Likelihood to Recommend Before we moved to Cisco IOS XR7, we did not have the opportunity to automate the network configuration.

This generally works best when you play by Apple's rules and buy through them and use Apple School/Business Manager - so if you're going for a BYOD model, this probably isn't the way to do [it].

Even though it is pretty high on initial purchase costs, this year of rock-solid performance is what a few of our customers very much needed and this is the very reason a few of our customers, and we did suggest Cisco IOS XR7 running routers for them.

If I have the latest phone model, I would have additional software advantages that are already included in my OS.
