I personally liked Cisco Routers as these routers are bit complex to configure and maintain, but offers best high availability and uptime, and found easy to deploy for large company as easy to scale when have multisite setup.

Likelihood to Recommend
Sometimes our Cisco Routers aren't well suited; it's just in really small environments. To put just an at-home module, that's really the only time I can't really see it being used. Even in any situation, like a small office, like five to 10 people, even just putting a small router out there has its inherent benefits outside of just using a normal internet connection, like getting your local Comcast. So, as I said, it's very adaptive.

We are extremely likely to renew, as we have been very happy with our Cisco Routers for over 10 years. Their uptime as well as stable nature makes them ideal for us, as we are an industry that cannot afford downtime. We trust our partner to recommend our next model Cisco, when the time comes.

Support Rating
Cisco support is very good. Of course, sometime you will run into support guy that isn't up to the task. Buf overall, the support system is well structure. You know if this support isn't able to help, you can esclate the situation to find another help. Also, their documentation is well developed and can be very useful.

Return on Investment
  • Cisco Routers provide a real ROI when integrating with existing equipment.
  • Cisco Routers provide a negative impact when too many sites need SRST features that don't provide active use. ie they are standby until needed.
  • Hardened Cisco Routers in the IoT space are very valuable and provide our customers with gear that runs for years on end.
