Cisco Enterprise Routers Reviews

We are using Cisco Enterprise Routers as a network gateway, PBX, and firewall.

Cisco Enterprise Routers are easy to use and configure through the CLI.

The solution is not easy to manage for people that do not have the experience.

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

The solution is stable and reliable.

The support from Cisco has been satisfactory.

The installation can be difficult and skilled individuals, such as technicians, are required.

Cisco policy is to limit the features and performance through their license.

I have evaluated other solutions.

I would not recommend this solution.

I rate Cisco Enterprise Routers an eight out of ten.

I use the solution for internet access. 

The solution is easy to use, stable and scalable. 

The price could be better. 

I have been using Cisco Enterprise Routers for years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. 

We are satisfied with the technical support. 

Prior to using the solution, I made use of Juniper routers.

The installation was easy. 

It's length of time varies with the environment, but is mostly fast, between 10 and 15 minutes. 

One can handle the installation on his own. 

A technical team is not required. 

The solution could be cheaper. 

There is no licensing cost. 

I am impressed by the solution and would recommend it to others. 

We have many users making use of the solution. I believe there to be 1,000.

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

We are a payment gateway company and we use Cisco Enterprise Routers primarily for connecting with our partners outside on the point-to-point fiber VPN IPsec.

One of the most valuable features of this solution is performance.

Cisco Enterprise Routers could improve by making their solution more user-friendly. Currently, users need to have extensive knowledge of networking to use them because there is only a command-line interface for the configuration. They should add a graphical interface to allow junior users guidance and more flexibility when doing the configuration.

I have been using the solution for approximately six years.

The solution is stable compared to others, such as FortiGate.

Cisco Enterprise Routers is highly scalable.

We are payment gateway company that tracks accepting transactions and all the traffic coming from our partners or people outside that want to do a transaction, such as online or ATM on POS, are using the Cisco Enterprise Router. Additionally, the internal staff of 50 are using it.

We do not have plans to increase usage at this time.

We did not have any issues with the technical support. However, there could be better documentation for the solution.

The initial setup for our Cisco Enterprise Router was complex because of our environment. Before deploying it, we had to comply with some security standards that was a bit difficult.

This solution is expensive compared to competitors. There are additional costs if you want to have their support.

I have evaluated other solutions, such as FortiGate.

I would recommend this solution to others in certain situations, it depends on the company and their use case. If the company has a critical environment, I would recommend Cisco Enterprise Routers. The solution is stable and the support is very good.

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.

Something I like about the solution is all the options it offers and ways it can be configured. I can do things with ease and find the relevant documentation to assist me. I believe that the reason the company chose to go with Cisco products is because they offer everything needed. 

While scalability is available, it must be paid for. The licensing and price could be improved as the equipment purchased may come with very basic commands that require the consumer to pay for a more expensive license for a greater array of functions. The licensing policy can sometimes be very complicated. 

All other aspects of the solution are fine, as in the past it was only possible to use certain commands to configure the solution, but now there is also the option of using a graphical interface. 

We have been using Cisco Enterprise Routers for around 10 years.

The solution is very stable. 

While scalability is available, this option costs money. 

We do not have experience with technical support for the simple reason that we did not purchase it. As such, we must rely on ourselves for this or read the relevant documentation. 

We use Cisco Enterprise Routers mostly for the core network and in a satellite network. We use the equipment to connect our equipment to the internet and provide a robust infrastructure to satellite equipment.
It's a complement of the satellite network, and mostly all the switches and routers that we use are from Cisco. Only the permanent equipment for our modems and the modulators are satellite equipment.

It's a sound solution, so it's very easy to solve problems without a support contract, as mainly the problems we have related to the equipment can be solved by doing a Google search. Because it's a very well known solution, there are books on problems. It's a solution that fits us, as we probably can't afford a very expensive contract.

It is stable and scalable, and it can be set up fast.

It can be very expensive, sometimes, to do the jump to the next router for your needs. It will be great if you can buy a variable router and then upgrade or enable features as you grow. Otherwise, it can become very expensive to have robust equipment.

In the next release, I would like to see more free SD-WAN features and vertical solutions.

I've been using this solution for more than 10 years.

It's a pretty stable solution. We have not had to reboot in a couple of years. It's very rare that we need to reboot a router or a switch.

It is a scalable solution.

The basic configuration can be setup in a day.

It's not probably the best solution if you have a very limited budget, as it can become very expensive to have robust equipment.

If you want an easy solution to keep your network running in a very short time, Cisco Enterprise Routers is a good option. It's not probably the best solution if you have a very limited budget.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cisco Enterprise Routers at nine.

We primarily deployed the solution in IP VPN configurations from the head office to branch offices and other centers. 

Currently, in Nepal, there are no advanced Enterprise Routers. This is just for routing and VPN supports.

Cisco is a great product. 

It is excellent hardware. 

The agent support has been terrific.

There are no policy or hardware issues at all. The performance is great.

The solution is mostly stable.

If it's a standard setup, the initial implementation can be straightforward.

I want to get some advanced features. I want to use advanced features such as SD-WAN or Viptela and vManage or vBond. However, these are not available in Nepal just yet. The supports could be better in Nepal. 

The automation capabilities need improvement. Right now, everything is too manual. We'd like to really see much more automation availability.

The scalability could be better.

I have good experience with Cisco routers and switches. I've been dealing with the solution for about five years.

Mostly the solution is stable, however, there is no 100% certainty in any product. Some could be defective and some could be improved. Some could be weak. However, mostly by-in-large, there is no problem with Cisco products.

In the current device, the scalability is not so good. There are no SD-WAN features in Enterprise Routers. In Nepal, there are normal VPN and normal routing protocols and not many features in SD-WAN.

We also work with Sophos, Fortinet, Nutanix, Peplink, and F5 products. We're also Juniper partners.

If we deploy normal routing just for routing purposes, it is very easy and convenient to configure. However, if you get something on IPC again, such as more robust security, there is a little bit of complexity. It's just a little bit more complicated than normal static routing and other routing protocols.

We are Cisco partners. We are a full IT solutions-oriented company.

I'd rate the solution at a five out of ten. While the hardware is good, it doesn't offer very easy scalability and lacks decent automation capabilities.

I'd recommend the solution to other users, however, it depends on customer requirements. If the customer requirement is a very large network and a lot of brands and there are various data centers, I would recommend they install a different device. There are devices coming - such as SD-WAN. There are Viptela and other devices such as vBond. I would recommend those types of devices and suggest that automation and DNA should be installed.

That said if a customer's requirements are not that broad, and they just need routing, or the requirement is just routing and IPC VPN, I would recommend this product.

We are not a big organization. We are using Cyberoam and Cisco Routers for our traffic. We are using the 5501 model.

Cisco Enterprise Routers are simple. Everything is in a proper manner. You don't need to upgrade or do other things on a daily basis. Cisco sends you the updates, and they are automatically updated. They are good.

They take too much time to reboot or restart. Whenever we hard reset them, they take time. Cisco should resolve this issue.

I have been using this solution for around six to seven years.

They are stable. We haven't faced any issues.

Their technical support is good. They will help you in a proper and decent manner. They are calm. Every time you have a lot of questions or queries, they will come back to you with a positive response.

Their initial setup is normal. You need to configure DHCP and other things.

The price of Cisco Enterprise Routers is good for the service that you get.

I would recommend this solution. Everything is good. Cisco is a good company, and Cisco products are good.

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