Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Switches

So in our organization, Catalyst Switches is what everything is connected to get on the internet. So in our organization for ourselves we do have a catalyst center that manages all our catalyst switches and all our users are regularly connected to the catalyst switches.
  • The Switches package is very well with very low latency.
  • I would say in my opinion, it's very user-friendly or if you have been in the game for Cisco. I have with my education where we usually use Cisco, it's very user-friendly.
  • The design maybe, I don't know, maybe some black color or something maybe. Well for what it's supposed to do, which is switch packages and being the first layer of access for your network equipment, it's doing that already really well with all these new takes with the DNA center and stuff like that, we get so many information already from the products. Then I would say that it would be a software that has maybe some tweaking that could be a little bit better, stuff like that. But mostly it does what it is it's supposed to do, I would say. Very good.
  • That I don't know.
  • Webex Meetings
  • Cisco AnyConnect
So Cisco solutions, we use AnyConnect for when we connect to our office and we use mostly Cisco WebEx when we are dealing with customers or having meetings. Us internally in the company where we have events and stuff like that where it's all hands but people are from home and stuff. We have a lot of WebEx solutions like meeting rooms and meeting solutions with WebEx. So it's kind of our primary solution for when we are remote and working from home.

So in every scenario where you have to take one port and create, make it so that you can have more devices connected. So there will be like in a normal office area where you have an internet connection and you have to have 40 or 20 clients connected. That's where definitely Catalyst Switches becomes a very important part of this. The whole thing, scenarios where it's not very usable, I can't really see a scenario where you wouldn't be needing a switch to. There would be a very unlikely scenario because mostly you would need to connect more than one device to a router or something like that. So you would need to have a switch scenario I would say. Then it would be in some sort of scenario where you only had a need to have a directly connection to a router or something else where you wouldn't need to have more ports. So like a peer to peer connection or something like that. But I can't really see any other scenario where wouldn't you wouldn't be needing a switch.
