Cisco Catalyst Switches Reviews
What do you like best?
Cisco Catalyst Switches can work years without any interruption, that is their so-called biggest advantage. Because reliability is the most needed element in computer networks. Also based on my experiences cisco devices do not have any problems when working together with other vendors. When administrator knows the CLI , then almost everything is possible to configure and everything can be done in as shortest time as possible. Another best thing that Cisco is offering is the support. They are really eager to help you with any kind of problem you have with the device or service. I have only positive experiences when working with Cisco. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Me gusta la calidad de un equipo que muestra eficiencia a la hora de trabajar, me gusta que la compañía Cisco trabaje al 100% para mejorar sus equipos y así poder brindar software de calidad a sus clientes. Para mi unos de las mejores compañías de estos equipos de red, seria CISCO ya que me ofrece gran comodidad a la hora de interconectar mis equipos y aún más fácil a la hora de administrarlos y me gusta que me siento muy cómodo con contar con equipo de alta seguridad y rendimiento como los son los catalyst de Cisco.

What do you dislike?
Esta pregunta es muy complicada de responder debido a que una empresa con compañías en todo el mundo y miles de comunidades que buscan tener estos equipos en sus empresas, hace que la compañía de CISCO trabaje para evolucionar cada día y brindar nuevas actualizaciones a sus clientes ya sea en temas seguridad o rendimiento en la red, pero un punto tal vez negativo en esto es que los equipos se vuelven muy costosos y por eso muchas otras empresas se ven en busca de obtener otros equipos alternos igual de buenos como Microtik o equipos de otras marcas.

La serie de switches de Cisco son dispositivos de alta tecnología, me gusta porque realmente tiene todo lo que necesita una LAN, cualquier compañía con una infraestructura seria necesita implementar un switch y lo mejor sería Cisco de cualquiera de sus dependiendo del requisito de la red, Me gusta mucho la cantidad de características y funciones que tiene, tiene una variedad de configuraciones bastante buenas para implementar varias tecnologías, como VLAN, STP, Etherchannel, Portsecurity, entre otras, que son necesarias para una red de negocios.

What do you dislike?
Realmente es un punto que debe tenerse en cuenta porque muchas personas no manejan este rango de Cisco, lo que realmente es un punto negativo para el conmutador de Cisco es su curva de aprendizaje, es muy larga, tiene varios meses e incluso años para aprender cómo Funciona, sus configuraciones, etc., es bastante complejo, pero una vez que tenga el conocimiento básico, es posible hacer muchas cosas increíbles, aunque también podríamos decir que sus precios son algo más altos en comparación con otras compañías que hacen Switch pero en consideración Podría mejorar para esa marca.

One network, one OS, wired and wireless. The convergence is seamless with the Cisco Catalyst 9000 portfolio. Policies are applied consistently for security, automation, and assurance, while segmentation separates devices and users to help reduce the attack surface.They support the industry’s highest density 802.11ac Wave 2 deployments with Cisco Multigigabit Technology Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
It lacks a controller with integrated visibility between Cisco DNA and Cisco ACI. They can be expensive for certain customers. The installed base is still not very high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you like best?
This is a great quiet fan less smart switch. The web GUI management interface makes it easy to configure the switch.It is a great option for those who wants to upgrade from an unmanaged switch. Each ports default to layer 2, but you can change each port to layer 3. VLANs are easy to configure with the VLAN wizard. Configure your existing DHCP to assign the switch an IP address (MAC is on the box and switch) and plug the switch into your existing network to get started, otherwise it uses its a default IP.

One of the things that I like this sw range is its easy configuration at the VLAN level and port mode assignment, this catalyst range offers giga speed ports, thanks to this it improves the sending of packages in each of its ports. It also offers the security part with the port-security protocol, which helps us to have greater security in our infra-structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
I do not like the sw of this range in several of the protocols of layer 2 are exclusive of cisco, and when we have an infrestrutura of direfente manufacturers is useless many of the commands. It would be very useful to standardize the protocols so that all manufacturers use it and get more out of this equipment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are using the 6880 switches as our core and distribution layer through our network. We have about 60 of them deployed. We run MPLS and MP-BGP with a 3 layer VPN on them. We use 4510, 9410 and 9300 as our aces layer. We use sub-interface on the 6880 com toon access layer and GLBP for our gateway protocol and it allows us not to use a limit spanning tree in our environment.Its Very easy to manage.Great warranty.

We have had some issues with 6800 switches more so the 6840s we had to replace them with 6880 because of hardware issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The handling of these devices is very practical, the catalys series in one of the most complete series of switches that are on the market, since it has many security features and very useful protocols developed by Cisco. Personally, it is the most complete team since at the configuration level, having the basic knowledge of Cisco networks, you can implement it in your internal network without any problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
One of the failures that I find to the catalyst series is the capacity of momoria that manages, the problems that occur are a little serious since it does not allow the access to manage the equipment and slowness in the process of the packages in the network.

Las empresas que eligen Cisco saben que la inversión inicial de costes puede parecer
engañosa. Es fácil de olvidar que el coste de la compra inicial de su red asciende
tipicamente al 20 por ciento de los costes totales de propiedad. A menudo, el 80 por
ciento restante procede de los gastos de costes operacionales, mantenimiento y soporte.
Sin embargo, con Cisco el coste total de propiedad desciende, debido a la reducción de
costes operacionales durante la vida del producto.
Las empresas que compran únicamente un switch por precio (por ejemplo, escogiendo un
producto de consumo, en vez de uno diseñado específicamente para empresas), no
suelen tener en cuenta el impacto de su decisión. Generalmente, no tienen en cuenta la
importancia de considerar factores tales como la escalabilidad, si la empresa creciera, y la
fiabilidad. Esto resulta a menudo en costes ocultos tales como caídas de red y pérdida de
productividad.
El soporte técnico y las opciones de financiación de Cisco ofrecen a las empresas soporte
continuo, ayudando a superar muchos de estos problemas y añadir valor al dinero a largo
plazo.
Incluso porque la tecnología de Cisco es de la más alta calidad, y está diseñada para ser
fácil de gestionar, el coste total de propiedad es generalmente más bajo que los
productos de la competencia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
No me disgusta ningún aspecto, lo único que todos sabemos es que el precio de los equipos Cisco es un poco alto, con lo cual se hace difícil en ciertas situaciones la compra del mismo equipo.
Ventajas en contra del precio
Fiabilidad (simplemente no pueden afrontar los costes debidos a la inactividad del
sistema).
Seguridad avanzada (protegiendo los activos de sus datos y por consiguiente la
integridad y continuidad de su negocio).
Tecnología que pueda crecer con su negocio (para que puedan capitalizar el potencial
de la tecnología y aplicaciones, tales como VoIP y tecnología inalámbrica).
Garantía de Producto (de modo que sepan que la inversión de tecnología está
protegida). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We purchased the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X model for four branches to be used as an access switch. I'm really enjoying it, until then I've used basic features like VLANs, dhcp snopping, and bandwidth management. It was very easy to set up and they are working very well. We need to use technical support two times and everything went well, very quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

catalyst switches are excellent switches that help a small or medium company in the solution of scalability, they are switches that adapt to the environment that each company has. It has very solid solutions, such as portsecurity, segmentation of networks (VLANS). This is one of the functions that I like most about switches because it is very easy to do and configure it, compared to other competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

what disgusts me about this product are its high cost, because being one of the most recognized brands and used in the world of networks is put as first place and with a high price but for a good solution offering good features and services . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
