Cisco Enterprise Routers Reviews

We use Cisco Enterprise Routers for implementing properties and features.

The routing platform is good.

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

This solution is both stable and scalable.

The technical support is okay.

The initial setup was quite straightforward.

I am happy with the price of Cisco Enterprise Routers, but they could offer more discounts to their customers.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight.

We primarily use these routers for establishing connections between different sites. These connections allow our users at different locations to access the network.

The feature that I like most is the routing.

This product is very easy to use.

Cisco has a lot of problems with the graphical interfaces used for management. 

We have been working with Cisco Enterprise Routers for almost 10 years.

These routers are very stable.

The technical support is very good.

Cisco routers are very pricey. This is the biggest complaint from customers for which we provide support.

My advice for anybody who is considering this product is that it is very easy to use, and there is a large community to support you. I recommend checking the licensing because sometimes when you buy the product, you may forget to check the licensing and warranty information.

We have seen that most clients work with third-parties when it comes to a monitoring solution for Cisco routers.

In summary, this is a good product and one that I recommend.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

On-premises

We are resellers. We provide products for our clients.

I am using this solution for my network in the office.

We mainly sell it to the government departments, who also use it on-premises for their LAN.

What I like the most is that it's an easy plug and play device to work with.

I haven't really delved deeply into the configuration, so from the router's point of view, I can't provide much of an opinion. From the switches perspective, I feel there isn't much that can be done because again, I have delved into the configuration. 

When we set up a LAN and we use Cisco, it makes life easy. If instead, we buy it from the distributor, it comes provisioned with the licenses. We just plug it in, and the network goes up, except when we need to do a VLAN.

The only other thing we struggled with from time to time is when we were configuring access points through a controller. The challenge we had was because our client used a firewall and they used a proxy, which gave us many challenges in relation to the configuration. But other than that, it went well.

The price should be reduced.

Our clients are mainly government and they want to implement CCAT6A and they come up with extremely stringent conditions. It made it difficult for us to even bid because they want gold certified partners. It became a bit tricky for us to submit the bids.

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

There are no issues with stability.

It's a scalable solution.

We have not contacted technical support with this project. We felt it's something we could sort out ourselves and then we managed to sort it out.

It's not a fair price, it's a bit too high.

I would recommend this solution to others, but I would ask them to buy from the channel, they shouldn't buy from the market. Because once they buy it from the channel, they do have a lot of benefits that they can derive from it.

I would rate Cisco Enterprise Routers an eight out of ten.

On-premises

Installed at many locations using a hub-and-spoke design to connect remote sites to central locations over GRE tunnels.

• Its routers are versatile, reliable, and capable. 
• I find their user interface easy to use in getting simple to complex tasks completed, even after not using it for a while.

I extensively used site-to-site VPNs, access control, etc., linking remote sites to the central location to create a highly distributed organization.

Recently, there seems to be a lot of people who are leaning towards Juniper CLI, which is easier to pick up.

One to three years.

A few things which I love about this product: 1) Service virtualization ability 2) High performance WAN services 3) Cisco cloud connected solutions 4) Higher QoS for video, voice traffic 5) Reduction in total network operation cost through nV technology. 6) Inbuilt security features for IPsec, VPN, tunneling, MAC etc.

Few cons which can be improved on: 1) Pricing structure when it comes to Borderless Networks and PIX firewall routers 2) WAN integration can be made easier 3) Integrated VPN not present in all series

Cisco has remarkably been the king in the networking and information technology stream till date. Cisco's routing technology has been a class apart from its competitors for its innovations including, RIP, BGP, CDP, IGRP or EIGRP. With the start of Cisco Borderless Networks for growing routing enterprise needs, Cisco routers continuously strive hard to deliver unmatched performance in the cloud computing and virtualization platforms.

Cisco Enterprise Routers can be used for network connectivity. You are able to connect two networks together, such as an enterprise to the cloud.

The solution has great performance.

The solution could improve by having multiple features inclusive of the router, such as a free firewall and VPN. Additionally, it should be a generic box that can act as a router, firewall, and switch.

I have been using Cisco Enterprise Routers for approximately 12 years.

Stability is one of the strongest elements of Cisco Enterprise Routers, they are highly stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have approximately 300 users using the Cisco Enterprise Routers.

There have been some challenges with the technical support. The first level of customer support is not good, you need to escalate it to a higher level to get a resolution. The first level of support could be more knowledgeable and faster.

The installation is not easy, it required someone with a lot of expertise.

We use one technician that can manage approximately 10 routers.

There is a license required for the use of this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Cisco Enterprise Routers a nine out of ten.

On-premises

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.

Private Cloud

An area for improvement would be the power supply unit. This product also tends to have a short life cycle, which could be better.

I have been using this solution for over ten years.

This solution is stable.

This solution is scalable.

I would rate this solution as eight out of ten.
