M&A over the past 5 years hasn't been as successful.

  That's probably true, but I'd say that 5 years is a short window to look at for Cisco (but still, not disagreeing with you). In that timespan, outside of recent M&A (Meraki, Sourcefire), Tandberg was the only big one I can think of in those years... The small M&A is hard to gauge from a product standpoint, but many of the key people acquired have stayed.
