We have never had any issues with it.""Overall, it is a solid product and a good router.""AWS has a reference architecture to enable the Cisco routers in high availability and Transit VPC. This is a very powerful router and can enable us to use Transit VPC in AWS, and this is a very powerful feature that we use.""It allowed us to create a more secure VPN than we would have been able to do without it.""The most important feature is that it is designed for mobile vehicle communication in harsh conditions.""What's best about Cisco Cloud Services Router is the support. It's excellent, and so far, no significant challenges. Another valuable feature of the product is easy integration with other products.""It integrates well with the other products we're using. We have it with multiple windows like Palo Alto, Arista and it easily integrated with them."

Cons
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"The initial setup is easy for one device but is more complex when numerous devices need to be configured.""I would like to see better security, where there are more access controls and data confidentiality.""There should be a system in place to help existing users make an easier transition to the newer interfaces.""The ease of use within the AWS environment needs to improve. Sometimes, it is very esoteric in how you use it. Therefore, you have to learn to use it, then you are able to.""I would like the ability to moderate between devices on-premise to off-premise. This would be a vast improvement.""You can use this router in a scalable solution but it has its limitations.""Technical support could be better. I am missing a single pane of glass, where I can see all the connections, etc.""I would like some deployment examples and guides specific to AWS VPCs and how to separate your subnets. Then, how they tie-in with the Internet gateway and any NAT services that we are running on our VPC. This would be extremely helpful."

More Cisco Cloud Services Router Cons →

"We'd like the product to be more flexible so that we could more easily manipulate some of the features.""The configuration is complex and should be simplified.""The internet service for enterprise bundle should be improved.""The solution's technical support could be improved.""There is not much of a technical team for Huawei available in Pakistan as compared to Cisco with respect to very complex networks.""If Huawei can use its own OEM processor, it could be a good step up for future use in the network devices.""In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better bandwidth management, more granular web filtering, and portal authentication.""It would be better if local storage management was more flexible, so that unused data could be easily removed."
