Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst 8000 Edge Platforms

we use them as customer premise router that we manage / terminating MPLS circuits. We use these to connect to transaction processing systems for our customers

Pros

  • NAT
  • ACL
  • Speed of interfaces

Cons

  • we are using them to replace isr 4331's. as such, the ethernet (speed/duplex) interoperabiliyt with customer equipment seems to have issues at times.
  • ROI - 1U form factor is good
  • we aren't doing alot of bells and whisltles on our edge/Extranet
everything i can do on 4331's, i can do with the Cisco Catalyst 8000 Edge Platforms 8200.

Do you think Cisco Catalyst 8000 Edge Platforms delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Cisco Catalyst 8000 Edge Platforms's feature set?

Yes

Did Cisco Catalyst 8000 Edge Platforms live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Cisco Catalyst 8000 Edge Platforms go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Cisco Catalyst 8000 Edge Platforms again?

Yes

as stated before, the only bad thing we have seen is the speed/dupex interoperabilit with customer gear using the gig ethernet ports. a 4331 router will connect fine, but the Cisco Catalyst 8000 Edge Platforms 8200 will not. it's likely older customer gear that the Cisco Catalyst 8000 Edge Platforms 8200 has issues connecting? ethernet interfaces stay down//down
