Complex and proprietary Cisco products Following are excerpts from an article by Dave Molta in Network Computing, reviewing Cisco's Aironet 350 802.11b WLAN product offering. While the products get a good rating, "complex" and "proprietary" are mentioned several times. Note especially the comment at the end of the last excerpt: "Cisco's engineers clearly understand the issues surrounding the development of manageable WLAN security. They have implemented a system that is the best available. But it adds significant complexity to any WLAN deployment while locking you into a proprietary Cisco architecture. You'll have a secure network, as long as all the components say "Cisco" on the box." "Although the improvements in the 350 series are significant, network managers will need to think long and hard before deploying the security system. While it is clearly the most robust system available, it is also complex and proprietary. Yes, complexity is often the cost of achieving robust security, but most organizations will be better served by living with current system limitations while waiting for the enhanced security framework now being hammered out by IEEE." networkcomputing.com
