"The solution is basically issue-free."
"We have a good technical support provider in Turkey that offers support, and we work closely with Cisco. Everything is sorted."
"Tech support has always been good."
"Technical support has always been helpful."
"What we love about the Cisco switches is that they are very reliable. You can deploy them and go to sleep, and you can be sure that nothing is going to go wrong. Our initial equipment was installed by a Chinese manufacturer named Fiberhome a couple of years ago. Their switches were called S engines. They worked, but some days, you just wake up, and the switch has popped up. It was a lot of crisis. Therefore, we are in the process of trying to take out all their switches and replace them with Cisco switches. We are getting good results in terms of reliability and even technical support."
"Cisco switches have several valuable features like VLAN mapping. We seldom use that, but we find the security configurations helpful, like high availability with trading port channels and MAC filtering."
"The cost and the integration with other solutions could be better."
"I think there's nothing that needs to be improved because the company is no longer in existence."

"When we try to do configuration changes sometimes it malfunctions."
"The interface and dashboard could look better."
"Because of the cyber attacks, they should focus more on VoIP."
"The solution's reliability should be improved."
"To keep up with the market, the solution should have better evolution and innovation."
"The cost is very prohibitive both for us as well as other organizations. It's very expensive to buy Cisco switches. Among our colleagues, we find that we're not alone in thinking it's too high. Everyone's complaining about this."
"An improvement would be to change their market intention. Almost all the Cisco switches are now coming with a license called DNA. D for Delta, N for number and A for apple. That feature is required, he must purchase it and it is a mandatory thing that has been introduced. This is not matching with the Asian market."
"Cisco could also open the API up to work closely with other systems."
"The local support resources for Cisco in Bangledesh are very poor and should be increased."
