For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.
How are customer service and support?
We work with the Amazon team for support, not Cisco. We are neither happy nor unhappy with the support. It could be better. I am missing a single pane of glass, where I can see all the connections, etc.
What about the implementation team?
The Amazon team helped us implement the product. It was a good experience. It work now.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was easy. It was almost a one-click process to purchase CSR.
The product is too expensive on the AWS Marketplace.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We looked at Aviatrix, but then decided to use Cisco CSR.
We decided to go with Cisco because it was more known in the network sector than Aviatrix. Also, we have a long time relationship with Cisco.
If I could decide now, I think I would go with Aviatrix because it's more cloud native than Cisco CSR. CSR works and does the job, but more in the old way. The connection with everything, it works. However, Aviatrix is more cloud native, so I would get the nice single pane of glass computer. Even the connections, it would be more intricate and easier to use.
What other advice do I have?
We use only the cloud version of the product.
