We performed a comparison between Cisco Cloud Services Router and ExtremeRouting based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Routers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 seems pretty stable. We have never had any issues with it."
"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 handles stress very well. We have not reached a point of needing to worry about its capabilities."
"The most important feature is that it is designed for mobile vehicle communication in harsh conditions."
"The routing service for NPLS called Layer 3-IP is fantastic."
"It allowed us to create a more secure VPN than we would have been able to do without it."
"The bandwidth and throughput are pretty good."
"The routing protocol is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Looking at the robustness, I do not know whether it would be carrier grade – let's say for hundreds of thousands of users – but it certainly doesn't balk at 10,000 users or less."
"It is very easy to set up."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"What I like about Extreme Routing is its impressive performance."
"Provides a good redundancy technique."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Cisco Cloud Services Router could improve by having more features. It is lacking features, such as virtualization and containerization. Additionally, there should be increased security and connectivity between routers."
"I would like the ability to moderate between devices on-premise to off-premise. This would be a vast improvement."
"There should be a system in place to help existing users make an easier transition to the newer interfaces."
"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."
"You can use this router in a scalable solution but it has its limitations."
"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 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."
"Some of the latest protocols are unavailable."
"It's not evolving as quickly as we would like it to."
"The solution is far too unstable. It's completely unreliable."
"One area for improvement with Extreme Routing is the need for more accessible and comprehensive training."
"The support, software resiliency, and software stability are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"My advice for those looking into ExtremeRouting is: right now all switch manufacturers are backed up for months. If you're looking to implement quickly, I would say shop around a bit because it might be difficult."
