User Testimonials
	Cisco IOS	VyOS
Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco Well suited for building management networks across the organization as it has been reliable without much downtime. Since it has great switching qualities, it suites well for data center and end-user connectivity using access switches. It might not be the best for routing, as other XOR software has proven to be superior for routing. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	VyOS Inc No answers on this topic

Alternatives Considered	Cisco We have found other Cisco software to be filled with added functionalities as compared to iOS. New NCS software has certain programmability features that are advantageous to legacy iOS software but are more complex to use for some users. Hence, we still have most areas of the network that functions using iOS software. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	VyOS Inc No answers on this topic
