Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Cloud Services Router 1000V Series (CSR 1000V)

We have used Cisco Cloud Services Router 1000V Series (CSR 1000V) as the gateway router to our cloud platform. It is a great product to have full control on our environment and also integrate with our on-prem Radius/TACACS infrastructure. we use use this device to do traffic engineering in/out of our environment. We used this to circumvent the TGW infra on the cloud platform. we also use this effectively to manage different zones and segregate traffic for VPC-based traffic engineering.
  • Cloud gateway
  • Traffic engineering
  • VPN/VPC-based zones, DMVPN
  • License management can be improved, we should be able to use our EA agreement licenses
  • Pricing and cost of router could be more simplified
  • This could be made cost-effective as in current price models, but this cannot be adapted by small-medium businesses
  • Available in virtual mode, helps reduce physical implementation
  • Very easy to implement and use
  • VPC-based routing and traffic engineering and monitoring
  • On-prem network integration is very simple
  • As this is available on AWS workplace, it's easy to configure and implement
  • Absolute worth for money, easy ROI
  • With the Cisco global support model, this becomes very easy to configure and troubleshoot and becomes part of my overall asset list
  • License management could be simplified and made more cost-effective
