Cisco Enterprise Routers Reviews

The solution is very stable. I have not seen any downtime due to the product freezing or anything like that. It performs well and hasn't required reboots unless it's to troubleshoot with a support service provider needing configuration. It doesn't overheat and it's on 24/7. 

It would be great if there was a graphical user interface or something to interface with the router.

If I only have one LAN port in which I want to connect more than one device, I have to buy an add-on card so that I can have two LAN ports. The smaller devices and low-end routers have about four LAN ports. This solution is a high-end device but has only one. It would be preferable if they offered more LAN ports.

I don't know whether the solution can be cloud-managed. When I am away from work, it would be great if I could still have access and manage things, check the configuration, etc. Right now, I don't have a way of monitoring things if I am not at my desk.

I need a feature introduced where I can be able to tell if my provider is giving me constant capacity. The solution should be able to alert me to when the capacity fluctuates so I can go back to my provider and tell ask them why they are giving me less capacity than I am paying for.

The stability of the solution is very, very good. 

There was a time I was experiencing some issues with the low-end Cisco router, the 800 series, but I upgraded to the enterprise option and its performance has been remarkable, I have no complaints whatsoever.

We haven't attempted to scale the solution, so I can't really speak to if it's easy or difficult.

I've not engaged with Cisco technical support directly, but the resellers supporting us have been excellent. I prefer to work with the internet service providers because they are the ones who sold the Cisco router to me and they've been supporting me very well and I am happy with their assistance.

We didn't really use another solution, at least not on a large scale. We did use some small routers like Linksys for a handful of people. For the purpose of our internet connectivity from the service provider to my company, I wanted to use Cisco.

Deployment took some time. One person came in to terminate cable. Then, the next day, they sent someone to configure the router which took three hours. Some of the settings weren't quite working right, which is why it took that long. 

The initial setup was done by my internet service provider because they did not want anyone to tamper with their configuration. 

We operate a hotel and we have clients who are logging into the WiFi all the time. We need to give them good connectivity. Sometimes we get as many as 500 connections and we know that with Cisco unless the service provider lets us down, the device won't fail. It's a very good product.

I'd recommend the solution. I'd rate it ten out of ten.

Cisco Enterprise Routers are used to connect our headquarters to the other store.

Cisco Enterprise Routers is reliable and secure.

When compared to PEPLink, Cisco Enterprise Routers are less flexible, and you cannot have more than one user.

The scalability could be improved.

I have been working with Cisco Enterprise Routers for 15 years.

I started working with Cisco Enterprise Routers in 2007 or 2008.

Cisco Enterprise Routers is a stable solution.

We have approximately 400 users in our organization.

We have a team of 20 to maintain this solution.

We have contacted technical support once or twice. it's rare.

We have been customers with SAP since 2004.

We use SAP and ECC6, and we will be migrating to SAP4/Hanne in April.

I am familiar with SAP Business One, but we are not using it.

We also have East Oil, an SAP vertical solution for petroleum businesses.

We do not have any solutions on the cloud. All of our solutions are deployed on the premises.

We also work with another solution for our fueling system called Dover WAN Fusion.

We use Endpoint Security for Windows and Kaspersky.

For our email, we use lotus notes and Image Source.

For our SAP server, along with Oracle Database, we use IX Unix and Linux.

We use PEPLink in the store and Cisco in the headquarters. We've got a hybrid solution, we use two different vendors.

We have a great number of people, a significant number of engineers, in the information system.

As a manager, I don't have the details of what is involved in the setup.

I believe licensing fees are paid once per year.

I would recommend this solution to others, it's good. We are satisfied.

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

We use the on-prem deployment model. Our primary use case is for connection to the internet. For example, it's my connector to the point then the user internally browses. It's my router and a switch, just for small business clients. We use it to connect to the internet. 

The VPN is the most valuable feature of this solution. The basic clients who don't use the VPN use it mostly for connectivity. 

I've never had a client come to me with a problem with this solution.

The pricing could be improved. 

It is stable. 

It is scalable. If we are adding a network and then a branch, that is just with a press of a button but increasing internally isn't so easy. Physical scalability is easier. For example, I have a client who has funding from Nairobi then to Mombasa and they want a branch office.

In terms of the users, I have ten plants that are using this. 

