Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

Hypeshield

What’s the latest now on this? A year ago it was all over the place - now it’s AI defense? Anyone tracking hype vs reality?

Who is asking for accountability? Everything gets hidden with fake packaging and with an excuse of innovation! No wonder competition are eating us alive x. We are a laughing stock!

It was not Desai - it was actually TG and “Co-n”ors and then G2 as usual with no basic technical know how spun his marketing bs and got himself promoted - and will continue to do so!

Keep cobbling together acquisitions and calling it innovation. We're having a field day with it :)

Cisco's version of the Apple Car....a product constantly "almost ready" but only exists as a tool to drive the hype cycle and goose the stock

Difference is, Apple has a hype cycle because investors care about it's stock, unlike Cisco

vaporware and rebrands and groupings of existing junk with new cr-ppy interface that won’t work with an insanely complex licensing structure that no one will understand and thousands of new tac cases that will further bog down the field and dilute their time. It will amount to nothing in the end anyway and market irrelevance in security will continue

New shiny object. Anyone recall the ACI and SDA debacles? Wish I had a dime for every time Cisco was going to "reinvent" networking or security.

HS will not be ready for GA for at least another 18 months. Could be 2 years before it is really ready.

How many more years of customers doing the testing Cisco didn't do will be required before it's actually usable in the field?2
