Cisco Enterprise Routers Reviews

We primarily use the solution for our final customers. The solution is used for communication. We are a service provider, and we offer our customers public networks as a service. Our customers typically need an internet connection or MPLS.

The solution offers very good networking capabilities.

The stability is excellent.

The consistency of the configuration has been very good.

The performance of the devices is very reliable.

The initial setup can be a little bit difficult. They should try to make it easier to set up for new users.

I’ve used the solution for maybe ten to 15 years. I’ve used it for over a decade. It’s been a while.

The solution is quite stable and the devices are reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn’t crash or freeze. It’s been great.

The solution is extremely scalable. It’s not a problem expanding it as necessary.

We’ve used the solution’s technical support. We found them helpful and responsive and we are quite satisfied with the level of support provided.

The initial setup can be hard. That said, we have a good amount of experience. It’s easier to manage the process if you have a good understanding of the solution in general.

I’m not sure how long it took to deploy the solution. For a big project, it might take as long as two weeks, however, a small deployment might only take a few hours. Every deployment differs according to size and requirements.

We tend to set up the solution for our clients. We have some engineers that work directly with end customers.

We use the most recent version of the solution, however, I do not know the version number off-hand.

I’d rate the solution at a ten out of ten. We’ve been very happy with its capabilities.

I'm a Cisco specialist, and I implement Cisco devices, not always just for myself. We consult, implement, and design Cisco devices for our customers according to their needs and requirements. Just for the record, I am the CEO of my company: Atin Secure Systems ltd.

I feel free with Cisco's operation system (IOS), and specifically, it's CLI. The power of Cisco is it's software and OS, not just their hardware. Their end product is very stable, straightforward, and scalable. However, it takes time and energy for a beginner to be able to administer the CLI.

Cisco could update or release a new GUI. It needs a more extensive and comprehensive GUI, specifically for people who don't like using CLIs. I don't mind CLI but, I know based on my experience that not everyone prefers it. Unfortunately, Cisco promotes only to use CLI.

I am teaching Cisco up to CCNP level to my students, but up until today, I haven't been able to take the Cisco exams because we are banned from doing so in our country due to sanctions. We cannot even take the Cisco exams out of the country. I wanted to travel to Turkey to try, however, I was told I wouldn't be recognized even if I pass the exam.

I have been implementing, designing, troubleshooting, and teaching Cisco for ten years.

Cisco has the best stability I have ever seen. There aren't bugs or glitches, freeze, or crashes. It's very reliable.

The solution is very scalable. It's another feature that's great. You can add as many Cisco devices as you want to your project or your scenario if your initial design is correct. This can be done without any side effects and without any big changes.

We're based in Iran. We suffer from a lot of sanctions, so we don't have access to Cisco specialists or Cisco support. It's not allowed.

Cisco is somehow expensive in comparison to other vendors. Hence, we have switched to other brands only to satisfy the financial needs of our customers. Our only suggestion to customers is Cisco.

In my opinion, the initial set up is useless for a person (a specialist or a technician) who wants to run a full scenario. If I were Cisco, I would eliminate that initial setup.

Due to the sanctions on our country, we can't get outside help directly from Cisco. We need to handle the implementation ourselves.

The initial costs of using a full Cisco scenario like purchasing gears and licenses may be a little bit high. However, with accurate design and implementation, you should make sure you are good to go for years.

Cisco is the definition of computer networks in the industry. I have experience and knowledge in other brands like Mikrotik. However, Cisco is the best on the market.

You can't compare Cisco to any other gadget or any other solution. They're the best in the market, hands down. I have no choice other than giving them full marks of ten out of ten. I'd recommend Cisco to everyone.

We primarily use the routers for internet and wire connection.

The routing feature is the solution's most valuable aspect. 

The solution is more flexible in configuration and in deployment. The deployment is very easy.

Currently, we use the 4000 series of the solution, however, there were issues with the 1900 series.

The solution needs to offer some security features in a future release.

The solution is very stable.

The solution is very scalable. In our company, we have about 10,000 users. We don't plan to increase usage right now.

Technical support is excellent. I'd rate them ten out of ten.

We previously used, and still use Juniper. We use both Juniper and Cisco within our organization; we haven't replaced one with the other.

The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two hours.

Our strategy was to have both high and low-level information in regard to the configuration. We usually have it in our script and we can use this information to assist us with deployment.

You require about two people for deployment and maintenance of the solution.

In most cases, I handle the implementation myself. However, in some cases, we used system integrators due to the nature of the contract involved.

There's a yearly licensing agreement. You can add more features at an additional cost if you need to.

We're mostly using the 4000 series of the solution.

In terms of advice, I'd say users need to be clear about customer requirements to avoid overpaying for features they don't need. They should take care to select the proper router type and use the proper license. For deployment, they need a high level of understanding, for the implementation and configuration. They need to be prepared for all scenarios to be network ready. Something might turn off, for example, so they need to be prepared for those instances in order to properly handle them.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

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 for communication between banking branches, and connecting those branches to Head Office.

We appreciate that this solution performs well, regardless of the volume of traffic being fed through it.

Positive

The initial setup for this product is very easy, once some training has taken place.

We implemented this solution using our in-house team.

There is a router-only, perpetual license available for this product, but additional features will mean additional charges.

We recommend this solution for medium to large organizations, as it requires a large financial commitment to work at its best.

We would also advise organizations to be very clear on their requirements. This way they are not paying for features that this product provides, but that they won't use.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We have a team of 50 admins to help with the deployment.

We plan to continue using it in the future.

We used an integrator to help us with the implementation.

For others who want to use this solution, I would recommend it.

I would rate Cisco Enterprise Routers an eight 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.
