What do you like best about Cisco Catalyst Switches?

The Cisco Catalyst switches are among the best on the market and therefore the best you can install in your company. They have a number of configuration options and adapt to any type of needs. There are numerous models for the size of the company, from small switches with few ports to large chassis with many cards and ports. Cisco is in continuous update of the IOS of these devices and the support they have is unbeatable. There is also a large community behind them, so when questions arise, it is easy to find someone who has experienced the same thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Catalyst Switches?

It is complicated to find negative things about these switches, perhaps to mention a drawback, they release some IOS with a bug, but they take very little time to fix it and release another that solves the problem. When you have a problem, you can call CISCO, and they quickly resolve the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cisco Catalyst Switches solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my company, everything we have is Cisco Catalyst, for performance, security, and reliability there is nothing better. Additionally, we are integrating all the switches with CISCO ISE, which gives us infinite power to do things. Also, the switches we have provide us with POE, with which we power all the phones via RJ45 cable, avoiding power transformers at user stations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cisco Catalyst Switches?

Gigabit speed, SFP+ ports and the automated deployment, configuration and software deployment via the free APIC software. We have well over 200 locations and have never hand any issue with these switches. The hardware has been completely trouble free, easy to install and virtually silent (only the 48 port models have active cooling, which only ramps up when the temperature rises. The 8 and 24 port models are completely passive cooled and therefore 0dB noise.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Catalyst Switches?

As long as you don't need very advanced features these switches are fine, setting up the APIC software was a bit cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
