Cisco Enterprise Routers Reviews

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.

I use the solution to manage the centralization of our networks as well for an internet connection.

The main features I have found most valuable are the feature management and the stability of the solution. There are no problems with the performance of these routers.

An area of improvement would be the way the licenses are managed because, at the moment, you pay for a license for each router as opposed to paying a once-off cost.

I have been using the solution for about 20 years.

The stability of the solution is better than most other solutions.

The technical support for the solution was good.

The solution is easy to manage and took only two weeks to deploy.

We use this solution for network communication and connectivity.

They are good. They have a good lifespan and they are easily managed.

The information is readily available for all of the products.

Also, they have local support available, as well as principal support, which is also easy to get.

Prices could be better.

I would like to see better reporting and also integration with other products.

I have been using Cisco Enterprise Routers for more than five years.

We have the version that was used at that time, as well as the newest versions.

It's a stable solution.

It's a scalable product. We have 12 users in five locations.

Technical support is good.

The initial setup is straightforward. It is easy to install.

It does take some time because you need to do the configuration. 

It can take a day to deploy. It may take longer if it is a complex environment, or if it is a simple environment, it can be done faster.

We have an internal team, who works with the implementation partner.

The implementation partner starts with the base configuration, and then they draw on our internet team to work with them.

Eventually, it falls under our team management.

It's expensive and the pricing could be improved.

The license is paid yearly.

We plan to continue using this solution. I would recommend Cisco Enterprise Routers to others who are interested in using them.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

It's our network device.

It is a good router that is available with advanced technology.

We are evaluating and considering moving to SD-WAN, which is the latest one.

As we are expanding, we require more coverage.

I have been using Cisco Enterprise Routers for 15 years.

It is always updated. We are using the latest version.

It's a stable router.

We have no issues with the scalability. We have approximately 500 users in our organization.

Technical support is good and they are very nice.

We have no issues with customer support.

It's a plug-and-play type of installation.

We have a team of 10 people to maintain this solution.

There are licensing costs and they are expensive.

We are currently evaluating other vendors.

Generally, I don't recommend anything to anyone.

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

What we do is build a private point and then connect to the Internet. It's basically a dynamic multipoint virtual VPN. 

I think Cisco Enterprise Routers are excellent.

The price could be better. This product is already at the end of life stage, but if they continue to make this kind of product, they should make it affordable. All the new releases come with little flexibility and are expensive. 

In the next release, it would be helpful if they put some features like antivirus inside the router.

I have been using Cisco Enterprise Routers for more than three years.

It's a stable product.

Cisco Enterprise Routers are scalable, but it can be challenging to integrate with some other devices. 

Their support is very good.

The initial setup is easy and took us less than an hour to deploy.

My team implemented it. The number of people you need to implement and maintain the solution depends on the project. For example, we can preload the router and add a file. But we still need someone like an engineer to plug or unplug the server. Typically, it takes about one or two people to do it.

It's quite expensive for small businesses.

I will recommend this product to new users.

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

We use Cisco Enterprise Routers in the WAN solutions.

It's easy to use, and there is a lot of information available on the internet.

I would like to see more boundaries and better performance.

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

It's a stable product.

It's a scalable solution. We have 3,000 users in our organization.

I have not contacted technical support.

Depending on the client's needs we use other solutions such as HPE.

The initial setup is straightforward. It was easy. It was installed in minutes.

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 are a solution provider and Cisco Enterprise Routers are one of the products that we implement for our clients.

The larger routers are used in an organization's headquarters to connect with the branches, which use smaller routers. It acts as the backbone for networking between the main branch and branch offices. 

This product is easy to use.

I would like to see support for software-defined networking.

The routers could be more secure.

We have been selling Cisco Routers for a couple of years.

This is a stable product.

These routers are scalable and you can have many of them included in the network. One of our customers has approximately 100 users.

The support from Cisco is good enough.

The initial setup is straightforward. It will take approximately two months to implement a whole project.

We have a staff of approximately 20 people for deployment and maintenance.

The price should be reduced.

Overall, this is a good product that I recommend it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
