Cisco Enterprise Routers Reviews

We use the solution to create a secure connection between IT devices and the ISP network.

The solution allows us to connect our web applications to the systems and enable security control on the ISP network.

The solution has a robust performance and provides essential features for router switching and operations. Also, its technical support team is well-trained, and some hold CCNA certifications.

The solution's price could be better. Also, they could provide combined features for total security, including access points for Wi-Fi. In addition, there needs to be an integration with SD-WAN.

We have been using the solution for more than 30 years.

The solution is very stable.

The solution's scalability depends on the type of device.

The solution's technical support services are excellent. 

The solution's initial setup process is easy. Although, it might appear complicated compared to devices based on the graphical interface. An expert can deploy it in 30 minutes to an hour. At the same time, an end user might take a day to complete the process.

We received technical assistance from the solution's distributors and resellers.

The solution is expensive.

The solution is very stable compared to other products.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We are using Metro circuits to connect branches on the different bins and I use Cisco Enterprise Routers to route the traffic.

The main reason for using Cisco Routers is for the proprietor routing protocol that it has.

The security could improve for Cisco Enterprise Routers. I understand there's a security appliance that is separate, but in terms of the router, there can be improvements made to prevent unwanted users from accessing the router or trying to manipulate the traffic that is passing through it.

I have been using Cisco Enterprise Routers for approximately 10 years.

Cisco Enterprise Routers is a stable solution.

We have not had a problem with the stability of Cisco Enterprise Routers.

I would rate the technical support of Cisco Enterprise Routers an eight out of ten.

Having to do system troubleshooting and assisting takes time out from the operation of the business. From an operational or technical standpoint, we who install or implement the devices need to be hands-on. Especially when it's a physical problem, not necessarily programming or configuration. There are times when you have issues with a module or it's not operating the way it's supposed to operate and you don't know if it's a manufacturer cause. Trying to troubleshoot these issues should be easier.

Okay. Right. And what advice would you give to other people who want to implement Cisco Enterprise Routers?

I am a trained Cisco engineer, the implementation was not that complicated.

Based on my experience with other routers, Cisco has proven to be reliable. And from the routing aspect of things, it is really the product of choice for most of my customers. Whenever they want to implement any networking, most of them will request Cisco products.

I rate Cisco Enterprise Routers a nine out of ten.

Comparing the 3900 to the 3800 routers, the class of routers has improved over the 3800. Most of the modules are gigabit ports and you can receive 10 gig ports with them, compared to the older version where it's a 100 megabit port. 

Based on how the industry is going, where most connections are way over 100 megabits. If you're receiving an internet connection from a business customer, it's going to be more than 100 megabits, and sometimes 250 megs, or even 500 megabits. To have a router that is 100 megabits defeats the purpose of having a faster internet connection. The 3900 Series really solved that problem, where there are gigabit ports. If you want to aggregate ports to receive, for example, 10 gigabits or more, you can always do that by putting in a module SSP port. It has improved a lot.

Cisco Enterprise Routers are the best. I am satisfied with this product.

The commands are easy to understand.

While the commands are easy to understand, and you will find a mixture, if you put a question mark on them then it will create problems.

The improvements will improve our company management and our system compatibility.

I have been working with Cisco Enterprise Routers for two years.

It is stable. We have not had any issues with stability.

It's a scalable product. We have a total of 5,000 employees in our company that we use Cisco Enterprise Routers for.

We are troubleshooting for our clients. Our company is a telecom based company. We provide internet data to all of India.

We have three companies on our site with technical issues that require immediate support.

We have worked with other routers, but Cisco is the best.

Cisco is easy to deploy and easy to set up.

The price is reasonable.

We pay for licensing every year.

I would rate Cisco Enterprise Routers a nine out of ten.

The most valuable feature is the command prompt, which is very user-friendly.

There have been multiple issues when updating iOS to Cisco routers. 

I've been using Cisco Enterprise Routers for four years.

The stability of Cisco Routers is fine, and their performance is good.

Cisco Routers are very scalable.

The initial setup was of medium difficulty.

Cisco's prices could be cheaper.

I would rate Cisco Enterprise Routers as ten out of ten.

We use this solution to secure and separate our network. We use the router to install the internet gateway.

When there is a problem, it hampers the scope of work. So if they could reduce the response time, it'll be helpful to us. In addition, the UI could be more user-friendly.

We have been using this solution for the last two years. It is deployed on-premises.

It is a stable solution. Cisco devices are very stable.

It is very scalable. We have two sites, our head office site and our factory site. We have a total of about 1600 users on the factory site. We only require four to five people for maintenance, and the maintenance has different levels, admin, physical and support maintenance. There are three people in admin maintenance and three to four in support and other maintenance.

We have not used any technical support from Cisco.

We used Cisco Router 2911 before this.

There was some complexity in setting up the existing network to the new network. It took almost six months to implement. However, the timeline was impacted by COVID. There were no issues with the product, but the issue was upping the tunnel and upgrading systems.

Our vendor and partner helped us with installation. The vendor did the initial configuration, and now we are taking care of the maintenance.

I rate the pricing a seven out of ten.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We use routers for communicating between different networks.

The solution could be more stable and secure. 

We've been using Cisco Enterprise Routers for the past two decades.

The solution is quite stable, although it could be more so. 

We have the need to upgrade and plan to do so at the requisite time. 

We have had occasion to contact technical support in the case of clarifications, other practices involving new software and firmware upgrades. 

We are very satisfied with the response time. 

The solution is easy to install. It is so easy. It does not present an issue. 

We require six people, working around the clock, for the deployment and maintenance. 

We do not have an issue with the price. 

The license is perpetual and is in-built to the router upon purchase of the device. However, they recently changed the licensing model to one which is subscription-based for periods of three, five or seven years. The licensing fee is okay and matches industry standards, which is the benchmark. 

In the past we evaluated Juniper Routers. The sole difference between this solution and that of Cisco Enterprise Routers is that the former has a somewhat more complex operating system, which is not very user-friendly. 

We have not made use of Juniper Routers. 

There are around 9,000 people in our organization and we have approximately 120 routers.

I would recommend Cisco Enterprise Routers to others. 

I use the router to connect to the internet.

The stability of the solution's router is its most valuable feature.

The configuration needs improvement. Most routers, like HP or Aruba, use a UI interface. Those solutions are similar and uniform. It's easier for us compared to Cisco because with Cisco you are not using normal commands. They need to enhance the UI to make it more usable.

The stability of the solution is fantastic. We haven't touched it for five years now. You just set it and forget it.

We don't contact Cisco technical support directly. If we have a problem, we can contact any one of the Cisco suppliers and they are able to give good support.

I didn't previously use a different solution.

The initial setup was easy. Deployment only took one day.

I'd recommend the solution. Once you plug it in, you can basically forget about it because there are never any issues. It just works, and that's great. I'd rate it ten out of ten.

Cisco Enterprise Routers are used when you have networks with multiple branch offices connecting to a single point. 

Cisco support is the most valuable aspect because most technicians in the industry understand how to interface with a Cisco product. When we contact support, we know we'll probably get the answer whether we have to escalate the request to a new engineer or not. 

The cost is the biggest drawback of Cisco products. They say you'll never get fired for buying Cisco, but it's going to cost you. 

Cisco Enterprise Routers are highly stable. You can usually set them up and forget about them. 

Cisco Enterprise Routers are highly scalable. We can upgrade to a higher appliance depending on our needs and bandwidth. 

I rate Cisco Enterprise Routers nine out of 10 overall. They're reliable, scalable, and have the background support any enterprise solution requires.
