    I don’t know anything about Cisco’s product line. Is this a widely-used product? It sounds like it’s an older version?

      I don't know much about this product specifically, but Cisco is a big deal in the enterprise space and the affected software is an on-prem product, which means the companies are running this software on their own servers. I don't think it's actually all that easy to assess how popular a particular product in that space is as an outsider, unfortunately.

        Well, sure, I know which company Cisco is, but I was wondering about this particular product. Every big company has released a few products that don't sell and aren't used much.
