Overall Satisfaction with Cisco 800 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR 800)
The main goal of purchasing these devices [was] 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 set up an 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 [we] 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 configuration
- 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
- ROI has been realized with low-priced hardware.
- Our smaller sites are now secure.
- [It has a] small learning curve for administrators.
