Suitable for all environments, whether it be small or very large corporate offices. Routers are reliable and robust and if you have the budget, then you should not sacrifice for cheaper.

No problems with any of the Cisco 900 Series [Integrated Services Routers] (ISR) platform features within the enterprise environment. Because these devices are running a version of IOS-XE as opposed to traditional IOS, some of the more 'basic' configurations can become more complex. In the end, the 900 Series is still able to provide the required functionality, but there is a learning curve.

- [It] works great full-featured, but [I recommend a] small router for remote sites.
- [It] can handle more traffic than it even advertises!
- [It has a] well-priced option for smaller or less critical sites.

Cisco Catalyst Switches are technically faster and easier to deploy but don't provide the same flexibility when it comes to 10Gbps services or advanced routing. There are corner cases where having IOS-XE on the 900 series ISRs provides the functionality required for complex applications whereas the Catalyst cannot. Having the option to scale the number of active ports on the 900 series ISR helps in keeping costs at an appropriate level.

- Lots of money saved in downgrading from less useful and older full-sized routers at small sites
- Time saved having to learn new commands (web GUI works great)
- Saves time training staff to manage them
