Easy to manage and to install. Good description of the features which are provided to help us developped without any issues. I find this serie very easy to improve by adding additionals ports. But, (it depends on the models) the bandwith provided by the IPsec tunnels can be not enough

Usability
Cisco
Rating the usability of a high-end carrier-grade platform like the Cisco 8000 Series Router isn't quite the same as rating a consumer Wi-Fi router. Its "usability" depends entirely on whether you are looking at it from the perspective of a network architect or a day-to-day operator. On a scale of 1–10, I’d give it an 8/10.

Our NOC is trained in Cisco Products and so the decision was easy to decide to get a Cisco router again. We also are planing to upgrade our Internet uplinks so the new models will be way more better.
