Cisco Routers are still some of the best
Cisco Routers are used corporate-wide, by 700+ users daily, including users on campus and remotely via VPN. They address basic user connectivity to corporate assets. We do not use many ACLs on these particular devices, opting for a dedicated firewall instead, but for routing, these devices are spot on. Meraki, at least, is much easier to set up if not as granular that traditional IOS, but for out of the box setup, can't be beaten.
- Cisco Routers set up easily (even the IOS derivatives); they are basic in a good way.
- Cisco Routers support all routing protocols (limitations on Merakis)
- Work well in conjunction with Cisco switches.
- Documentation can be challenging sometimes if questions are had. The tech docs can be overwhelming.

New Gen Cisco Routers are still great !
We are a full time Cisco Shop, and use Cisco Routers for multiple reasons and at multiple locations. Also when vendors install equipment in our locations our preference is to use Cisco equipment for/by them in order to maintain stability. Cisco has proven to be the de facto standard in routing and in support models! The new generation of routers provide stability and full time availability to our organization as a whole.
- Route traffic between subnets
- Security
- Cost
- Recent issues with TAC support

The de-facto network equipment standard delivers quality routers
All our routers are Cisco routers and have been for many years. Cisco is still the de facto standard and have very high quality. From a technical perspective the internet is a very good resource for any troubleshooting you might need to do: there is a massive amount of documentation and experience to be found on the web regarding Cisco.
- Documentation on Cisco Routers is abundant.
- The web is a great resource for troubleshooting.
- Speed is good on the routers.
- Pricing is a little high.
- No real negatives are further worth mentioning.

Cisco RV is a good small business router option
I recently used two RV models of Cisco Routers, more precisely the RV042 and RV340. The main feature used is the VPN and in both it worked well. I believe most of those looking for and purchasing this line of Cisco Routers are looking to implement such functionality in their small and medium businesses.
- Functional VPN with robust configuration options for small businesses.
- Load balancing for WAN, adding excellent manageability to your network.
- Dual WAN.
- Firmware improvements as the routers (at least the models I used) can sometimes crash while setting up.
- In two RV042 that I had to configure and monitor, I had problems where they stopped working properly (crashes, loss of settings, bug). In another model, the VPN did not connect and only after a router restart did it work.
- Three WAN options on RV line.
They are used in our distribution, core, and peering layers.
- Route packets.
- Store prefixes.
- There are inconsistencies in syntax and feature set across families.
- The recommended code releases are usually way behind the release schedule.
- Catastrophic bugs can cause issues with the most benign of changes.
