    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.

    It is most suited where there multi cloud platform as VCloud suite provides most 2 important licences i.e. Vsphere 9India's leading hypervisor) and Vrealize Suite which helps to automate and also simplies IT management by making the solution most agile, efficient and easy to use. If there is a simple environment with just few servers where there is need for only 2-3 VMs, i will not recommend this.

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

    • There is nothing exactly like cons but one must should check all the features, it can be confusing at the times.
    • It can be expensive as compared to some other products available in the market.
    • Implementation can be little tricky, should done by Vmware engineer

    Usability

    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.

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

    VCloud mostly provides cloud management platform, all others also provide the same plus some other features so, Vcloud can be little less expensive in comparison to other solutions available in market. Also, it's very easy to use and deploy and manage your cloud platform. It is widely used by mid scale as well as large scale companies.

    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

    • Positive only- Vrealize suite helps is IT automation by making it cost-effective and efficient.
    • Less time is consumed by our IT administrators because of Automating process and they can do better monitoring
    • It can be really cost effective for if any company wants to make private cloud. It did the same with us as through vCloud we get all the VMware software required.
