No

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

Yes

Yes

Yes

Would you buy Cisco Catalyst Switches again?

Yes

I think I am likely to tell a colleague that, in my opinion, Cisco Catalyst Switches are well suited for high impact networks that just have to work. Perhaps less suited where price is at a premium. The ecosystem and available training and documentation is second to none.
