"What's best about Cisco Cloud Services Router is the support. It's excellent, and so far, no significant challenges. Another valuable feature of the product is easy integration with other products."
"The routing service for NPLS called Layer 3-IP is fantastic."
"It is definitely scalable. It can handle a lot more traffic and group work compared to any other products that I've evaluated. It could easily scale a lot more than what I'm doing right now."
"The most valuable feature is the SNMP traps that I use to monitor the router and the availability of the network."
"The most important feature is that it is designed for mobile vehicle communication in harsh conditions."

"The routing is nice and straightforward."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches are good and easy to use."

"It is too complex. It is not easy to set up, even with the documentation that they provided. It is a little confusing."
"If you lose connectivity to the cloud, it is difficult to establish connectivity between hub and spoke."

"I would like to see better security, where there are more access controls and data confidentiality."
"It does the job, but it's not cloud native. It could be even better, like having a single pane of glass and being less expensive."

"They lack the extended warranty for the equipment. They only provide a warranty for one year as compared to the other vendors who offer a warranty for three years, five years, and lifetime, etc."
"The CPU load is too high. This causes the Internet to lag."
"I would appreciate enhancements to impose more restrictions on VPN connections."
"The batch management could be improved."
"They could improve their product if they set, for instance, a controller for wireless LAN. That would allow them to really have something more than an access point."
