Overall Satisfaction with Cisco 800 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR 800)

We have a few of these [Cisco] 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!
  • [It] helps smaller sites tie into HQ network services.
  • [It] bundles a lot of higher-end features into a cheaper box.
  • [It is] easy to set up and get running.
  • [It] can't handle huge workloads.
  • [It] 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.
  • Money saved not laying fiber to these locations.
  • Time saved in their simplified operation.
  • You do lose out on some network resources if you're not using these for VPN tunnels.

They do have their place in the overall scheme of things. When you're not trying to host 1000 clients at a major site, and just need to get a smaller group of individuals either tunneled back to the network or on their own with a decent router, I'd recommend this [for] those types of scenarios for sure.
