Cisco Routers--reliable and trusted for years

The Cisco devices are used throughout the enterprise and support the entire organization. They help us ensure our end user and customer network is segmented from our employee and testing networks. They provide a secure barrier from other devices and we rely on them to keep unwanted scans from penetrating to our server VLANs and network.

Yes, compatibility was a major factor when selecting the Cisco Routers. We have a Cisco-certified engineer on staff, so compatibility and familiarity with the programming languages was important. It also ensures support from Cisco is familiar with the data transmissions between their various devices (e.g., router, switch, firewall, and access points).

Yes, we have certainly benefitted from threat protection on our network from Cisco. The access controls from Cisco provide reliable and secure lockout mechanisms and ensure our VLANs are segmenting traffic as we need them to. We have recently undergone a vulnerability scan from an outside security company and were very pleased to hear that our network protection performed as expected and kept the scanning utilities out of our critical server infrastructure (as we expected it to).

Cisco Routers have been the only routers I have experience with in my career. We have evaluated other vendors; however, it was always noted that nothing compares to the reliability and well-known reputation of Cisco and their routers. I feel comfortable knowing my data and applications are securely behind Cisco Routers.
