    Chose Cisco 8000 Series Secure Routers
    I liked the 4000 series routers, but the 8000 is a much more advanced router.

    I use them for different roles. Though more importantly the size of the platforms, the 8K series is more forgiving :)

    IT would be nice to see the Cisco 8000 Series Secure Routers implement a simpler tiered approach to software licensing. It would also be great to see improved network access module options for cellular use specifically. The overall operations of the router are well integrated but the plug and play process could be improved a bit.

    Cons

    • Static routes not withdrawing in vrrps failover
    • Umbrella tunnels not coming up, they should have an auto recover mechanism just like physical interfaces

    I like that, even in SD-WAN mode, you can still get to the CLI. They are easy to configure from the console port, or a USB drive. I like how modular they are so we can order just what we need for that location.

    Return on Investment
    Cisco
    • Ease of implementation and learning is excellent
    • The ability to go from not knowing anything to a fully configured provider-level routing device and the flexibility to use it in any scenario makes it super simple because that means that we will have several on-hand and can use them anywhere in our network
