Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Message to Cisco: STOP with the NAME CHANGES!!

Cisco cannot help itself!! They confuse everyone! Especially our ENTIRE CUSTOMER BASE!

Renaming Firewalls, Routers, Switches, FMC, CDO, HyperFabric, NEXUS HyperFabric, Nexus switch, 6000 series switch, ki-l the Catalyst Brand, bring it back, Just Cisco 8000 series…. ISR, Catalyst Router, 8000 Series Cisco Secure Router, Tetration, Cisco Secure Workload, AMP, Cisco Secure Endpoint, Cisco Smart Switch, WCS, Prime, DNA Center, Catalyst Center….DCNM, NDFC and whatever great ideas are next — Impact, GSX….

For the love of G-d people!!! Quit renaming EVERYTHING EVERY TWO YEARS!! No wonder Gartner and everybody else is so D@mn confused at our strategy!!

Pick a name and stick with it! Use actual NAMES! A PRODUCT DESCRIPTION IS NOT A NAME! Tetration was easy to remember and had a nice ring to it. Cisco Secure Workload is a description! Not a name. Everything becomes acronyms when you name products long descriptions.

Cisco Marketing has multiple personality disorder! Straighten it out now Chuck you big lug!

@p5 Wait until G2 gets to start renaming/naming sh-t. Hypershield is his baby. And the name is utterly ridiculous sounding.

It’s easier to define a woman in 2025 than a Cisco 8000

I’m a SE at Cisco and I’ve no idea what the fu-k is going on at this company in terms of products, some products have had three or four name changes and relaunches. It’s a confusing fu-k up. If we don’t understand how the fu-k are customers meant to?

When the name changes stop, we will stop the sombrero memes.

Agree, has gotten to the point that no one can understand anything anymore. Shame.
They must have entire DEPARTMENTS just dedicated on how to make names more confusing..AI this and AI that.

Lots of things are renamed because they don't research if names are in use elsewhere, patented, etc.
