Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Switches
We use Cisco Catalyst Switches at our access and distribution layers. They facilitate communications throughout our sites. The packet capture feature on the Cisco Catalyst Switches 9000 series is extremely helpful for troubleshooting. The Cisco Thousandeyes integration is also helpful for gathering more in-depth data directly from the device itself.
Pros
- reliability
- packet capture
- thousand eyes integration
Cons
- bug fixes
- power consumption
- boot time
- Providing connectivity to tens of thousands of users across multiple campuses
- looking forward to implementing ISSU on the 9k series
- Catalyst center has been very helpful for operations
- Cisco AnyConnect
In our experience, Cisco Anyconnect performance has been spotty at times.
