The after-sales service and support Cisco offers are great. It's a great differentiating feature that sets them apart from the competition.
The features are good. They are robust and well-made, unlike other competitors, like Huawei, where the products are not made of good materials.
The performance is quite good.
It's scalable.
For the most part, it is straightforward to set up.
We need more cloud functionality and more intelligent routing features.
They need to improve cost efficiency. It's an expensive product.

There are different sizes for the routers. You need to get the right sizing base don your needs.
The solution is scalable. You can have one router per premises and multiple branches and it will work well in an enterprise any size.
They have data sheets online that are easy to access so that you can see the capacity of various routers. You just need to choose the right one for your business.
Support is great. The operator can open a case, and a Cisco support engineer can directly interact with the case to troubleshoot. They have a quick turnaround as well.
Cisco offers quality support. They are excellent.
I'm also familiar with Huawei, and I find them to be not quite as well-made as Cisco. However, they both have similar functionality and serve the same purpose.
The initial setup is straightforward. The setup doesn't take a long period of time.
The deployment is very similar to what you would expect from other vendors. You do need to do some architectural design before implementing. You need to have a good understanding of the layout of the network and what you will need.
Cisco does provide training online that is available readily from anywhere. Most people are quite familiar with Cisco, and those who are not can learn a lot online.
How much technical staff you will need will depend on how big of a deployment you are planning. Typically, two to three engineers are sufficient. However, it can vary from project to project.
The solution is a bit expensive. They should consider better pricing.
They have turned to subscription-based licensing. However, it may not be as cost-effective.
Prices vary. There are different license models to choose from.
I use various versions of the solution, from legacy routers to the latest version. It can be deployed on-premises and also has cloud solutions as well.
Cisco is dominating the market in my region.
I'd recommend Cisco Routers to others.
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten based on the cost of the product, which is expensive.
We use the solution for SD-WAN. We work for clients in the banking sector.
The solution provides support for 5G connectivity. It is used as a backup.
The NMS is positioned for large organizations. It supports zero to 5000 devices. It is an entry-level product. It would be better if the vendor provided support for small enterprises. Support must be available for 0 to 500 or 1000 devices.
I have been working with the product for seven years as a distributor.
The tool is durable. It is very stable. One of our customers has been using the solution for the past ten years. I rate the stability a ten out of ten.
The tool is very scalable, especially for high-end routers. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten. Our customers are small, medium, and enterprise-level businesses.
The support team is available 24/7. The team replies to our queries on time.
Positive
The initial setup is very easy. I rate the ease of setup a ten out of ten. The product can be deployed on-premise and on the cloud. We must verify the deployment procedure with Huawei before we deploy the tool. There's a lot of quality control. The time taken for deployment depends on the scale of the deployment. Usually, it takes some hours to deploy the solution.
The price is reasonable compared to Cisco's.
We need a license to use the firewall capability. I recommend the product to customers because it provides good value for money. It has features similar to those of Cisco, but it is cheaper. Overall, I rate the product a ten out of ten.
