Verified User Engineer Chose Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR 4000) Cisco is the best pure router available.

Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco Actually if we place it into the internet gateway, we do nothing in front of the firewall. Yes, it's working well also, if we put into the routing, it works well. But we should not use it instead of switch. Because some people tend to use the router instead of layer three suite. So yes, I try to use it.

Pros	Cisco The ISR 4000 is an excellent router for our voice services. We purchased CUBE licensing in order to do this. The ISR 4000 is an excellent router for security purposes as well. We purchased the security license with the router and that allowed us to run a Zone-Based Firewall. The ISR 4000 is very simple and straight forward to configure. Incentivized CP Cody Plassmeyer Network Administrator III Read full review
Cons	Cisco A greater number of onboard WAN ports would be an improvement over the model we purchased, which only had two. [This] means we'll have to buy more expensive network cards to get more convenience. The small router was a plus in some branches, but it was a hindrance in others. Its width is about half the size of the rack, so we had to keep it on top of another device. When compared to its competitors, the rack mounting kit is unreliable and expensive to purchase.

Support Rating	Cisco There is always room for improvement with support, but Cisco support has been good to me over the years. Being able to call or submit online TAC cases makes it so I can get my issues or questions answered faster. They have even added the TAC bot for TAC cases to get to support even faster!

Alternatives Considered	Cisco We did not compare the Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers to other competitors as we used Cisco for a long period of time already. We selected this product as we used a lot of CISCO products in the past and with good support. Other products don't have the protocols that CISCO products have.

Return on Investment	Cisco Can be used for ISE, Meraki access point, FTD firewall, works well, no worry about integration with any third party product. As this device can be multipurpose, ROI is faster and usable for longer period of time, as no EOL any time soon This is an integrated modular device so even if my small offices are closed over a period of time, this can be re-purposed for other requirements within organization This device supports WAN optimization within software. This reduces the requirement of that specific optimization device, which reduces my overall cost for a branch network Incentivized Mahesh Doshi IT Read full review
