"I would like it if Cisco Routers had a longer lifecycle. That's what we need. We don't want to renew or implement a new model. One model should be available for at least five years. This seems impossible nowadays."
"The price could be better"
"The solution is expensive and difficult to manage."
"It would be good if Cisco Enterprise Routers could improve their integration with other vendors. For example the AGLP protocol is supported by Cisco and not by any other vendors."
"Cisco Enterprise Routers could improve by making their solution more user-friendly. Currently, users need to have extensive knowledge of networking to use them because there is only a command-line interface for the configuration. They should add a graphical interface to allow junior users guidance and more flexibility when doing the configuration."
"Recently, there seems to be a lot of people who are leaning towards Juniper CLI, which is easier to pick up."
"If Cisco can give you one license and allow you to use all the features, that would be the best thing. We are using it only as a voice gateway, and there are other options available, but we need to procure licenses to use those options. We can use it as a security device, or we can use it for connecting the LAN side, but for that, we need all those licenses. They can provide one license and allow you to use all the features. This is my recommendation for Cisco."

"The RAM capacity offered by the product needs to be increased, as it is one area where the tool currently has some shortcomings."
"If MikroTik had a marketing team and support team in India then it would be much easier for us to get the product, as well as support."
"It would be even better with a centralized management platform."
"The bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better."
"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"Technical support could be better."
