ethernet functionality. It has higher power levels to be used for wireless, for other products that use the power over ethernet, the quick uplinks, 10 gig uplinks, the possibility to run other applications on it, like a thousand eyes clients, and so on.
  • One thing that we would really like is for the product to be a bit smaller because it's pretty big. You need full-size cabinets to place it. We don't always have the room, so we would like a smaller version to get optimum use of the space we have.
  • Difficult to answer. I hope it has a positive influence on that. The part that I'm most positive about is the fact that in the construction with this switch, the hardware and software licensing are being separated through the smart license, so you can reuse the license on other hardware. On the other hand, we are using it too short to have a real influence on that.

Are you happy with Cisco Catalyst Switches's feature set?

Yes

Did Cisco Catalyst Switches live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Cisco Catalyst Switches go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Cisco Catalyst Switches again?

Yes

I think it makes sense in pretty much everything. It's a good switch. It doesn't make sense if you want some more ruggedized usage, external cabinets, and towards, then you have the industrial line. But for general usage, I think you can use it pretty much anywhere.
