The [Cisco 800 Series Industrial ISR (IR 800)] is great when we need to add a small new site in a very short time.Our previous experience with these units makes the roll-out of new sites quick and almost seamless.The 800 series excels in locations where we want to tunnel all traffic back to the core site.Split tunneling for "SD-WAN" type use is not as functional as in other products.

If you just need to do simple communication to Azure such as smb and rdp sessions then the Cisco Cloud Services Router 1000V Series is overkill. If you need to setup multiple mesh vpn connections to existing ISRs and have complicated routing with multiple protocols then Cisco Cloud Services Router makes that setup much easier and less work to maintain and troubleshoot.

- If they aren't a full 19" 1U device you have to purchase rack ears separately from the device
- VPN tunneling can be a bit of a configuration challenge

Cisco routers can be configure and forgotten unless you are adding to the configuration or on the rare troubleshooting event.

Cisco 800 Series Industrial ISR (IR 800)
The Meraki Z3 falls into roughly the same category as the 800 series and requires no daughter card for PoE.The Meraki MX are more expensive and require more infrastructure to support.The Meraki units also completely stop working when licensing is not renewed, and are more in the class of an SD-WAN product.

Neither product supported all the protocols we needed to allow all of our locations to route. It does add some complications to the gateway and vnet setup though. Once we retired our ISRs we were able to go to Meraki vMX and the auto-vpn setup works rather well and is much simpler than IOS configs

Not every router can handle all situations and so you have to purchase the upgrade to do handle the new requirements.

- I don't need to use outdated hardware for testing.
- Don't need a dedicated power feed to spin up a usably-sized network.