With Cisco, they will help you with the solution if you don't know how to do something. 

The initial setup is straightforward. The one interface that I use for one command center and the LAN are simple to set up.

I set it up myself. I'm working on getting a partnership with Cisco.

I would rate it a nine out of ten. Nothing is perfect and Cisco is always developing and improving the product. 

I would recommend it. I sell the product and I would recommend this one as an internet solution. I get everything I need from this solution. 

Our company was contracted to change switches and routers for government offices, clinics, police departments, and armed forces. 

The solution was part of a massive upgrade in technology government-wide and we were one of many subcontractors working on the project. 

Our country is five or ten years behind in technology and generally slow to react. 

Cisco partnering with our government was very important because it motivated us to learn the solution, expand our portfolio, and move technology forward while serving as expert technicians for deployments and maintenance. 

The solution provides the best security available and simplifies the process for branches and networking. 

The solution is difficult to implement without a broad knowledge base. 

Subnetting for large organizations is complicated because you must understand the company hierarchy before starting to subnet. The process can be difficult so it helps to have experience or rely on other team members for advice. 

I have been using the solution for two years. 

I do not monitor stability in my position but the solution has a reputation for being top-notch so stability must be good. 

I only handled installations but the solution must be scalable because it was deployed across all government offices. 

Supervisors at our company partnered with technical support to ensure seamless implementations. 

The initial setup is complicated and requires knowledge of the solution. 

We opted to work in teams so we would have more knowledge in the field for implementations. Each site team consisted of 14 technicians and there were more than 1,000 technicians across all sites. 

We first analyzed existing routers and switches to provide supervisors with a list of equipment to be replaced. We then prepared installation and configuration plans to ensure seamless implementations. 

Our company replaced old hardware and worked in partnership with Cisco to configure and implement the solution.

Implementation and maintenance requires two to four technicians. 

It helped our company to learn the solution and partner with the government which includes some of the largest organizations in our country. 

Cisco has a partnership with our government and provides the main solution in Botswana. 

No other options were evaluated because our government believes that Cisco provides the best security in a comprehensive package that matches desired standards. 

I rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

We use the solution for SD-WAN. 

The solution is strong. Cisco's support cannot be compared to any other solution's support. The tool gives you more bandwidth within your network. 

The solution is expensive and difficult to manage. 

I have been working with the product for eight to ten years. 

The product is easy to scale. We have enterprise customers for the product. 

The product's installation is easy if you have Cisco's support contract. The tool's deployment depends on the enterprise's volume and size. You need at least three engineers to handle the tool's deployment. The solution's maintenance is easy. 

There is ROI with the tool's use. 

I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten and it is yearly. 

I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. The product is not advised for small-scale environments. You need to consider the cost before buying the solution. 

This product gives us connection to providers in the international network. We are customers of Cisco. 

In general, I like Cisco products. I've had a lot of training on their solutions. This product has good capabilities and provides good performance. 

For our company and for our customers, this solution is very expensive. 

I've been using this product for several years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable.

Our license doesn't include technical support and it's not essential for us. We use the documentation that Cisco provides. 

The initial setup is not too complex and we have around 20,000 end users. We have engineers and IT technicians who are able to provide us with maintenance services. 

Licensing costs are expensive for us. 

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

We use this solution primarily for branch connectivity for our customers.

It is easy to use and is very solid.

The solution could be priced better because sometimes it is expensive.

We have been using this solution for 18 years and we currently use version 16.6.

The product is very stable.

The product is very scalable.

Our experience with customer service and support has been very good.

The initial setup was straightforward and was completed in one day.

We recommend using smart licensing with this product because of the positive experience we have had with it.

I rate this solution a ten out of ten. 

The primary use for this solution is to connect branch networks to the head office.

The most valuable feature is the ease of configuration. 

Cisco could improve by reducing the delays in receiving physical devices.

I've been working with Cisco Enterprise Routers for three to four years.

This is a stable solution.

This solution is scalable as we can fulfill our requirements by adding modules.

Cisco's technical support is very good.

Positive

The initial setup was straightforward and took between three to four weeks.

We get a good ROI from this solution because the failure rate is very low, which means customers are happy with the lack of maintenance required.

The cost of this solution is very low compared to other products.

I would give Cisco Enterprise Routers a rating of ten out of ten.
