Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Ethernet Switches

We standardized on Cisco in order to achève the best available uptime and lost support overhead. Cost is high, and you need to ensure that you have sufficient technical knowledge within the team to support them, but their performance and reliability have been very good. We were lucky to have a very good Cisco account manager who supported us well with our existing equipment and future purchasing plans.
  • Quality of software is very high. Ability to configure is very high. Scaleability is very high.
  • Ability to tap into a vast network of knowledge outside of your organization is excellent.
  • Availability of training courses for this equipment is also very good.
  • Longer guarantee period and replacement program.
  • Better support of small businesses.
  • Ensuring the feature upgrades do not cost the earth!
  • Reliability, reduced downtime, expandability.
  • Faith that they will just work.
  • Ensuring compatibility across enterprise.

Reliability just not good enough - Did not work well with Cisco equipment - still do not know which vendor was at fault!
I highly recommend Cisco Ethernet Switches for medium and large enterprises - Not recommended for smaller organizations unless you have good in-house skills or completely outsource to a Cisco accredited partner. Budget accordingly and ensure that you get pricing support direct from Cisco. If you are not large enough to do this then reconsider your choice of vendors.
