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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

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

"The solution has good performance."

"It handles stress very well. We have not reached a point of needing to worry about its capabilities."

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

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the SNMP traps that I use to monitor the router and the availability of the network."

"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 bandwidth and throughput are pretty good."

"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."

More Cisco Cloud Services Router pros

"The scalability is good."

"When we started, the connection was amazing for the 100G between the switches and the co-switch. What the students typically use for school is a maximum is 40 so they now have faster technology."

"This product uses a non-proprietary command line, which makes it compatible across many different systems."

"The configuration syntax makes it easy for us to configure the device and perform troubleshooting when needed."

"I use the product to connect to various access points to extend my network."

"I have been able to connect the solution to many platforms such as Windows, Apple, and Android."

"The most valuable feature of Huawei Enterprise Routers is if have two networks at different geographical locations with a great deal of distance they work together as if they are on the same cloud network."

"It's simple to use and offers good connectivity."

More Huawei Enterprise Routers pros

Cons

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

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

"It could grow or adapt to changes in the cloud. For example, cloud does not support autoscaling. When people want to grow, they have to do manual activities."

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

"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 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."

"They have an online registration that happens after they pick up block months. If they could decrease to yearly or something, sometimes the device is not cell phone accessible. That becomes an issue or challenge for us. If that can be improved, that would be really great."

"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."

"I would like the ability to moderate between devices on-premise to off-premise. This would be a vast improvement."

More Cisco Cloud Services Router cons

"We'd like the product to be more flexible so that we could more easily manipulate some of the features."

"The configuration is complex and should be simplified."

"We have encountered issues while integrating the product with Enterprise Management Systems. Huawei platform is good for Huawei but we face issues when we integrate it with other models."

"We have found we have to restart the routers or reconfigured them a lot of the time, this issue should improve. The quality of the hardware needs to be more durable."

"The only problem I see is configuration loss."

"It would be better if the vendor provided support for small enterprises."

"In my country we don't have Huawei technology, we only have Huawei routers for ISP. There is no agent for Huawei in Egypt."

"There isn't really any scalability potential."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The pricing is fine, though it might have been cheaper going through a partner or doing a direct buy."

"You do need to pay a licensing fee to use the solution. You can do a yearly or three-year subscription. The product itself is quite expensive. It would be ideal if they offered the product at a cheaper price."

"Cost is a big factor. We would like to see the price reduced."

"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."

"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."

"The pricing is good for what it offers."

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

"The tool's licensing is yearly."

"The price is reasonable compared to Cisco's."

"The price of the solution is fair."

"These routers are not too expensive."

"The product is expensive."
