Verified User Chose Cisco Catalyst IE3300 Rugged Series Switches Overall, a few vendors like Siemens, Moxa, Versitron.

User Testimonials
	Cisco Catalyst IE3300 Rugged Series Switches
Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco Well suited in areas where traditional IT personal need to have some management in a IoT development while keeping security at the for front of the deployment plan. Also offers great flexibility with the ability to purchase additional modules to expand switch port count without purchasing an entire separate switch which is extremely beneficial when space is a constraint and the ability to plan for future growth is impossible. Also the ability to just move SD card to back up switch and plug it in is great when IT staff is remote to keep warm spares onsite. Incentivized Tim Bisel Network Security Engineer Read full review
Pros	Cisco We're extremely proud of the IE3300s. We actually put them up on the cranes as well and with all the movement of the cranes, they're very sturdy and durable. We have not had issues at all with them. Incentivized John Young Network Manager Read full review
Cons	Cisco Whilst these switches for once weren't actually the most expensive, they are still not the cheapest. The IE-3XXX series in particular has great flexibility in that it offers custom options for bespoke needs. I would say Cisco focus on their software rather than hardware from experience and design, but it is by no means bad! Incentivized Verified User Read full review

Scalability	Cisco The expansion modules really allow us to use these switches for different scenarios in the way that we need them. Sometimes we need a lot of extra ports. Sometimes we need some extra ports, but also extra fiber ports to bring the network to other areas. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Return on Investment	Cisco They are grossly overpriced for our implementation, but the built in cybervision and port expansion possibility is vital for us. Able to push our security standards with ISE into IoT enviroment. Incentivized Tim Bisel Network Security Engineer Read full review
