Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Switches
Used in our academic, administrative and residence hall buildings. We use them to connect all wireless access points and wired devices within the buildings. They provide us with 10G connectivity between data closets and 1G with UPOE out to the edge devices. Our clients want reliable dependable connectivity, and the Catalyst switches provide that for us.
Pros
- Command line configuration is very easy to mass deploy config changes and base configurations.
- 1x authentication
- Segmentation
Cons
- All bugs publically available and not hidden behind Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for "internal" bug id
- Longevity of recent IOS software releases
- Adding new features to older stable tested trusted software code
- Able to quickly deploy these as we use them throughout our entire infrastructure.
- Saves us time from learning other vendors switching products as we already know how Cisco products operate.
Better features and easier implementation on the Cisco products compared to the others.
