Cisco 800 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR 800) vs. Huawei NE Series Routers

More suited is where we need more flexibility in terms of diagnosing the issues and also troubleshooting, which makes it easier for us because we have a more transparent way of diagnosing faults and fixing the issues. So that's a good one. I'm not too sure what is the less appropriate areas, but I could see less appropriate, probably not in places where it's a quick deployment on the cloud side. So probably that's right, I think. And all the security solutions as well

• [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.

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.

• 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.
