Cisco 800 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR 800)
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We've been using it as a managed solution and the managed services as well. So when we use the Cisco product, we sell to the customer as a bundle where we do the engineering of the product and do the accreditation and lifecycle before we sell this to the customer. So the scope will involve the lifecycle and also the support pre-sales and post-sales.
Pros
- It's modularity and flexibility and I would say a wide support for a lot of different integration with cloud networking and legacy stuff as well.
Cons
- We can suggest it's more on the ease of usage. So I see some sort of complexity in terms of activations at customer sites. For example, like zero touch provisioning, which is, Cisco still claims that it supports, but it's not as good as what we expect usually compared to other products. So that's one sort of place where we seek the Cisco can improve.
Likelihood to Recommend
More suited is where we need more flexibility in terms of diagnosing the issues and also troubleshooting, which makes it easier for us because we have a more transparent way of diagnosing faults and fixing the issues. So that's a good one.
I'm not too sure what is the less appropriate areas, but I could see less appropriate, probably not in places where it's a quick deployment on the cloud side. So probably that's right, I think. And all the security solutions as well.
