Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR 4000)

The Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers have more capacity than the 1000 series. Both provide similar features but if you have a site with many users, you should go for Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers.
Meraki is less reliable than the regular Cisco ISRs. We have had better experience with failover situations, reviewing logs and overall performance with ISRs.

In competitive realm of networks, Cisco boasts of robust financial performance and price per device, TCO and ROI are far better. Cisco provides versatility in supporting various applications including industrial networks. It is extremely reliable and a market leader. Highest level of product support and documentation. It has expertise across global and in all regions, where we have our presence. It has the largest network of certified engineers and expertise levels. It has the best TAC support system, and has build a robust supply chain model to replenish faulty devices anywhere globally within the stipulated SLA timeline.

It's widely compatible with many products, we can integrate with all products. Not to mention it integrate with Cisco ISE and yes it's working well. We even integrate with third party access point. Currently we're using Meraki access point. And we use it with the FTD firewall and even we integrate with other third party firewall. We found out it's working well, not a problem. We don't have to worry about integration. It comes with the standard protocol with every other product support. I feel like other products are trying to catch up the networking design by Cisco.

All our Cisco products give us good results. That's why we stick with them

I have used the previous models (3600/3700/3800/3900) as well as some models from other vendors. Overall, these have performed quite well. These have needed more software and hardware upgrades to keep working, but they are weathering well. Cisco has deployed some immature products over the past few years, it is good to see that these are good.
