my assumption was Cisco no longer cared about that business line. Is that wrong?

- brazzledazzle 3y agoBased on their features and bug fixes in their releases and how it got progressively worse in terms of reliability/performance for the backend: I think it was clear they made a decision to stop investing/prioritizing it and only tried to fix things when they realized they had their market share absolutely annihilated in no time flat. I can't imagine it was a "surprise" to anyone in management there but I'm not sure they expected resting on their laurels to result in major blowback as fast as it did.
- tw04 3y agoVery much not the case. They just got lazy because the competition was so bad. Pandemic hit and they got destroyed with the increased traffic causing businesses to rapidly seek alternatives. IIRC Cisco owned most of the underlying infrastructure and just couldnt scale fast enough.
- sidewndr46 3y agoThat seems kind of hard to imagine that Cisco couldn't scale fast enough. But if it is, there is a total corporate failure on their part.
