The main goal of purchasing these devices were to get some of our buildings that don't connect directly to the main network to be as safe and secure as the rest of the network. Typically this isn't a problem if you setup a SDWAN or metro-E but when you are forced to put these sites on their own they can sometimes feel under-protected. The [Cisco 800 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR 800)] is the little brother of the ISR 2XXX and 4XXX that we use elsewhere, but hoped to get similar features with its use.
- Great price in comparison to its higher end siblings
- Not a ton of setup pains for initial config
- Cisco backed devices that are well made and fairly easy to operate
- Cannot expand functionality with add-on modules
- Not a ton of processing power compared to other models
- Maybe a little light on advanced features

We have a few of these ISR 800 series routers. Mainly for off-site locations that are too far to get fiber run to. In these cases, the site operates mostly independently but that was proving to be a problem for administrators being able to get the users functioning as if they were on the network. These routers mostly fix that issue!
- Help smaller sites tie into HQ network services.
- Bundle a lot of higher end features into a cheaper box.
- Easy to setup and get running.
- Can't handle huge workloads.
- Needs monthly reboots to keep operating at good levels (I think log files are filling, causing memory errors).
- Most bug patches are a headache to perform.

At two remote sites outside our main head quarters we are using these 800 series Cisco ISR routers. Initially purchased as a VPN tunnel only device to bring the remote site back to the network, we were having bandwidth issues. When we changed over to a metro-E connection and used this device as its own firewall and router it really helped us get those sites back online in a smoother way.
- All in once device makes management easier
- Many connection types even wifi and LTE
- Some models can incorporate voip and other voice telephony options
- They lack a bit in processing power and speed
- VPN tunnel is lacking in overall bandwidth
- If you have a larger site you may need to step up to more powerful line

Our current setup is HQ with two branch offices. The 800 Series router is installed at the branch offices.
- Ease of Use
- Has adequate security feateres
- All around good product
- Needs to improve performance a bit
- Not agile enough
- Be sure to note your requirements before purchase

Cisco routers are used at the perimeter of our environment to terminate our ISP connections. While all internal users and our customer utilize these devices they are managed solely by a single department. We utilize Cisco routers due to their BGP convergence performance and our engineers' familiarity with IOS.
- BGP convergence
- Intuitive CLI
- Feature-rich
- Expensive
- Embedded packet captures are not very intuitive
- Rollback options/commit-confirm type commands found in Juniper and IOS-XR routers would be very helpful to see in IOS and IOS-XE
[We're] Using this router as a CPE device for our ISP segment to terminate multiple WAN link types.
- Right price point
- Right features
- Right from factor
- Support for legacy tunneling in base license instead of additional license
Cisco 890 ISRs is one of the most common platforms supporting smaller sites within in our network.
It provides wired and wifi connectivity between branches and HQ.
- Routing, switching, wifi support etc.
- It is a very versatile platform deployed in many of our locations.
- Great solution for networks with an on-the-go setup.
- Being one of the most versatile routing/switching platforms available, it fulfills most functions one would need in a compact appliance.
- I have not experienced lack of functionality in any areas we use the appliance for.
- One small feature I would like to have is 19" rack mount.
We use these small routers to build up the PPPoE dialers with multiple public IPs behind it.
Mostly we connect a Cisco ASA firewall behind it and give one or more public IPs directly to the other companies of suppliers at the customer site.
This device makes it possible to use one fiber PPPoE session to serve multiple suppliers for one customer.

- Stability on routing.
- HA solutions like HSRP.
- Easy to manage remotely and through custom scripts.
- GUI for configuration like ASDM for ASAs, so it will be a more manageable first line support.
- Make it easier to build op Site2Site VPNs and adjust the profiles.

We use all Cisco Routers across the entire organization. They address WAN configuration as well as creating multiple Vlans to different areas of our business. We also have them setup to fail over multiple internet services at each of our locations for uptime purposes. We are confident they are very secure and provide us with a robust back end for our network.
- Uptime has been very high.
- Remote diagnostics and reporting is great.
- They work very well talking to our other Cisco Routers throughout our organization.
- We would like to see more of the Cisco Routers with ability to connect to the cloud without investing in new routers.
For our VoIP infrastructure which is also Cisco.
- Route
- DHCP for a small network
- ISR for smaller networks
- Updates of CME/SRST functions
Cisco Routers just work. You design, implement, and with regular maintenance, they keep going and going. Very reliable pieces of hardware.
- GRE Tunnels
- WAN
- Route
- LOS
- Bugs
- Price
