Pros

More Netgate TNSR Pros →

"It allowed us to create a more secure VPN than we would have been able to do without it.""This solution is scalable.""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 most valuable feature of the Cisco Cloud Services Router is it can make your migrations smooth. For example, if you want to migrate to the cloud, but you don't want to change the IP. You can extend your VLAN from on-premise to the cloud without having to change the IP.""The most valuable feature is the artificial intelligence assessment models.""Overall, it is a solid product and a good router.""The bandwidth and throughput are pretty good.""The most valuable features of the Cisco Cloud Services Router are the integration with Amazon and Oracle cloud."

More Cisco Cloud Services Router Pros →

"The product is very reasonably priced.""The product’s technical support team is responsive.""The solution offers good customer support and good performance.""The initial setup is easy.""The configuration syntax makes it easy for us to configure the device and perform troubleshooting when needed.""It's simple to use and offers good connectivity.""The product is easy to improve and deploy in terms of configuration for engineers and technical executives.""This product uses a non-proprietary command line, which makes it compatible across many different systems."

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

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"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.""It is too complex. It is not easy to set up, even with the documentation that they provided. It is a little confusing.""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.""I would like the ability to moderate between devices on-premise to off-premise. This would be a vast improvement.""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.""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 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 to see better security, where there are more access controls and data confidentiality."

More Cisco Cloud Services Router Cons →

"The only problem I see is configuration loss.""There is not much of a technical team for Huawei available in Pakistan as compared to Cisco with respect to very complex networks.""There isn't really any scalability potential.""We'd like the product to be more flexible so that we could more easily manipulate some of the features.""Lacks sufficient market availability.""Syntax in the implementation process could be easier to understand for a new user or someone who doesn’t have prior experience using the product.""In my country we don't have Huawei technology, we only have Huawei routers for ISP. There is no agent for Huawei in Egypt.""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."
