Good gateway with helpful traffic shaping and load balancing

There must be a wizard section as per the use case. For example, if we need a simple firewall there must be an auto-install of most required packages. In the same way, if we need a more strict firewall, then different configuration settings. There must be a more easy-to-use GUI. More documentation should be available within the package manager. A visible ON/OFF button must be there and can be easily configured as required. An additional non-us electrical plug must be inside the box. There should be an option to upgrade RAM (i.e. 8GB to 16GB). It can enhance the capacity of the proxy server.

Easy router configuration has you online in minutes

As an end user, I would recommend Cisco because it is stable, has good performance, resiliency, high availability, quick setup, a friendly environment, and friendly interfaces that are easy to deploy and manage. You will not have the hassle of on-premises solutions such as configuration and connectivity. You receive one product and then think of how to deploy it. You should be a highly technical person, but it's easy to use. You don't need to be a CCI to handle setup. It's a very easy deployment that will make your life easy. I rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Pros

"The solution has good performance."

"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."

"It provides peace of mind because it is a stable product that you aren't going to lose sleep over at night wondering if it will be running or not."

"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 artificial intelligence assessment models."

"It integrates well with the other products we're using. We have it with multiple windows like Palo Alto, Arista and it easily integrated with them."

"It seems pretty stable. We have never had any issues with it."

"AWS has a reference architecture to enable the Cisco routers in high availability and Transit VPC. This is a very powerful router and can enable us to use Transit VPC in AWS, and this is a very powerful feature that we use."

"This solution is scalable."

"Overall, it is a solid product and a good router."

More Cisco Cloud Services Router pros

"It has good scalability."

"The solution's initial setup is straightforward."

"Extensive support for cellular range for Wi-Fi technologies"

"These routers help us to provide high availability to our clusters."

"It is more durable than other products in the market."

"HPE routers are easier to manage than any other router I've used."

Cons

"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

"The initial setup is easy for one device but is more complex when numerous devices need to be configured."

"There should be a system in place to help existing users make an easier transition to the newer interfaces."

"I would like some deployment examples and guides specific to AWS VPCs and how to separate your subnets. Then, how they tie-in with the Internet gateway and any NAT services that we are running on our VPC. This would be extremely helpful."

"The configuration is difficult."

"It is too complex. It is not easy to set up, even with the documentation that they provided. It is a little confusing."

"You can use this router in a scalable solution but it has its limitations."

"The ease of use within the AWS environment needs to improve. Sometimes, it is very esoteric in how you use it. Therefore, you have to learn to use it, then you are able to."

"I would like to see better security, where there are more access controls and data confidentiality."

More Cisco Cloud Services Router cons

"They should work on lowering their prices in Brazil to stay competitive with rivals and offer customers more affordable options."

"Better management tools are needed."

"Its customer service could be better for older equipment models."

"Technical support could be better."

"Compatibility with other platforms could be improved."

"I'd like to see more security features, like support for different types of encryptions."

"The solution is expensive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is not a license required for this solution but the price should be less expensive."

"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was easy; click a button and you have it."

"Purchasing the product on the AWS Marketplace was very simplistic. Our organization was trying to centralize our billing costs, and simplicity was best."

"This solution is kind of expensive."

"Purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace was very simple. We went through the AWS Marketplace because it was the easiest way to get the product up and running very quickly."

"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was easy. It was almost a one-click process to purchase CSR."

"The licensing model is good with this appliance: Bring Your Own License (BYOL)."

"We would prefer to go through the vendor instead of AWS, as we have a relationship with the vendor and can get discounts directly from them. Going through the vendor, it is much cheaper for us. Though, we would still keep it hosted on AWS."

"The cost needs improvement. It is very expensive through the AWS Marketplace."
