    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.

    HPE routers are best suited for the mid-sized enterprises, they have proven ability to cope up the LAN traffic, as well as traffic runs between two different sites, by using the MPLS or VPLS circuits. In our environment, we are keeping the HPE routers at the edge of the network connected with the firewall on the backend which segregates the inside and outside traffic. We are running the BGP protocol to load balance the inbound and outbound traffic coming from different admin routers.

    Cons
    Cisco
    • In some cases it would be helpful if the Cisco Routers in UC mode would support FXO ports when connected to the Webex cloud for calling.
    • When used as WGBs if there were more telemetry options that collect roaming stats OOB would help during troubleshooting efforts.
    • Would love it if there is a CLI command to show the API endpoint for a given show command.

    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.
