It’s official – customers think Cisco gear is overpriced. Well, at least the majority of readers who voted in our informal poll, which you can find in last week’s “Schools dump Cisco” story.
I don’t think anyone should be surprised by the poll results – I think the pricing debate has been an issue with Cisco customers for some time. But as some readers point out in the comments to the story, Cisco has wide ranging support, a strong channel and a strong user community (just like our community of Cisco Subnet readers). But is that really justification for Cisco to charge, or for users to spend, a premium buying the Cisco brand?
