Overall Satisfaction with Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR 4000)

We are currently using Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers as our voice gateway routers at our branch offices. These routers allow us to connect directly to telco PRIs so that our branch offices have phone services. We also use them as our backup WAN router if the primary WAN router would ever happen to go down.
  • The ISR 4000 is an excellent router for our voice services. We purchased CUBE licensing in order to do this.
  • The ISR 4000 is an excellent router for security purposes as well. We purchased the security license with the router and that allowed us to run a Zone-Based Firewall.
  • The ISR 4000 is very simple and straight forward to configure.
  • Licensing the router using Cisco Smart Licensing can be troublesome especially if the router is in an air-gapped environment.
  • It would be nice if the router came standard with more onboard ports
  • The ability to use it as a voice gateway router.
  • The ability to use it as a backup WAN router
  • Redundant power supplies
  • Since we've installed the routers they have been rock solid and have not caused us any downtime.
  • They simply do what they are intended to do and do that very well.
Since we are a Cisco shop, we didn't evaluate any other products. We knew what we were getting when we made the decision to purchase this router, and it has exceeded our expectations.

We are strictly a Cisco shop. Since our entire phone system is Cisco-based, it only makes sense that we have a Cisco router as our voice gateway. Not only that, but Cisco products just seem to be very reliable, and if you do have any issues at all Cisco technical support is just a phone call away.
