# How do Cisco data center resellers compare on implementation speed and post-deployment support quality for enterprise data centers?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I'm comparing Cisco data center resellers on two things enterprises feel most: implementation speed and post-deployment support quality. Reviews touch both, though not always on data-center projects specifically.

Honest heads-up: this is a reseller category with modest review counts on G2, so I&#39;d use it as a starting point, not a verdict. Among the Cisco data center partners here, CDW is the most-reviewed and a large, established reseller with the scale for enterprise data center work, and Sirius and Acuative are both well-rated for Cisco solutions and managed services. On your two specific criteria, implementation speed and post-deployment support, reviews don&#39;t cleanly rank them, so I&#39;d make each partner prove it: ask for their typical deployment timeline on a data center project your size, their staffing model, and exactly what post-deployment support looks like (SLAs, escalation, whether it&#39;s their team or subcontracted). Get a reference from an enterprise data center they deployed. Is your priority a fast initial cutover, or long-term run-and-support reliability? Different partners optimize for each.
