User Testimonials
	Cisco 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers (ASR 1000)
Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco - It is well suited for companies that have a big WAN environment, this devices can fit in there easily and have multiple provider circuits. - Well suited for private cloud environments where multi tenancy is required, - Device can be used as IPN/ISN device as it supports jumbo frames for an ACI multi-site/remote leaf deployment. - Device is well suited for branches that have their own DIA and MPLS circuits.

Pros	Cisco These routers are very good at performing 24x7! This is key to running an organization where employees are working 24x7. The ZBFW feature works especially well to help lockdown and protect your network. Having the ability to perform in-service upgrades is a key feature in keeping your network up at all times. Incentivized CP Cody Plassmeyer Network Administrator II Read full review
Cons	Cisco The ASR 1000 series routers can, as with most devices, improve with additional memory capacity and upgraded chip sets for faster processing. There seems to be limitations on the number of routing sessions the smaller ASR devices can handle, which can be overcome with proper planning and placement within the network. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Cisco The device without a doubts performs at the level required and expected, we can renew it and use it as we have been using it for years. The device can be used as DCI, IPN/ISN, or even private cloud for customer circuit handoff, it also supports IPSec properly. The device is well suited in multiple segments of the network.

Usability	Cisco All our modular contingency service exercises use this equipment, it allows us to perform this type of exercises very easily, in a controlled and effective way. It is used at least once a month for these types of events. It also allows configuration replication in computers that are under the same model.

Support Rating	Cisco We have received training on the equipment, which has made us add more networks on our own, we provide first level support, we validate the publication of the equipment and we can satisfy the needs of our internal clients in terms of the prompt recovery of the affected services Incentivized Carlos Mendoza Barberán Analista de Redes y Comunicaciones Read full review

Alternatives Considered	Cisco Before standardizing on the Cisco ASR 1000 we had explored the idea of using Juniper routers. Ultimately we felt the Cisco ASR 1000 was a better fit at the time. We have been very happy with this decision, but it might not be the right decision for everyone. It fit our environment and our needs very well, Juniper is also a very good choice. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Cisco It is a healthy return on investment with planned packed size data. Average unicast latency is low and consistent with small and large packets (barring mid-sized). Cisco devices last longer and also have a decent trade-in policy to recover some value when equipment is replaced. Higher concurrent IPSec tunnels are offered, we tested for 1500+, fielding both encrypted and a mix of encrypted and cleartext traffic.
