Find out in this report how the two Routers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The solution has good performance."
"Cisco Enterprise Routers are easy to use and the performance is good."
"The most valuable features are that it is more secure and easy to operate."
"Flexibility is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Most of the hardware is very stable."
"Cisco is a good product that is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it makes it possible for users to use encryption and decryption since our company aims to achieve transparency, and without it, the other system on which it is used won't support it."
"They are the best in failover switches. Their product line is excellent."
"Cisco provides most of the needed features in all the routers."
"The configuration syntax makes it easy for us to configure the device and perform troubleshooting when needed."
"The product has valuable support services."
"Internet access is a good feature."
"We use the solution for point-to-point connectivity, aggregation, and radio connectivity on mTLS."
"The solution offers good customer support and good performance."
"The setup is simple."
"Overall we have found the solution to be satisfactory."
"I have been able to connect the solution to many platforms such as Windows, Apple, and Android."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"I would like to see more boundaries and better performance."
"Cisco has acquired other companies, and due to this, there are many API-based integrations. There should be one platform that will enable a smooth integration. For example, Cisco acquired ThousandEyes, AppDynamics and Viptela. These are ideal solutions for big companies in terms of WAN connectivity. Cisco needs to ensure that there is a smooth integration mechanism in order to ease this process or point of integration."
"If Cisco can give you one license and allow you to use all the features, that would be the best thing. We are using it only as a voice gateway, and there are other options available, but we need to procure licenses to use those options. We can use it as a security device, or we can use it for connecting the LAN side, but for that, we need all those licenses. They can provide one license and allow you to use all the features. This is my recommendation for Cisco."
"Over time things have changed where Cisco has not invested in improving the orchestration and simplifying it for people who do not want to get into the details. Cisco has not gone into that focus."
"The automation capabilities need improvement."
"The solution is difficult to implement without a broad knowledge base."
"There have been multiple issues when updating iOS to Cisco routers."
"Compared to equipment by other vendors, such as Check Point, the physical size of the units is bigger."
"The configuration is complex and should be simplified."
"It would be better if local storage management was more flexible, so that unused data could be easily removed."
"There isn't really any scalability potential."
"The only problem I see is configuration loss."
"Essentially, they need to open their licensing model such that when a customer buys a device, they have a full view of all of the available licenses for it."
"They should include features like IPS for security and response."
"Lacks sufficient market availability."
"The solution's technical support could be improved."
