Cons
  • The portdensity is poor (when compared to competition) which means that the IE-switches takes more space then competition.
  • The price is not competitive, only possible to ship/sell to customers that are set on the Brand. To say that Cisco has more features (to motivate that these units cost more then the double) is not correct, the competition solves the same stuff differently.

Return on Investment
  • Before implementing these switches, production lines were constantly stopped due to network failures. This had a huge financial impact on the company.
