Cisco Enterprise Routers Reviews

The primary use case for some of our customers is to build their network. Others want to upgrade their networks because they have expanded their office or have new offices or new buildings.

The most valuable features are security and throughput. Security is very important and the throughput is valuable because the data amounts get bigger each time.

The scalability of this solution needs to be improved because the amount of data gets larger and larger as does the network. This should be a part of the site share equipment.

In the next release, I would like to see cloud management and cloud security.

Also, for our customers, if they could have all of their tools in one place for monitoring and configuring their equipment, and it should be very secure.

This solution is very good and stable.

When you sell millions of routers and features, you will always have some type of issue. With any solution you have different situations with installation or with configuration. In general, it's a very low percentage of issues.

This solution is scalable but it does need some improvements.

There are no limitations to the number of users it can have, but it depends on the equipment and the network size. One local router could serve maybe five hundred to one thousand customers, whereas a larger network can accommodate more, so the number of users depends on the equipment and the technical parameters.

In the case of issues, you can contact customer support and it will be resolved in a very short time.

The technical support is very good.

I used to be an integrator and when I had some cases or tasks we had very quick and qualified support with Cisco.

The initial setup is easy and straightforward. This solution has a web-based interface which makes it easy for installation.

The deployment can take one or two days. If it's a new implementation and it just needs to install one router in a network, it can take less than a day. But, if it's in Europe and it has a complicated network because they are large, it will take time to make new routes or policies. This can span one or two days.

Some of our customers have their engineers who can implement this solution, so they don't use a reseller or integrator. However, in most situations, resellers and integrators are hired to implement this solution.

Buy official equipment and services from Cisco and you will have fully qualified technical support.

There are no limitations, you should go forward with the solution. There is always something new being developed and it is always growing.

This is a company that is very innovative.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

We use Cisco Enterprise Routers for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), internet services, and IP transfers. We use it mainly for an internet gateway. 

The quality is good. Cisco Enterprise Routers are stable and more reliable.

It would be better if Cisco had a User Interface (UI) that we could configure from a web browser. Right now, we only have a Graphical User Interface (GUI). I would like to see a new UI with a dashboard for configuration in the next release.

I have been using Cisco Enterprise Routers for about five years.

Cisco Enterprise Routers has been stable for us.

Cisco Enterprise Routers are scalable. It's good. We have an average number of users at our organization, about 100.

We rarely use their technical support, but it's good. 

The initial setup is quite simple. We have two people maintaining this solution.

We evaluated MikroTik before choosing Cisco Enterprise Routers. I think Cisco Enterprise Routers are more stable, and the reliability is better.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Cisco Enterprise Routers an eight.

Cisco Routers have the native translation that we need for a couple of extra networks. They also provide firewall protection for our system.

Cisco Routers are quite robust. They don't malfunction, and we've had no complaints so far.

I would like it if Cisco Routers had a longer lifecycle. That's what we need. We don't want to renew or implement a new model. One model should be available for at least five years. This seems impossible nowadays.

I think we first installed the Enterprise Routers about three years ago, but now they're reaching the end of their lifecycle, so we'll likely switch.

Cisco Routers are a stable solution.

Cisco Routers are scalable enough for our needs. We only have a couple of networks we need to connect and 200 customers.

So far I haven't had any issues. Support provides us with all the latest patches and updates. 

We prepare everything here in the factory and the site where our systems are. Then we set up a new IP address when needed. The time required for deployment depends on the person and site. Typically, if it's a competent person, it's a half-hour job with verification and testing.

Cisco Routers are quite affordable. The price is not the problem. It's the availability and the lifecycle. 

I'm currently looking at Netgear for a replacement solution and some other candidates. We will evaluate and verify.

We use the solution for our DataCom Network and various others.

The solution is flexible.

I have been using the solution for over ten years.

The product is stable.

I have found it to be scalable with our three million users.

