This is effective for businesses who need a network solution that works more or less out of the box, without having to coordinate multiple additional devices in the configuration process. Correspondingly, users with needs for more advanced functionality or configurability, or modification may benefit from a different model or different product line.

Cisco [800 Series Integrated Service] Routers, [specifically] 819 routers, are well suited for small offices like remote teleworker sites, and a very perfect solution for operating automated teller machines (ATMs) at locations where the only source of network connectivity is via a mobile network operator where one has to use a SIM card. The fact that the router supports dual SIM makes it a great solution. However, I guess because one has to configure the embedded modem to function as desired, it takes some time to get used to [the] chat scripts and so on.

- [Cisco 800 Series Integrated] Routers can form tunnels over a cellular network via the SIM inserted into it.
- With an external antenna attached to it, their coverage is very good, making them suitable for remote sites where network coverage from ISPs is a concern.
- They function as a switch and router in one device.

Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR 1000)
- Possibly higher port count on built in switch.
- External WiFi antenna connection to allow bigger WiFi coverage.
- More robust wall mount setup using screw slots, currently only 2.

- Being one of the most versatile routing/switching platforms available, it fulfills most functions one would need in a compact appliance.
- I have not experienced lack of functionality in any areas we use the appliance for.
- One small feature I would like to have is 19" rack mount.

I would rate these routers useability as 9/10 - I've designed and deployed Cisco solutions for the last 20 or so years, so, therefore, know what I am buying and try to get an understanding of the capabilities before deploying. The Cisco 1000 series Integrated Service Router is a rock-solid investment with great throughput "out of the box".

With any Cisco product, you are very well supported by the Technical Assistance Centre (TAC). This is one of the major plus points when selecting Cisco networking products - working in IT for the last 20years you soon appreciate that it is impossible to know everything and that there are people within Cisco you can lean-on when you need assistance.

We have used DLink and Fortinet Routers. I find Cisco superior in management, reliability and overall network performance over the two. I will say Fortinet has not experienced any failures and does provide very similar functionality, I simply find Cisco to be my preferred Router hardware. I further base this on support. When things go wrong and they often can in networking, they Support team is excellent in helping identify and resolve the issue quickly

We looked into setting up Site to Site VPN with either Cisco ASAs or [Fortinet] FortiGate Firewalls. We were unable to find a product that didn't also require us to set up an LTE modem separately. It would have forced us to have a mess of cables and multiple devices. Our kit for the field with the Cisco 800 [Series Integrated Services Router] is simple: router, power cables, and wireless access point. Everything is labeled and attached plugs into one device. Any field user can follow the instructions [to] get up and running quickly.

- Once they are installed they just work. Even when a device enters EOL/EOS they keep chugging along.
- Good lifetime - they don't retire models so often that you can't keep up.
- Good extended support, this allows us to keep them in place as long as possible (or practical) and increases our ROI.

- The long-term stability is great, we have very few problems, resulting in low maintenance costs.
- Configuration for almost all routers in the basics is the same, so there's a very short learning curve per model.
- Running some models of Router for more than 10 years of stability, so the ROI with the devices is greater than expected on starting.