We have Cisco agents that do the deployment of the solution and the install can take a maximum of a few days. We have a team of 20 for maintenance. 

I have found the price to be expensive for the solution. Other products are coming to the market that are not as expensive, Cisco should reduce their price to be more comparable.

I would recommend this product to others.

I rate Cisco Enterprise Routers an eight of ten.

Our client primarily uses the solution for a Computer Base Test Center.

The durability of the solution is excellent.

They offer a variety of very good features.

The pricing of the solution needs improvement.

The solution is usually stable. It could be based on design, but on a particular router that I received, I noticed it started overheating at one point, so it kept shutting down. This may be because of where I purchased the router, however.

The initial setup of the solution is quite easy if you are a technical person. If you are not a technical person it can take a while. A technical person should be able to deploy it in 25-45 minutes.

We use the enterprise version of the solution. I deploy it for our clients.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

We use these routers in our data centers, in several places.

The most valuable feature is the Cisco DNA (Digital Network Architecture).

We achieve good performance in our data center. We are connected to the other locations via remote lines and the capacity is lower than what is supported by the equipment. Clearly, the equipment is good.

We would like to see the security improved.

To this point, this has been a stable solution.

The scalability has been ok until now.

We work with a consultant firm for our technical support.

We have always used Cisco equipment. Cisco is known worldwide by everyone and most people know what they stand for.

The complexity of the solution depends on what you are going to implement.

Just routing the internet into our location is simple and straightforward. It's always through the MPLS, which means that we don't need to be aware of things other than configuring the firewall.

The setup can be quite difficult, but that's the way Cisco likes to do it. That's why we need to hire extra people from the outside to come and help.

We are still in the process of deploying this solution.

We are using consultants to assist us with our deployment and they are very qualified to do this setup.

The Cisco name guarantees that it is a good product and it meets most of the demands.

We expect that Cisco DNA will solve the problems that we had in terms of security. It was quite difficult before, with the 802.1X. Now, it is more flexible.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Cisco Enterprise Routers are helpful to connect customers to service providers. We can use hardware or software, such as SD-WAN. The Cisco antenna for SD-WAN is good. The solution is an easy setup.

The most valuable features of Cisco Enterprise Routers are the routing tables, and backup solutions available for local sites, and you can use it as a router gateway or simple IPS. They have simple firewalls, that we can use rules to filter traffic.

Cisco Enterprise Router's price could improve, they are expensive.

I have been using Cisco Enterprise Routers for approximately 15 years.

Cisco Enterprise Routers is stable.

I have found Cisco Enterprise Routers to be scalable.

We have approximately 300 clients using this solution.

Cisco Enterprise Routers come installed with its OS. They are easy to configure initially. However, it can depend on the design or features that you use. The initial setup is easy and takes approximately five minutes.

If Cisco Enterprise Routers could be less expensive it would be better. In Turkey, clients prefer cheap solutions, but working solutions.

There is a license needed to enable some features. If you want support from Cisco then you need to purchase it. However, it includes operating system upgrades.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Cisco Enterprise Routers an eight out of ten.

We are using it as a voice gateway. We need to connect with PSTN, and we are communicating with the outside world through this router.

Its performance and stability are most valuable. We are using it for the last five years, and it is constantly up. It didn't create any problems for us.

It is very easy to use. The handling of the device is very easy. It doesn't require any maintenance. After many months in a year, we bring it down, and we just do the normal cleaning and maintenance of the device. 

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.

It is quite costly. It would be great if they can reduce its price.

I have been using this solution for five years.

It is very stable.

We didn't contact them so far.

Its installation is quite straightforward. Cisco provides plenty of helpful documents. There are many videos available on YouTube and Cisco's site to provide us the required information. So, it was not a problem for us.

It is quite costly. Its price should be reduced.

I would highly recommend this solution to other users. It is very reliable, and its performance is good.

I would rate Cisco Enterprise Routers a 10 out of 10.
